Are you going to party like it's 1999 in ARNOLD's END OF DAYS'
Now dammit this is just cool. Spend NEW YEARS in Times Square would be cool enough. I've wanted to do that at least once in my life anyway, but to also at the very same moment be a moving head in an Arnold Schwarzenegger Action/Horror film? Hahahahahaah... yeaaaaaah baby, I so wanna go. But you geeks are given the mission. This is from a kickass scene in the script... while passing through history, become a part of it. Cool eh?
Times Square. New Year's Eve. What could possibly make this a more
chaotic setting? How about Ah-nult battling Satan?
That's right! It has come to my attention that the END OF DAYS
production plans to shoot in NYC on New Year's Eve. And, from what
I've gathered of the screenplay, shooting on Times Square is virtually
guaranteed. I'm working on confirming this, but, in my opinion, you
can take this bit of info to the bank. It's gonna be a madhouse.
One question: has anyone notified Dick Clark?

Are we talking about general crowd shots here or actual scenes for the film? And who's playing Satan? BTW, Arnie's best by far film is the undiscovered classic 'Stay Hungry' by Bob Rafelson, 1976. Check it out: It is a brilliant, brilliant movie also starring Jeff Bridges and Sally Fields. (Someone responded to my posting Wednesday re: John Williams but I couldn't read the message cause the page is messed up. PLEASE EMAIL ME whoever you are!!)

This would be so incredible to be a part of this film. Especially in this stand-off scene. I can't wait for this film to come out, it should be great. Oh, and to the other person who posted a message. Gabriel Byrne plays the human form of Satan.

Surely people would want to be near London for New Years Eve 1999? Seeing at it's the official "home of time" (GMT) and the millennium officially starts when Big Ben chimes.
Hollywood's missing a good oportunity to base a "millenniumistic" film in London, IMO.
-
Actually, The new millineum officially starts at the International Dateline in the Pacific. It will be 0001 Jan 1, 2000 there before anywhere.
-
In actual fact, the millenium begins with the first day of 2001, not of 2000. The year 2000 completes the old millenium, the way 10 completes the cardinal decimal numbers.
It is only because of the other trappings of the millenium (the departure of the 19--, the year 2K issues, plus ignorance and impatience) that Jan 1, 2000 has become the
date we all now look forward to. By the way, I got a great (bogus) announcement in EMAIL: Microsoft announced that Windows 2000 will be delayed due to Y2K issues, and the new expected
release date is expected to be February 1901.

Before I talk about this topic, can any of you name the movie this line came from (hint, it's a christmas movie and it's not hard): "That's a Christmas present from a very deer friend of mine."
Anyway, I think this is a cool idea for a movie and I'm glad Arnie is going back to one of these die hard action/adventures. I think it's cool that they are filming and actualy new years eve. -
I just have to chime in on the age old "When does the new century/millenium begin?" debate. The case for 2001 is that there was no year zero, therefore we will only be 2000 years from year 1 in 2001. But why would we want to celebrate 2000 years having passed from from some arbitrary date? It's *not* the anniversary of the birth of Christ. There are no Historians or indeed Christian Scholars who accepts a year 1 birth. Although opinions vary, I believe 27 AD is considered the most widely accepted date. So 2001 has no real religious significance. Why then are we interested? And what is it about the number 2000 anyway? Or indeed 1900, or 1800, etc? The only REAL significance these numbers have is that in BASE 10 counting, the digits roll over. Base 10 counting is no more logical than base 16 (hexadecimal) or base 2 (binary) or any other base. It's an accident of evolution that we use it. The fact is, however, that we do use it, and the real significance of the Millinium is an emotional one. It is that not only will the second digit change, but for the first time in a thousand years, so will the first. And that DOES NOT happen in 2001!!!
-
Actually I though 4B.C. was the most widely accepted date of Christ's birth.
-
What the hell does the birth of Christ have to do with the new millenium? Not all of us are christian, anyway early fall of year 4 is the most common thought of when christ was born. None of this really has anything to do with the cool new arnold movie so why are we talking abot it.
-
The most commonly accepted birthdate of Christ is between 6BC to 4BC (if he was born at all), so the 2000th anniversary has passed already. Of course, the anniversary I'd be worried about would be the 2000th anniversary of his death...that's when the shit would hit the fan...If I believed in that. I do have an easy solution to those who argue about 2000 or 2001. You celebrate the new millinium on both years. That's what I'm going to be doing. Celebrate the significance of the change in digits in 2000, and celebrate the REAL new millinium the next year. And if you do it properly, you should have a hangover that makes you feel like you've fought Satan...now, I hope that manages to segue back into talking about "End of Days".
-
Yeah. You said it. Celebrate both days, I can't wait to get drunk and pass out before the clock hits 12.
-
Hey Harry, need a place to crash in NY? I will be going to Times Square on NY's eve for the second time. Contact me. Time is running out...
-
Shouldn't all of us (at least partly) computer geeks try to survive until December 31st, 2047 in order to celebrate the Binary Millennium? :)
The big 100000000000 is coming!
