Another Reason To Pray For ROSEMARY'S BABY...Team Bay Closing In For The Kill??
Merrick here...
Because there can't possibly be any new concepts in Hollywood...(sarcasm)
Seems Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes may be gearing up to remake Roman Polanski's ROSEMARY'S BABY. So says THIS ARTICLE at Shock Till You Drop.
No other details are available at this time, although I imagine the original film's tone and atmosphere will be completely shattered by thunderous crash cuts and distracting strobe light effects.

first and there are no orignal ideas in the land of dumbass
-
that was my only try at the stupidty of being first
-
Every week start up to 7 or 8 times more original movies than remakes at the U.S. Box Office.
(Of course I don't wanna defend Platinum Dunes with this argument, because...these guys REALLY suck!) -
I hope satan smashes Platinum GOons to dust. Ridiculous.
-
Scriptures are nearly complete, pictures and everything. Drop me any submissions etc.
thanks -
sorry couldn't resist after that advert he did.

Fuck you Michael Bay! Do you even understand horror? The answer is a resounding NO because you fucked up TCM you asshole. Is it your goal in life to take a shit on every movie actual horror fans love? Go back to making your souless buddy cop/end of the world/retarded movies and leave our classics alone you piece of shit. Son of a bitch, this is pissing me off
-
I needed to hear that after reading this shitty news. Can't wait to see the final product! Burt be praised!
-
..love that line!! Also "..to Year One!!.." That Roman Castevet!..he's too much
-
i figured someone would have posted while i was typing myself so i didn't even go for it.
-
..this remake reeks of Tannis Root and has a chalky undertaste

they are moving my dept out to open cubicles surrounded by people. Which means I probably wont get a chance to come on during the day much anymore besides sick days and whatnot. Which makes me furious. I'll have to pull some night work for the Church

1/2 agent screams in agony. The Holy Trinity finds this completely unacceptable. It is time your company witnessed the power of an angry Tony Jaa. It has been whispered that your company stole his elephant. Tony not happy.

Before is too late!

Michael Bay hates cinema.
-
I'm setting my legs on fire right now in meditation.
-
be made in today's market. It's far too deliberately paced and atmospheric. Leave it alone Platinum Dunes.

Michael Bay is the antichrist.

And Satans sperm will come BLASTING out of space with a Big EXPLOSION...PRPHHHKKKPOWWWWW..and then the ovaries will be like PEERRRGGFFFKKKPOWWWWW!!!
-
Oh please someone shoot me now. Why do people keep giving Bay money? Maybe he'll combine this with TRANSFORMERS so that the Decepticon devil baby can blow sh*t up.
-
...fuck this movie. What a waste... I can't believe Hollywood sucks this bad for ideas. Do you guys want me to pitch some new/fresh ideas? If so, email me. I'll be glad to help for a nominal fee.
-
now they can get back to writing shitty remakes and stupid sitcoms!
-
I'm sure it will be a PG-13 CGI-fest. Not having read the comments, I'm sure this was mentioned a few times. Casting predictions: Malin Akerman and Josh Hartnett.
-
that script writers and execs can't even have nightmares and neuroses that weren't relised in film form before by others? I should learn to script some of my nightmares. Even Jigsaw would back away slowly calling me a sick fuck.
-
I've always though the origional would be better with more explosions. Maybe they could also add more of that extra color saturation and shakey cam. Oh, one more thing. Could you take all the character development and story and stuff out of it cause I think that just takes away from the ancillary teen romance arch that we just can't get enough of.
-
that was about a perfect description of a Bay movie. Fuck fuck fuck, there is no way the subtle terror of Rosemary's Baby translates in the least. Why does Bay have so much power in lalaland lately? He's among the worst directors EVER!
-
It's made him a lot of money over the years and made him a successful producer by exploiting it.
-
Merrick doesn't like Michael Bay, That's original. Come to think of it just another one of his witty assho..um opinions.
-
a SINGLE original new idea in its existance then, do I have this right? That each and every project they've produced has been a horror remake? (& I mean that both in the genre category and sense of impending doom of the movie itself getting made)
-
I thought Nader held the title for "most damage to society through blind egomania". I see now it belongs to Michael 'You know how everyone says Awesome now? Yeah.. I started that' Bay.
-
that thing was so boring, my god. i realize its really old and all but man, it makes the original exorcist seem exciting.
-
remake was just as boring as the original, so i may be wrong.
-
Awesome pregnancy (explosion), awesome satanists (explosion).
-
Gunfire and explosions. Whoop.
-
otherwise you have the worst taste in horror movies anyway so what do you care?
-
With some talent.
-
I never thought I'd see anything related to him be defended.
-
and knocked up. and to a lesser extent that waitress one. waitress? i love this movie, don't make it shit, i dread to see what they have done to my beloved the birds..
-
to kick Michael Bay in the balls. Why not remake the Patty Duke TVM "Whatever Happened to Rosemary's Baby". I hear they fucked that up pretty badly back in the day, why not try to make it right?
-
The Omen was good. The remade Omen was shit.
-
"hey...let's make love" "Well now you've turned me on...let's do it baby." "wow that was great, let's finish eating now"
-
The horror of terrible film-making.
-
i actually like bay. bring it on haters. let the hate flow through you, it brings you focus, makes you stronger. k, i will stop now.
with that being said though, this whole idea is so fucked up. he needs to stick with what he does best: making celluloid roller coasters. i mean, what the fucks gonna happen? a CGI satan will bust through the wall of rosemary's apartment AFTER terrorizing the city by batting down passersby by with a skyscraper in each hand? -
fuck that... damn you michael bay
-
fuck that... damn you michael bay
-
Michael Bay really is the ANTICHRIST!
-
I`d just assume give it to Rob Zombie.

Generally speaking, I don't consider myself a hater of remakes. But there is something about Platinum Dunes remaking ROSEMARY'S BABY that very definitely strikes me as disrespectful. I'd much rather see a re-release of this Polanski masterwork, wide distribution on big screens to reintroduce the film to new generations. I'd pay to see the original in a theater right now. But I can assure you, I will NOT pay to see the remake. For Bay and Dunes, this is not about Art; it's about money. And they won't get mine.
-
What a useless production company. Michael Bay doesn't really bother me, but his production company NEEDS to be shut down. Really, it's worthless.
-
Still cracks me up after all this time. That was the problem I had with the film... I couldn't take it seriously. Everytime I would see the old people in the film I would think of "Foul Play".
But that's besides the point. Even if it's a lame film, Platinum Dunes is completely useless production company. -
I read this story yesterday and still can't believe they would fuck with this classic. Rosemary's Baby is sheer perfection from beginning to end and the epitome of master film making. What makes a hack like Michael Bay, who only caters to an ADD crowd with the mentality of 10 year olds, that he could ever improve on Polanski's masterpiece? This shit will be forgotten the Saturday after it opens. I seriously think this remake should be boycotted and send a message to Hollywood that the bullshit has to stop.
-
a day apart...coincidence????!!!!!
-
and flee the U.S. as a pedophile?
-
Hollywood is not going to stop. The sooner you come to terms with this, the happier you'll be.
-
No the new director will just rape our collective eye sockets.
-
this has to be a joke..before it was a bad thing, now this is just something that you laugh at. It's become a joke, I'm one of those that really don't want to hate anybody, but honestly Michael Bay i've enjoyed some of your movies, granted my brain was shut off for 2.5 hrs or so, but this has got to stop. I'm not purchasing a movie ticket for this movie if it does get made, you and your company are a bunch of greedy sons of bitches who have seem to run out of creative and productive ideas, which kind of defeats the point of a PRODUCTION Company.....I hope you and your croanies change your ways and develop a method for moviemaking. Transformers was a name that you fortunately had under your belt, but soon no people are going to want to see un film di Michael Bay.
-
DON'T touch Rosemary's Baby. DON'T let Michael Bay do remakes.DON'T support platinum dunes. DON'T enjoy stupid explosions. DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T
-
It would add a certain authenticity and extra creepiness.
-
not a fan of pop jokes, but the funny thing is it would actually work...I can totally imagine the Cruise in Satanic garb
-
i watched the original the other night and yes it is a classic but it is also very dated. it would be cool to do a realy good remake and make it more relavent to our times however in the right hands and platinum dunes has a shitastic reputation for remakes.
-
Let Michael Bay remake Armageddon, and keep doing it until he gets it right. I assume that will keep him busy for long enough that by the time he gets back to the horror genre, Saw 57 will be gracing theaters.
-
We got all these fucking retards in Hollywood just minning old material to death, churning out remakes/reboots/reimaginings all the time. There are hundreds, no, probably thousands of aspiring writers with new talent and ideas who by misfortune will never have the chance to bring their new content to the big screen. It's sad. And god I hate Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes
-
...Tell that to all the fucking stupid ass people in this world that will see it anyway!!!
Just what the world needs: more lollipop PG-13 wannabe horror/suspense movies for the cineplex. -
oh yeah...Milla Janovich in a wife beater with sunglasses shotgun in one hand and baby in a carrier in the other over a super hot desert road. The old lady sends out two Blackhawks and a "GO TEAM" to get the baby back...aawesomeeeee!
Nah. straight up. this needs Jessica Alba. we're talkin' SERIOUS millions there.
-
...and fire shoots outta it's eyes like, PShAAAaaawww! An' then... an' then it hops up on a table an' starts tossin' fireballs and the whole brownstone just explodes like, BAAAOOOOM! BaRROOOOM! An' then the army jets fly in VRRRRoooOOM-THOOOOMMMmm! An'... an'...."
-
I think it is just a matter of them going, "It's worth paying the royalties for a preexisting name because you guarantee yourself at least one weekend of idiots and fanboys/-girls going to see it, than it is taking a risk on something unproven and having no audience at all." If it was all the same, why would they want to pay for the rights to something if they didn't have to? Michael Bay is a businessman after all, not an artist. This is how he sees the world of moviemaking: as little money as possible going out, and as much as possible coming back in.If people stopped paying to see these pieces of shit you better believe he'd stop making them.
-
this has been re-made. Arnie was in it and fought Satan at a church in the end. awesome.
-
...Michael Bay's JUNO! "I'm having this baby, bee-otch!" BOOOM! ARRRRRgh! Ratttattat-tata... BARRROOOOOM!
-
Now yer talkin'...HEY WHY NO TEARS FOR GARY GYGAX WHO DIED TODAY? THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER :-(
-
the original is TIMELESS, dude. Not only is the horror of not wanting the baby inside of you TIMELESS, but the subtextual horror of an obviously decrepit older generation subsuming the generation below it is also TIMELESS. There is a big difference in something being 'dated' and you being able to tell what decade it was made in.
-
will finally show us her huge firm tits! I think that's the upside that most of us are missing here. You know she's going to get the part and she's been wanting to let the twins out for a long time now so what better way to do it?
-
That transforms and blows YOUR MIND
-
Now they can rectify that wimp ass impregnation scene. Its up to bay to bring Hentai to the mainstream.
-
no way. this is still the ONLY movie myself and my gf (of 13years) can still watch AND SHIT OURSELVES again and again... even my 15 yr-old understands how deep and truly unsettling this film is... OMG I can't take it anymore... please refer to www.ijustshotmyselfinthehead(andmymissusandmykid).com... BANG;}
-
Gotta love over-emphatic voiceovers from old trailers...
-
No seriously. I like the idea of Rosemary giving birth to the devil's offspring in a bus crossing the arizona during sunset, listening to Free Bird and being chased by fighter jets.
It's better than remaking it Gus Van Sant style with the exact same angles and script. Who needs that? -
Give Bay more remakes I don't care about.
-
By Uwe Boll
-
When's that movie coming out? Seriously, this was when trailers were an art form. Brilliant. The idea of this film being remade by anyone sickens me, let alone Michael Bay. It will be another reason to piss off Wiccans (and probably the Satanists will hate it too because it will be so bad). Where's Anton LaVey when you need him?
-
pot smoking alien are you talking about the book by ira levin or the film by roman polanski, i agree with you that the idea is timeless but the film is dated not just becuase i can tell which decade it was shot in, but by the casting, the acting the writting ect... the film is no doubt a classic but in the hands of a master film maker a remake could make it more accesible to an audience that dosent look for the "subtextual horror" in a scary movie. that being said i think remaking it for the sake of remaking it is a terrible idea and handing it over to a first time feature director who's only done a couple of flashy music videos could be tragic
-
So far all of their films have been R. And besides, the ORIGINAL Rosemary's Baby could probably get a PG-13 today if not for the one brief nude scene (do it tasteful, Titanic style, and the 13 is still yours anyway!). So if you're going to slam the studio, at least give your argument some merit. If nothing else, the Dunes has been the only consistent source of R rated horror over the past 4-5 years.
-
What a great movie. Can't wait to see someone rape Polanski for a change. Right? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
-
Ridiculous. That movie is nigh perfect.

I always figure Michael Bay would have some relation to Satan
by drewlicious
But this isn't what I meant.
-
The Devil with 2 backs and this proves it!
-
Michael Bay, die and go straight to Hell you talentless hack. The very idea of Bay's name attached to Rosemary's Baby makes me wanna vomit. Besides, it DOESN'T NEED TO BE REMADE!
-
Have a fever, random thoughts: Yeah, Rosemary's and Chinatown are his classics, but for sheer ridiculous mind-fuckery I'll always turn to the Tenant. Young Isabelle Adjani, goofy Roman acting. I miss movies that have all of their credits at the opening so they just end, not giving the audience a chance to acclimate back into the real world. Nope, just a bizarre end and 'fuck you' go home. Anyway, fuck Michael Bay and his wanker company.
-
I find horror films much more effective if they slowly show you the crazy shit through effective long-takes and not jump-cut around every .5 seconds. I could have sworn I read something that said the average shot length in a Michael Bay film is 3 seconds. Makes me sick to my stomach... but that could be the fever. Let's remake chinatown with Scarlett Jojo or Jessica Biel and (i dunno) Dane Cook, with cameo appearance by Warwick Davis as the hood who slits Jake's nose. "where'd you get the midget?"
-
Peter Cullen to voice Baby. Shia La Beef as the carnie.
-
I always wanted to see devil on human sex, but all we saw was a little movement and red eyes. For some strange reason I always wondered if the devil's prick was somehow scaly and uncomfortable to the woman. Maybe Bay isn't so much of a hack that he'll have the balls to show something like that. I know, it sounds gay in a fucked up way but shit like that just pops into your mind.
-
Rosemary's Baby has already been remade, as a scifi flick. It was called The Astronaut's Wife.
-
That would be sweet.
-
I just read on Drudge that "Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes has been linked to Al-Qaeda. Apparently the company also made such hit films as, My Last Jihad, I Can't Quit You Osama, and Ayman Al Zawahri : How I Got My Prayer Forehead Bump. While these classics are readily viewed in countries like Pakistan and Iran, they have yet to reach mass appeal in the United States."
Okay Okay yes I am completely joking. And yes I am clarifying so that the pompous cunt doesn't decide to sue me. -
I am all over a new Rosemary's Baby. This should be fuckin cool.
-
Sad :(
-
waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!

Rosemary's Michael Bay-by. It's already happening.

With Bay's new self-deprecating kick, this might be good
by bitterman23
The baby is in fact, his, and the mother fears her child may be in danger of becoming just like his dad.
Note - I actually really like Bay's movies and think the guy's awesome, because I judge movies based on how well they achieve what they set out to do, not how they compare on an importance level next to Citizen Kane. -
RBINO RBINO RBINO RBINO

I was totally going to call out The Astronauts Wife.
-
... for once again proving that you are an idiot.
-
It has his fathers dick!
Wait... this was another movie from the late program. Hey Hollywood discovered remakes and comic books... wow! They are too stupid to come up with new original concepts so they do whatever they can to show us how a good old movie will be made into some new bad shit for the cell phone generation and multitasking teenagers who think a good movie has to have 1000+cuts each 10 seconds and flashing lights in all action scenes.
Where are good movies???
