Kanedas Bike Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ^ LOL at Kirk! But the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man pic does not look all that bad. And I got that same Ultimate Spider-Man meets The Dark Knight (or at least a darker atmosphere than the Raimi films) vibe too. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanzerfan Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Not sure if its been said but Keanu Reeves is Cowboy Beboop....for 2011 release yet no real news???? http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/07/22/fox-developing-cowboy-bebop-live-action-feature-film/ I think Johhny Depp would make a better Spike than Keanu Reeves ever would.

No, Keanu would definately make a better Spike than Johnny Depp. Alex Winters would make a better Spike than Johnny Depp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Jenius Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think Johhny Depp would make a better Spike than Keanu Reeves ever would. Why? Johnny Depp would serve no purpose other than to sell more Cowboy Bebop swag at Hot Topic. Keanu isn't the best actor, but I dunno... I root for him anyway.

Graham Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Aren't both Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp gettng a little long in the tooth to play Spike? I mean Keanu is 47 and Johnny Depp is 48! Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Train Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The only adaptation role Keanu is suited to play is the G-Man from Half-Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areaseven Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Since we're talking about remakes, here's a comparison between one movie and its remake. Anthony ZimmerStudioCanal, 2005Written and Directed by Jérôme SalleStarring: Sophie Marceau (Princess Isabelle in Braveheart, Electra King in The World Is Not Enough) as Chiara, Yvan Attal (George in Rush Hour 3) as François TaillandierWanted by authorities worldwide, money launderer Anthony Zimmer goes in hiding and has surgery done to alter his face and voice. He tells his lover Chiara to board a train and pick up any man to trick the police into thinking he's Zimmer. She befriends a loner named François, who now becomes a target of a syndicate that Zimmer stole money from. The TouristSpyglass Entertainment/GK Films/Columbia Pictures, 2010Directed by Florian Henckel von DonnersmarckStarring: Johnny Depp (Glen in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Gator Lerner in Platoon) as Frank Tupelo, Angelina Jolie (Cash in Cyborg 2, Acid Burn in Hackers) as Elise Clifton-Ward, Paul Bettany (Jarvis in Iron Man 1-2, Silas in The Da Vinci Code) as Inspector John Acheson, Timothy Dalton (James Bond 007 in The Living Daylights and License to Kill) as Chief Inspector JonesThis movie takes all the suspense and mystery of Anthony Zimmer and throws them all out the window; in place are mindless action scenes, overblown settings and props, an incoherent plot and Angelina Jolie. Seriously, why would anyone pick her over Sophie Marceau? Jolie ruins the character with her bland acting and completely fake looks. Johnny Depp does as much as possible to make the film interesting, but even the greatest actors can't make a bad script work.In short, The Tourist is a perfect example of how not to remake a good French movie. Even worse than Point of No Return (a.k.a. The Assassin) being a cover of La Femme Nikita. Edited July 12, 2013 by areaseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taksraven Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 on the subject of remakes, how about movies that need a remake.......can you think of any? The Black Hole might benefit from a remake. The original *nearly* got it right, but they stuffed it up towards the end. Disney is planning a remake but I'm not sure how far along that is. Personally though, as I'm sure that I have already stated here, I would like to see some SF books that haven't been filmed in the past due to the limitations of SFX get made using CGI. Most films do not require remakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vepariga Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone watching the V TV series remake? yeah mate I watch it just for something to watch,first season was pretty dull,but second season has picked up in the first ep,noticeable effects increase and quality too.

Dynaman Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 on the subject of remakes, how about movies that need a remake.......can you think of any? "The Last Starfighter", modern computer graphics would be good for it, and I don't think it could get much worse plotwise. Sort of related, the recent "Clash of the Titans" got sour reviews but it was really no worse or better then the original. A few Japanese sci-fi movies from the late seventies and early eighties, I remember one that had sparklers on the back of a spaceship. The live action Yamato shows that the Japanese can do spaceships now. "Green Slime" might be a good contender - even though I liked the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney is planning a remake but I'm not sure how far along that is. O.k this could be the only time ever I get to say Hollywood raped my childhood. I was 7 when that came out, it was the first film I ever saw in a cinema. I almost have as much Black Hole stuff as Macross stuff. Yeah they stuffed it up in a few places. Some of it due to script and some of it due to the actors, the space scene when boarding the probe ship, the actors didn't like the space suits so didn't wear them. The whole end bit was pure hippy poo. The book is only marginally different to the film, but fills in some gaps etc. You don't get to say that often. I,d love to see it done with modern effects etc, but fear it would loose all the kitch charm of the original. Just read an article by the would be director, he said he would keep the Cygnus and Maximilian designs but bring in new thinking due to science knowing more about black holes etc. If that is the case I'm down with that.

areaseven Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 on the subject of remakes, how about movies that need a remake.......can you think of any? Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End needs to be remade, or at least done properly. There have been rumors that the script was done after filming, and it really showed on the final product. All the suspense built up on Dead Man's Chest fizzled out on this, with the Kraken being killed off-screen, Norrington just dying in the middle of the film without any character resolution between him and Jack, and a lack of showdown between all the pirates of the world and the East India Trading fleet.

I totally agree. That film did kind of run like a film with loads cut out. Also the Norrington, Jack story arc fell flat. Films that need a remake. Hmmm how about ... everything I think of has been done or its idea has already been used in another film. How about Buck Rogers. That has not been touched for a while, there's the nostalgia for the 30 somethings who remember it from the 80's and with a few storyline tweak it could be bang up to date for the now generation.

Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Aliens 3 and 4 and resurrection or whatever (I stopped counting at Aliens) all need a remake. I would support a Return of the Jedi remake if they cut out all that Ewok crap and flimsy SSD bridge shields plot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I always found it funny that the Duel of the Fates music video had like 3 times as much dialog for Maul than the actual movie did. And one cut scene doubles it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae_productions Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I think they need to remake Macross DYRL, only live action. Van Damm as Hikaru. Pamela Anderson as Misa. Nicolas Cage as Roy Fokker. Beyonce as Lynn Minmai. Steven Segal as a cross dressing Claudia Grant. Sam Jackson as Gloval. Micheal Bay to direct, so there will be no need for story, or a script. This sounds like a suit's wet dream. Seriously, the ONLY thing Hollywood is making is remakes, sequels or existing IP's. It's getting absurd.
