Neil Marshall And Sam Raimi Are Gonna BURST (In 3-D)!!
Merrick here...
Earlier this week we saw some images from Neil Marshall's yet to be released CENTURION (HERE). Although that title is still making its way to screens, Marshall's already setting his sights on his next project - a 3-D movie called BURST.
Ghost House partners Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert will produce, and Nathan Kahane will be executive producer. Script is written by Gary Dauberman.
A group of stranded travelers meet during a blizzard and get stalked by a malevolent force that makes people spontaneously combust.
...says Variety HERE.
While completely unrelated to BURST, here's a look at the making of Marshall's CENTURION (didn't get incorporated into our article a few days ago).

too bad it's a ghost house movie, though
-
seriously, it is a gimmick that adds almost nothing but $3 to my bill when I walk into the theater.If Avatar, which is completely designed for 3D, further makes 3D look like a gimick I'm giving up on the technology
-
I'm there!

Great for Marshall. He needs some good people behind him.
by juansanchez
And not in a gay way.
-
...until they crack home television with 3-D sets that don't require glasses. Until then, anything marketed as 3D is automatically less interesting than normal film. Avatar, I'm looking atchoo.
-
....Avatar, I'm NOT looking atchoo come cinema release day. As for Neil, Dog Soldiers and Descent were awesome. Looking forward to his centurian pic. As to anything after I'm 3D, call me close minded, call me a cinematic bigot, call me shortsighted, call me an enormously well endowed love god if you must - but I'm still not checking it out til it's a DVD rental. And I'm not using those fucking stupid glasses. So it's all lost on me, lost I tells ya! Now fuck off. You kids and your 3D.
-
We're in a transition. In a few decodes, it will be routine; in a few more, young people will refuse to watch a movie that isn't 3d.

Liquid metal guy that flows into your body than turns into spikes? Everything is better with spikes and I never got while liquid metal guys would fight conventionally.

3D glasses are not my favorite, but these all show in 2D
by juansanchez
as well.
-
Like I said, if they upgrade the tech so we don't need glasses, I can see it happening. Until then, nope.
-
Before I know we are doomed.

Juan - yep they all show in 2 D as well. Which makes the 3D....
by hint_of_smegma
....you guessed it, a gimmick. Plus even knowing a film is also in 3D has a deleterious effect for many potential viewers - they won't even bother with it in 2D because of it. Count me as one of them.
-
to make it a visually interesting movie with or without the 3D. Other filmmakers - not so much.
-
Seems so anyway, people bitch about it everywhere. Yes it sucks more balls than Pam Anderson's chin has ever seen, but it was only one misstep. That said, going the 3D route is not a good move to repair his rep. Hopefully his centurian flick will mitigate it - bring his stock up before the 3D fall, so to speak.
-
then it isn't really "spontaneous" combustion, is it? And this sounds like more retarded garbage...what happened to "Sacrilege", Marshall's Lovecraftian Western? Now THAT sounded promising...
-
as are dog soldiers and the descent. over the last decade, neil marshall has earned a spot in my list of favorite directors. i want centurion and i want burst. 2d, 3d, who the fuck cares. its a team up with marshall and raimi. the potential is so obvious that negative talkback should be banned. maybe this will give marshall a chance to direct a spider-man film. how cool would that be.
-
Its a gimmick! Bring mono back!
-
Was Rhona Mitra's ass. Dear god, has there ever been a tighter and perkier sight on the silver screen? The rest of the movie was crap. I thought Dog Soldiers was hit and miss. Though I did have a geekgasm over Descent
-
Better than it use to be, but still not necessary. It always seems to mute the screen. I saw Up twice in the theater, once in 3D and once without on a digital screen. The non-3D version was crisp and vibrant while the 3-D version's colors were muted.
-
Hate to say it myself but Doomsday was terrible and the only good part of it was Rhona Mitra's ass in spandex. I won't slag Marshall off fir the movie, as I've said it was his only misstep so far so he's earned a lot of credit as far as I'm concerned, but 'Burst' in 3D is a worrying direction. I'm hoping he goe back to the Lovecraftien western myself, too.
-
Like a biography of her ass with interviews with her ass and stuff?
-
...and eating shit makes you breath smell sweet!
-
Numerous live action stunts. The plot is regoddamndiculous, but I LOVE live action stunts in movies. And Doomsday has a plenty. Rhona Mitra's ass isn't bad either.
-
that's good enough to make me want to watch it. Doomsday sucked though. Huge disappointment coming from this director.
-
That girl is super fuckin' sexy.
-
I'm always behind on these things.

... if they went supernatural with the disappearance of the Ninth Legion. I don't really care to watch a Roman army being ambushed and then fighting for two hours.
-
they're just playing it close to the vest.
-
that I like Dominic West less and less every time he opens his mouth and Macnulty doesn't come out of it.
-
on canal film channel in spanish tv and utterly utterly hoorible.

i read this script a couple of weeks back and was pretty interested by the wacked out randomness of the violence, but the characters are like shells of characters. just a bunch of dipshits who argue about the insane situation in front of them as if someone might actually come up with a good reason why everyone is exploding.
hopefully with marshall attached, the script will get a proper re-write to atleast make me give a slight shit about the exploding rednecks. -

I don't have problems with lack of color in 3D movies
by nasty in the pasty
Coraline, Up and Monsters vs. Aliens all looked spectacular in 3D.
-
is like sugar to the eyes its so fucking colorful...the 3d glasses didnt seem like they took any of the color out.
-
Because Dog Soldiers and The Descent were just that good. You'd think Uwe Boll directed Doomsday with how bad people bashed it, but I think it stems more from disappointment in Marshall taking a misstep after two awesome movies. Doomsday is hit and miss, yeah, but it's not this unwatchable piece of shit everyone seems to make it out to be.
-
"They blow'd up good, blow'd up real good!" "May the Good Lord take a liking to ya and blow you up real soon!"
-
Drag Me to Hell rocked. http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/
-
Why in the hell they didn't cast Olga Kurylenko as the Black Widow.
-
I prefer Marshall to work from his own scripts and it's rare to find a good Sam Raimi produced film.
-
Valentines Day in 3d was only good because it was 3D. Cloudy with a Chance was awesome in 3D. I tend to go more out of my way if a movie is offered in 3D. I know it's a gimmick, but count me in as a supporter of the format.
-
it's body part flying at ya the mutherfucking movie in 3-MF'N-D.

What if instead of exploding they get massive explosive shart
by thepilgrim
spews. The rest of the group is forced to leave each victim for obvious reasons. Sorta the same much more disgusting. Could be in smellovision as well. fuck it lets really piss on this 3d trend and milk it right. They can do a viral camp just like PA. I can see it now nightvision audience trailer with the characters screaming and farting/sharting in terror with the audience puking and barfing and holding their noses while cover their faces as the 3d shart juice comes at them. Gallagher shows up for the win killing the shart attack monster with a sledge-o-matic. the audience is surprised by shat colored squib like spewers attached to the seats in front of them. each ticket comes with a plastic bag to cover yourself with.
-
DOOMSDAY is, in fact "...this unwatchable piece of shit everyone seems to make it out to be." You have been corrected, sir.
-
The 'silver' screen does add to the contrast a little and it is great seeing digitally projected non-3D stuff in those theaters, but the filter in front of the projector and then the glasses you use remove 50%-75% of the light coming from the projector. Basically to get you a satisfactory level of light you need a projector with a much more powerful lamp than 'normal', and guess how many theaters are going to do that?Add onto that problems with ghosting and you are basically talking about a subpar movie viewing experience in general.Although if a filmmaker wanted me to see a movie in 3D and designed their movie for 3D I'm not going to go see it in 2D. At least not on first viewing.
-
The second exclamation point means this movie doesn't fuck around.
-
Don't let The Descent be just a fluke.
-
The only credible (horror) genre director; DOG SOLIDERS is a certified sleeper (premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel! Knew it couldn't be an in-house production ). THE DESCENT is an undiluted classic (a bit flawed but far superior to the Zombie bilge, remakes, et al. See [only] the British, unedited release w/ the ORIGINAL ending). Marshall and Stuart Gordon are the Horror Cinema's genuine auteurs--accept no imtations.
-
My problem with 3D is there is so much disconnect between the viewer and the movie, at least for me. By wearing the glasses I'm much more aware of watching a movie than normal. Maybe it's just me but it interferes with my ability to just get lost in what is one screen. And until they perfect 3D without needed peripherals, it's just not going to catch on at home either. Most people do other things while watching TV or movies. Dealing with glasses at the same time? Not happening. Will go the way of Divx and laser disc through lack of interest. Just watch.
-
I've been watching 3D movies in the same theater for over a year, and it seems that each movie shows an incremental increase in the brightness and color. Saw the 2 toy stories last week and they were as bright and as crisp 'n clear as you could possibly imagine. Some of the movies that were released a year or two ago did suffer from some wash-out, but I think the filmmakers are fixing that with newer releases. I don't blame it on the theater or the screen...I've only seen 3d in my one local theater. I don't understand all the 3D hating on these talkbacks. I want to see all of my films in 3D now. I'm looking forward to Cinema Verite style films shot in 3D.
-
Wait until you can watch NFL games at home in 3D...that will pull it in to the mainstream.
-
It was better than the Descent. It also would have been very lame without the 3d.
-
I hope they convert Blade Runner into 3D...I would pay to see that.
-
Didn't die because of lack of interest. It was lack of funds and the rise of DVD. LD's were big and expensive. DVD's were small and affordable. Fuck you.
-
will this be nasty, wet explosions (i.e., bursts) or fiery? it really does matter, and frank votes for the former
-
Made me think of the action scenes in the Private Gladiator porn series. Dumb Eurosmutter doing Ridley on a fistful of Euros.
-
Hardly. That's why it had an almost 25 year run. And if it weren't for LD fans embracing the lesser expensive DVD over VHS, DVD might have taken much longer to gain acceptance. Bottom line retailer did not like carrying LD because of shipping and displays costs. VHS and DVD were more attractive and profitable. And if it weren't for many of the special edition carry overs from LD, DVD would likely just be VHS 2.0. It was the LD fanatics and their/our relentless pursuit of the best it can be home theater performance that has led to the home theater boom. Whether you like 3-D or not it's going to be around for a
while. With the BO numbers that have been put up recently by films like FD 3-D it's hard to argue against it whether you like the idea or not.
