SPY HUNTER preproduction images!
Hey folks, Harry here... Seems after The Rock's last film, he's become a viable action personality, even if that flick didn't make a profit (which had more to do with the INSANE budget of that flick) and since they made sure in the WALKING TALL remake which is based loosely upon the Buford Pusser story of the same name, to not call Dwayne "Buford Pusser".... well, I'm no longer diametrically opposed to the project and am now curious to see it as well. HOWEVER, the two Rock projects I am dying to see are SPY HUNTER and INSTANT KARMA, both of which have the imagination and sense of cool that I'm all for in Geek Cinema Cool. Check these out...
Hi Harry,
As promised, here are some top secret/exclusive images for all of us to cream-fan-boy/girl-over. Take a sweet look at the various transportation vehicles for The Rock and his INTERCEPTOR car. They are: The IES Aquatic Transport, The Weapons Van and the IES Hawk. Let the world see!!!! Thanks in advance.
Lotta love,
Stacy Sneakers

I hope the movie dosen't suck.

I hear some hard rock spy music in my head

I'll go see it for the gadgets, not the Rock.

movies adapted from video games are. Yeah. This is worth looking forward to. Uh-huh./Since it needs to be said, make Hulk Hogan the baddie: "Watch out for my spiky wheels, brother!"
-
Fuck yeah, this will kick major arse but I'm at a loss for any kind of plot right now. Hell, if they can turn a theme park ride about pirates into a great summer blockbuster and probably the best summer film in recent years then it has a chance.
-
Thanks, Harry. That's what this site is all about, brother.
-
It's nice to see fresh material appear on the screen
-
Could there be a looser premise? "DigDug" has more to work with! How about "Missile Command"? I am waiting forthe layered nuances of a "Pong" feature. That would have to be done as a trilogy to cover everything.
Having said all of that......I will, of course, go see it. -

I mean the only thing that counts as a bad guy in the game due to it making your level of frustration so damn high were the fucking oil slicks on the road. Those things pissed me off royally :) Anyhow so what if it's a videogame movie, The Rock proved he's better than that action movie hack Twin Diesel (There are two brothers playing the role of "Vin" I am sure of it.)The Rundown was a good film and showed he can do more than The People's Eyebrow, Elbow, and do Rockbottoms.
-
Movies from video games...movies from books...remakes remakes remakes.....Does Hollywood have a creative thought left?
-
As for the images, I've seen this before. When will design people realize that this slick chrome silver bullshit sleek car crap is just boring. Look at Amidala's ship in Phantom menace. Shiny dull bullshit. We need some style here. Look at the Millenium Falcon from the original Star Wars for instance. It's hurtin. Mechanical problems, hull scars, and a bad case of wookie hair clogs in all the pipes, yet I'd still rather pilot that than other transportation I can think of. The ship's got class, it has character and without it it's simply just a vehicle that the hero uses to get from place to place. And that contributes nothing to the soul of the film itself.

When they make the live action Metroid, Zelda, and Super Mario B
by terry_1978
That first Mario flick didn't count, mostly due to the fact that they jumped the gun technology wise, thinking they could pull it off when they couldn't. They could do it now with CGI, and a little part of me hopes they give it another shot one day. And have you seen Tupac:Ressurection, Mr. Knowles? Been getting rave reviews as of late.
-
I got two words for ya. "Rolling Thunder". sk
-
These look like left-over designs from KR2000. Some of you talkbackers might be blowing the Rock now, but come next year, when this is effectively XXX2, you will demand he be hung, drawn & quartered. I have little hope for this. Super Mario Bros. 2 on the otherhand....

The real thing will probably never come close to that, but the artists did a great job with those.

I wish he'd credit himself as "Dwayne Johnson" and not "The Rock
by zerocorpse
"The Rock" is the character Dwayne plays for the WWE, and I'd really like to see him distance himself from that a little bit- and underline the point that he is not The Rock, but PLAYS The Rock on a TV show. He's turned out to be a good actor, and a perfect modern action hero- But he needs to drop the constant WWE association and the character name in the credits, or he'll wind up like "Hulk Hogan" (Terry Bolea), "Mr. T" (Laurence Turead), and most American Gladiators. Yeah, a lot of celebrities use fake names- But they're at least in a traditional western naming format- First Name, Surname. Not "The" and then a noun of some sort! Please Dwayne, I'm begging you- I love the WWE, but in the long run you're going to want to look back on your movie work and say "Dwayne starred in that movie" and not think of it as an extension of the WWE work you do, but as a different facet and another character role for Dwayne Johnson.

Once again, I present "Asteroids", starring Christopher Walken:
by zerocorpse
Damn- In another persona I posted a kickass script for an Asteroids movie starring Christopher Walken... I'm going to see if I can find it- If it wasn't from a banned name, that is. Here's a sample, anyway- Picture a Walken delivery: "It's been 7 hours. Where are all these damn ASTEROIDS coming from? I shoot them. All. They break apart, and then more ASTEROIDS come out of nowhere. This is a goddamn nightmare! There are just so damn many ASTEROIDS! Jesus! That's all I've seen for 8 hours now! ASTEROIDS! I'm losing my mind, here. Wait! What's that? A UFO? In this field of ASTEROIDS? It's shooting at me! The bastard! I'll show him not to mess with a man in a triangle ship!" -and so on.

Damn Moriarty and his ban-happy ass. Why do they have to delete everything you've ever written when they ban you? I think he was jealous of my genius Astroids script, and wanted to make sure I didn't steal his thunder! (well, it's a working theory...) -So no ASTEROIDS starring Christopher Walken until I can re-write it. WAHH!
-
Well, it's pretty. But I gotta ask: 1. Do you really need a wrestler-type to drive a _car_? Doesn't a Bond type seem more appropriate? 2. Do they have a kick-ass version of the Peter Gunn theme to back it up? (And _not_ that "Art of Noise" crap, please...)

I think he is perfect for this movie. I just hope the movie does him justice. I am not a fan of wrestling but I think the Rock has more charm then stupid ass Vin Diesel

I have nothing else to say.

More gadgets, a lustreless action star, and no discernible story to speak of. You bore me.

Why the fuck isn't that car red?

I use to love that game! I wish Namco would've included this in ther Museum collections. It wouldn't make a bad movie either.
-
What does anybody know about Christopher Lee being cut from "Return of the King"? Wassup with that?
-
I see it being discussed in another talkback. Sorry.
-
Someone posted something about The Rock changing his name to Dwayne Johnson in Hollywood. I agree.
"The Rock" is a character within the WWE, and I honestly believe more people would respect him much more if he changed it. I guess it's good for now that more people are calling him Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson....I don't like to think of him as "The Rock" because than I think of the WWE, and I think of how I never want him to go back there. The fans were *so* rude to him last time he returned and I'll never forget that "you soldout" chant. :|
Anyway, "Spy-Hunter" looks awesome. Dwayne was great in "The Rundown" and it was by far my favourite movie I've seen all year long, so hopefully this movie will be just as good. :)
Btw, is it just me, or does Dwayne seem to be getting the strangest movie roles lately? "Instant Karma", "Be Cool", "T4", the list goes on and on. -
Sure, there's nothing wrong about making movies based on games... I really enjoyed Final Fantasy, Mortal Kombat, and Resident Evil. ///// But this is most obviously going to suck real bad; Spy Hunter was an awful game with no plot whatsoever that barely anyone can remember today. ///// Damn, why don't they make a Metal Gear movie... or a Half-Life movie... or a Headhunter movie? Honestly, a PITFALL movie would be far, FAR better!!!

A fat fire-breathing Russian, that's screaming box office smash!!! Altered Beast, a cross between Split Second and Nightbreeds?**** Seriously, they need to make Space Quest, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, X-com, Tecmo Superbowl, and last but not least, Virtual Valerie.
-
Could legitimately make a great film. But an Asteroids movie starring Christopher Walken would probably make more money.
-
I would expolde with joy if a Monkey Island movie was made.

This is concept art from the game SpyHunter 2 not the movie. If you don't believe me go rent or buy the game next week when it ships and look at the vehicles!

The trailer: Mr: Voice: "In a world where people like hamburgers, there is one man who can give them what they want... But he's only six inches tall! And he has a style All His Own!" Robert Deniro as Chef Peter Pepper ("Ya want some more pepper, do ya? DO YA?"), Gary Busey as Mr. Egg ("WHOOOO! We're gonna have FUN tonight! Hoo YEAH! Here comes Mr. Aigg!"), Samuel L. Jackson as Mr. Hot Dog ("Baby, you done messed with the wrong damn hot dog."), and Christopher Walken as Mr. Pickle ("Do I frighten you... Peter? Does my vinegar-like pickle odor make you ill? Let me show you... What a pickle can do to defend himself.") Mr. Voice: "There's nothing you can do to stop... BURGERTIME!" (Chef Peter Pepper: "Look out below! You're going to be part of one big-ass sandwich, you f@#%in' Egg motherf@#%er!") Rated "R" for language, violence, and gore.

It really should be red, otherwise it starts to bear no resemblance to the original inspiration. I also want to see a Tetris movie, starring Jeff Goldblum as the box-shaped thing, Clint Howard as the L-shaped thing, Rob Schneider as the crooked shaped thing, and Tracy Lords as the straight thing. Music by Mody and Eminem.

...these are production illos done by Scott Robertson for Midway Games' Spy Hunter 2 for PS2, developed by Angel Studios (now Rock Star Games San Diego) Great stuff by Scott.

Hey where's the Mr. Do movie???
Mike Myers as Mr. Do...and keep the original music from the game! -
Now I know why the Rock's films make money, because there are people who think like this "Hell, if they can turn a theme park ride about pirates into a great summer blockbuster and probably the best summer film in recent years then it has a chance." The best summer movie in recent memory? That's frightening...

Dude that looks like crap car concept art from 1985. BORING. Either that or a "marital aid". And for you 13 year olds who don't know what a "marital aid" is, it is a vibrator. You know, the thing a girl uses to please herself after you failed. God if anyone had gone to Art Center or any other design school this will be the 14 trillionth car they've seen that looks exactly like that. And I thought the point of the Weapons Van was that it was kind of inconspicuous, you know, SECRET? Like SPIES are supposed to be. SECRET? Anyone, anyone? Which one is the spy (hunter)? Geez, I don't know. Maybe it's the one in the chrome car with machine guns and missiles going into the chrome truck. Missiles, machine guns, get yer missiles and machine guns here...

The original arcade game ruled. Who knew how to get to the boat? Oil, Smoke, missles, great game. The new age remake wasn't any good. Now a movie. The problem is everything in the games is about a car. Movies have to be about people. The person driving the car is more important in a movie. If he isn't good the movie will suck. There just isn't enough "stuff" to build a flim around. They'll try anyway. Just ask yourselves, what is Knight Rider without Michael Knight? Just a car. At least Kitt can talk!
