Its Not That Anyone Under 18's Up After 10pm by flamingrunt	Jun 6th, 2006 03:59:34 PM

"From Producer Michael Bay" by SydBarretsMyDad	Jun 6th, 2006 04:03:51 PM
If you are trying to sell your house, and your dog took a shit in every room....you wont be able to hide the stink. I commend the people that put the trailer together for actually coming right out and advertising their shitty stink. And it looks EXACTLY like the trailer to the remake....minus the The Mortal Coil song. Which was the only good thing about that entire remakes history.
R. Lee Ermy rocks, but... by Prague23	Jun 6th, 2006 04:06:47 PM
Well, since R. Lee Ermey is in it, a far cry from his origin, in my filmography, from the outstanding role in "Full Metal Jacket,..." and since I have removed my heart from those classics that are not being raped by the capitalist, no vision hacks that are remaking those classics that scared me shitless when I saw them at my friend's house ('cuz my parents were strict..) and considering that Dennis Hopper made the 2nd movie for me, which I still find as a late night classic, but not because it takes itself seriouslly (like this one seems to...:( I'll maybe catch this if someone I know rents it and I don't have to pay for it, but seriouslly, the nice cinemtography this trailer shows hints at the lameness that was the remake,... honestly, how does that 'full moon' follow everyone thorugh the woods like that, as if there's a 20K light just behind those trees??? If you make films, you know what I'm talking about and know that this one is going to suck and not in a funny way... Sadly, I see my great films being remade and now I have to smear from my mind Nicholas Cage whenever I watch the original and great "Wicker Man.." You know, we can stop this, by simply not seeing this, and any other film that tries to ruin an original idea... but then again, I'll start buying that "Star Wars" TV show as soon as it is actually created and released on DVD prob, so I guess my high horse needs a little choppin, if I do say so myself...
TOO SOON for Harry's nephew to be up past 10pm by Doctor_Sin	Jun 6th, 2006 04:07:25 PM
Staying up late gives 'em the wangdangdoodles. Oh, and yeah - the trailer. Ummmm. Why did we even need a whole series of these films? The original is stand-alone greatness.

What's the Difference? by JaPra	Jun 6th, 2006 04:07:32 PM
Hmmm, I don't understand what separates this trailer/film from the first one. A group of kids, a seemingly abandoned house. Terror and mayhem. How is this different? How is this eerie or scary? Jaime scratches his head at Harry's Amusement of the mundane

Every Horror film headline... by vinceklortho	Jun 6th, 2006 04:13:18 PM
is a goddamm remake...guess what next trailer headline Harry is going to put up? Wicker Man trailer!!! The only original horror these days is Eli Roth, who you really have to give credit for. I mean, they are shooting Hostel 2 starting this summer, that's getting a little better, right? Oh, and I guess we can look forward to Pan's Labryinth too.
Group of kids. Abandoned house. Terror mayhem. by Doctor_Sin	Jun 6th, 2006 04:19:15 PM
Just make sure to sprinkle a few dozen fake scares in there to make it genuine. yawn Someone needs to redo TCM as a gay-leatherman musical.

I'd rather stick with www.chainsawsally.org now that's a chainsaw movie I can relate to!
Let me guess... by Doctor_Sin	Jun 6th, 2006 04:32:45 PM
Leatherface's dad owns a hardware store and is strafed by a rogue Nazi plane. The dad uses a nail gun to bring down the plane, which crashes and kills Leatherface's mom. The dad has a kid hold the nailgun and we are shown he will grow up to be the killer in The Nail Gun Massacre. Leatherface chainsaws his own father, blaming him for mom's death. One of the cops on the scene gets sick and goes home. His daughter will grow up to be Clarisse from Silence of the Lambs. Leatherface goes into hiding and finally emerges during his brother's school prom and kills everyone. One of the kids at the prom has a younger brother who becomes the killer in Prom Night. Anakin builds 3PO, some chick has a period, a car comes to life, and that "Ringu" girl gets drowned in a well half a world away. The end.
Bah, I want to see a prequel to the first two films by rev_skarekroe	Jun 6th, 2006 04:33:06 PM
There's lots of unanswered questions - where are the parents of the evil siblings from those movies? Did the grandparents of the kids from the first film not know they were living next door to a houseful of evil rednecks? What made these people cannibals in the first place? But no, we get a prequel to the not so hot remake. Ah well.
Looks like by Purgatori	Jun 6th, 2006 04:36:01 PM
the same stupid shit from the first remake. Ugh...If I wanted overly freaky hicks I'd just go back home. It looks more annoying than anything else. What was with the sonogram heartbeat? I thought for a minute the girl was going to be raped and that's how Leatherface came to be...should have known better.
So this film is directed by... by DutchFudge	Jun 6th, 2006 04:43:24 PM
...Jonathan Liebesman? Like in the guy that directed Darkness Falls? Then, I think I'll pass.

I wish Hollywood would remake some more '70s horror films. What's the chance, dya think?
Needs more R Lee Ermy by scrivener	Jun 6th, 2006 04:49:41 PM
If Ermy were to reprise his role of the sheriff, I might have thought there would be some hope for this movie. As it stands, I'm fairly certain it's going to suck.

Same movie - different kids by LilOgre	Jun 6th, 2006 05:15:15 PM
Really looks like THE EXACT SAME MOVIE. Who knows if it actually is but I bet some uninformed audience members will think that they are watching an old trailer and get pissed off. And that "amazing grace" cue at the end was LAME.
I still don't understand the pedestal... by Childe Roland	Jun 6th, 2006 05:15:15 PM
...the original TCM is set upon by horror fans (does this behavior date back to those two clowns in Summer School with an already aging Mark Harmon and a pre-pudgy Kirstie Alley?). It was a fairly low budget slasher flick with choppy editing, some piss poor performances and a downright pedestrian plot. In fact, if you're going to be true to form as a geek complaining about faithfulness to source material, TCM gets EVERYTHING wrong in translating the story of Ed Gein. Do I still watch it whenever I get a chance? Sure. But it's not sacred, by any stretch. And the remake was entertaining in its own right. Compared to the shot-for-shot Psycho remake, it was downright ingenious. You keep asking for original horror films, yet how many of those have there really been? 80% of what passes for modern horror (including TCM) have all been riffs on Blood Feast, right down to the aforementioned bad acting and sloppy editing. I'm not saying every film should be remade (like the Psycho remake, it seems the new Omen flick that opened today was wholly unnecessary and had nothing new or interesting to offer on the subject of demonic children), but if a director has what he considers a relatively fresh take on a story or a character, he or she should be allowed to give it a go. If we didn't have remakes, we'd never have gotten Carpenter's The Thing (representative of the other 20% of modern horror cinema, which is derivative in its own way). Relax boys. No one's going to burn your original TCM dvds. And you don't have to watch this movie. I liked where they took Leatherface in the remake, though, so I'll give this a shot.
This is off topic, but..... by bigbadbua	Jun 6th, 2006 05:19:38 PM
If you search Halloween on Netflix, a movie called Halloween 9, supposedly made in 2005, pops up, starring Heather Bowen and directed by Tommy Jarvis. What the hell is this? Isn't Tommy Jarvis is Corey Feldman's character from Friday the 13th IV, and also V and VI? I'm a little confused by this, so could someone tell me what is going on?
Childe - I agree but... by LilOgre	Jun 6th, 2006 05:23:43 PM
Nothing should ever be sacred to the degree that some hold things to - even TCM (nice SUMMER SCHOOL reference), but why pick on the PSYCHO remake? I think Van Sant was trying a legitimate experiment with the remake and not just trying to cash in - although Universal and Imagine probably were - and though it failed it was still interesting, at least to me. I still enjoy watching it for Christopher Doyle's fantastic cinematography. By your same rationale, no one will burn those original PSYCHO DVD's. And I'm pretty sure that PSYCHO remake will gain some kind of perverted cult status - especially if Vince Vaughn's career continues to skyrocket.
I was too specific in my example, I suppose... by Childe Roland	Jun 6th, 2006 05:35:21 PM
...LilOgre. Personally, I found the remake of Psycho to be a mildly interesting cinematic experiment (like an exercise from a talented student, but just an exercise with no real artistic fingerprint) but, overall, it didn't do anything for me the original hadn't. And I like Vaughan, but after seeing Perkins in the role, well, it was a tough act to follow. When I compared the TCM remake favorably to it, I wasn't trying to slam the Psycho remake so much as put the genuinely different take the TCM remake offered on a familiar story and characters into perspective. As a movie, I could've gone my whole life without seeing the Psycho remake and never felt I was missing anything. I didn't pick it as an example for any specific hateful reason of my own, though. I just know a lot of people feel it was unnecessary (and it seems a lot of folks feel the same way about the new Omen flick). So don't misinterperet my ambivalence for hate. I'm just kind of baffled that more folks aren't ambivalent to the TCM remake and the prequel it's spawned. They outright hate it, which is usually an indication that something deeper is going on than something not being someone's particular cup o'. Maybe they feel threatened by it? Like maybe they're afraid it will somehow supplant the original as the definitive version of the myth? I guess it's possible, seeing as how that's what happened with Carpenter's The Thing, but I find it unlikely given the hardcore fan base the original TCM has. I guess I'm just advocating a more chill, less hyper reactionary response to remake news until we have reason to believe the person doing the remaking is out to rape and pillage or, worse yet, just recover familiar territory.
NIPPLE IN PREVIEW!! by jojo-pimp	Jun 6th, 2006 05:39:05 PM
Dude, the girl on the table getting her faced wiped down by the old lady...play it in slow mo...you can CLEARLY see her exposed nipple!!!!!!
Good preview by jojo-pimp	Jun 6th, 2006 05:40:16 PM
OK..now that i pointed out the nip before anyone else.....that preview looks pretty damn decent. I know some of you are already bitching about how hollywood hasnt done anything original, and that they should have done this movie first. Regardless, this preview does look pretty damn good!! dying to see it now!

a quick doff of the cap to jojo and jrclanto... by CrumbumSnotrag	Jun 6th, 2006 06:47:07 PM
You determination and dedication to purpose has introduced me to a lovely rack not FIVE minutes after I wondered aloud, "Hmm, I wonder if that chick's been naked in anything..." You gents are what AICN is all about. Scratch that, you're what AMERICA is all about. And that's why the terrorists will never win.
He mightve done Darkness Falls.... by harosa	Jun 6th, 2006 06:47:20 PM
He mightve done Darkness Falls but he also did the Rings little mini movie that bridged 1 and 2 and that kicked ass, the true way the sequel shoudve gone.
Oh, and a thought about First posters. by CrumbumSnotrag	Jun 6th, 2006 06:50:43 PM
Just a thought: how 'bout we make the whole First poster thing a bit more sporting? If you post "First" and it turns out you're NOT first, AICN bans your IP address for a year. If you post "First" and you ARE first, you get to make out with Eli Roth for an hour...or something. I don't know. Just an idea. No ill will intended. I'm just a gambler by nature.
I agree with Crumbum - a tip of the hat to those of you by Lando Griffin	Jun 6th, 2006 06:57:25 PM
who fulfill our "Hey the chick in this movie is pretty hot, wonder if she's ever shown 'em in a flick" needs. You guys truly are heroes to the cause. I know it personally save me a lot of time. In Massawyrms Cars review I made reference to Julie Warner/Doc Hollywood and the Nostalgia Wack. I am thinking of dubbing this "wonder if she's been naked before" the Patriot Wack? Maybe the Insta-Wack? Real men of Genius Wack (a la the Budweiser commercials) Suggestions are welcome

I saw the original Chainsaw Massacre back in the 70's by Snookeroo	Jun 6th, 2006 07:01:20 PM
before I knew better. What a waste of time -- talk about a movie that NEVER deserved the kind of attention, following, sequels, prequels and remakes that this movie has. There's enough of this sick shit going on in real life, without aggrandizing it. Yeesh.
I like "Insta-Wack" by CrumbumSnotrag	Jun 6th, 2006 07:02:54 PM
Succinct. To the point. Request subliminally filed, request filled. "Insta-Wack". Nice, Lando.
The buzz is Liebsman did a good job here... by Mr. Profit	Jun 6th, 2006 07:04:58 PM
And now he's doing the Friday The 13th remake as a result. You can't blame a writer for past works that sucked. James Gunn wrote the awful Scooby Doo and turned it around with the Dawn remake. Shonda Rhimes wrote the awful Britney movie Crossroads, but just signed a deal worth 10 million to stay on with Grey's Anatomy. And didn't Akiva Goldsman write Batman and Robin and A Beautiful Mind? I liked the remake of TCM, I hope this one is just as good. Stop hating and take the remake for what it really was... TCM 5: A New Beginning.
what the?! by Mr Brownstone	Jun 6th, 2006 07:05:46 PM
I watched the ipod link... and this looks like even more of a remake than the remake.
by foreignerbelt	Jun 6th, 2006 07:11:16 PM
jrclanto you stretch the tb for a link that sucks you goddamn liar. also I've seen both the original and the remake and I thought that the spirit of what made the first one so scary remained intact throughout the remake. and jessica biel is just as hot as that blond chick from the first one. the remake was shot well and continued in the same vein as the original- gratuitous shots aside, you can't really ask more from a remake of a classic.
Looks like they listened to all the bitching.... by Mr. Profit	Jun 6th, 2006 07:25:23 PM
From the remake nazi's who bitched that the movie was nothing like the orginal. That trailer made the new movie look like a straight up remake of the 70's original. Jordana Brewster jumping through a window and being tortured at the dinner table sealed the deal. I don't care either way, you can't go in expecting a life altering experience. You can only hope it's another fun movie.
CHANGE YOUR SYSTEM CLOCK by Ayii	Jun 6th, 2006 07:50:47 PM
You can easily bypass the stupid time restrictions by changing your system clock. For all the discussion about why they did this, it's marketing. Pure marketing.
Haven't we seen this 40 times already? by RonaldLark	Jun 6th, 2006 07:54:26 PM
Young, aspiring models in the middle of nowhere terrorized by murderous hicks. It seems like every 3rd horror movie is following this stale formula. The first step toward improving the formula is to use some ugly fucking kids-----not these hot young extras from The OC that I actually hope get killed.
by Titus05	Jun 6th, 2006 08:01:05 PM
Jojo's right about the nipple slippage in the trailer...movie has the same look and feel of last year;s remake...by the way I just saw Hostel last night...now that's a horror movie...no more PG-13-rated so-called horror movies...awesome gore and graphic mutilation...that and the fact that this movie teeters on soft-core porn pretty regularly makes Hostel an instant classic..those European chicks in the movie were smokin!!....

Viking - that is exactly what I had in mind by Lando Griffin	Jun 6th, 2006 09:53:44 PM
if the Budweiser folks didn't already hold the rights to that concept we'd be rich men. Insta-Wack it is, Crumbum. From now on whenever someone mentions a movie with a hot chick in it and the rest of us want to know if she's shown here tits in a crappy direct to video 90's movie we'll just flash "Insta-Wack?" in the subject line, nothing else needs to be said. Just like flashing the Batsignal, and our horny, nerdy brethren will answer immediately...sometimes before we even ask. *Back to the topic at hand, well kinda. I have been in love with Jordana Brewster since The Faculty. Crappy movie but damn she looked sexy in the high school attire and glasses.
Surprised noone has said it yet - by Lando Griffin	Jun 6th, 2006 10:01:39 PM
"Leatherface Begins"? *** BannedOnThe Run - Back To The Hostel already has a built in, re-tooled theme song. There was a group of white rappers in the 90's from the Bay ARea called N2Deep. They had a modest hit with the song "Back To The Hotel". I would say that I doubt anyone remembers it but this is the internet and I am always surprised that someone remembers some random obscure shit like I do but its a common occurence. Anywho the song had a catchy little saxophone melody that most listeners of 90's rap will remember.

please tell me that was in fact sarcasm. I honestly can't remember the last movie that scared me, freaked me out or creeped me out. After finally watching the trailer I can safely say that this film will not do it. I have no history of being a "hater" about things on here but goddamn if that did not look like the exact same movie but with different kids/victims. There are a lot of needless, pointless movies out there and this one definetly ranks up there. However being the sucker that I am, I will probably see it.

The marketing gimick was pretty stupid by veritasses	Jun 6th, 2006 11:40:01 PM
Something I'd expect to see the idiots on "The Apprentice" to think up... not that I've seen the show since the first season. There was no "cool" factor, no mention of why it's time restricted or why it should be time restricted, and the only "buzz" about the gimick is how stupid/frustrating it is, which is something you never want to do with any product. People just want to see the f-ing trailer so just show it. This marketing "strategy" guarantees that people who wanted to see the trailer won't. MBA marketing dumb asses. The 6/6/06 release date for The Omen was a marketing gimick that at least made sense, got people talking about the movie, didn't inconvenience the public and didn't get people thinking how stupid the marketing guys are. It's just too bad it was tied to a bad movie.

Yet another move... by Darth Thoth	Jun 7th, 2006 01:28:49 AM
In the direction of a more authoritative and controlled society. We see it in government. We see it in sports. In the press. Now the MPAA is trying to do it to art with these proposed new guidelines to trailers to R rated movies. I feel you Harry. These actions will strangle creativity and neuter cinema. This is some bullcrap!
Harry, did you hear that from the MPAA or New Line? by veritasses	Jun 7th, 2006 02:03:27 AM
That line of reasoning about the 10 to 4 airing doesn't make sense at all. Not one bit. Esp since the trailer isn't even that "intense" AND it has the green band showing that it's "approved for ALL AUDIENCES" (their use of all caps, not mine) as clear as day AND it's on the f-ing internet (and not even a "family friendly" site like AOL). However, it does make sense if you got that info from New Line's Marketing group and they're just trying to cover their arses over that stupid gimick and they're trying to blame the MPAA. If it is true and it IS the MPAA coercing NewLine then sound the horns and alert the media 'cause everyone from your local politician, your typical cadre of lawyers to the news media, political talk show circuits and organizations like EFF will be ALL OVER this crock. Sounds to me though like it's New Line's cover up. I mean, what the hell is the MPAA going to do if New Line didn't follow those instructions?

If you change the time on your desktop to after 10pm, the trailer works... I'm in the UK and figured the site would work on a US time, and it wasn't (then I remembered y'all got about eight timezones anyway)... added 13hrs onto the time here now (9:30 am), and bingo, the website thinks I'm an up-late grown-up... so dumb it's beautiful...
Hahaha, i love really stupid people by BitterMan23	Jun 7th, 2006 03:25:02 AM
Saw this tonight in LA before Omen, and obviously the crowd was 99% morons because the Little Man trailer went over huge. But it was even sadder/funnier that they watched the whole Chainsaw trailer, which to me seemed mostly like scenes from the first movie, then finally realized what it was only when the damn title appeared, where a chorus of "oh snap (or shit)!" and the like echoed thru the theater. THIS is whats causing the death of cinema. People don't want to go and be annoyed for 2 hrs by morons on their cell phones and under 17 kids sneaking in with their newborns. Thank god for the Arclight (which was sold out, hence having to go to a lesser cinema) where for the most part, the more... "outspoken" part of the population stay away because of the increased price (14 dollars). Well worth it if you ask me.
"didn't Akiva Goldsman write Batman and Robin?" by tripp5	Jun 7th, 2006 07:34:15 AM

Childe good, well expressed points. by brycemonkey	Jun 7th, 2006 07:54:08 AM
I find it hard to be ambivalent though when the remake doesn't add anything. It just seems like a massive waste of time, money and effort, which ends up irritating the shit out of me.
Tripp by Mr. Profit	Jun 7th, 2006 08:26:03 AM
Hey I really liked A Beautiful Mind... But not enough to forgive his West Hollywood collaboration with Schumacker on Batman. Maybe using him was a bad example? And my friend who hates TCM saw this attached to The Omen and said people were clapping, but only after they saw R Lee Ermey. He didn't understand why people want to see this. But we also fight all the time because he thinks Scream is the best slasher film since Halloween.

Even I have to admit that the TCM movies suck. The bodycount is always low, you spend an hour watching one girl being chased around a farmhouse and half the time she gets away. And you spend all this time with characters who are only slightly more disgusting than your own relatives. Bah! Give me a good Italian slasher movie any day.
I can't believe... by DocPazuzu	Jun 7th, 2006 09:27:16 AM
... some of you people go ga-ga over Biel no matter what she shows up in and at the same time ignore the incredible hotness of Diora Baird, although granted -- we probably won't see her like this in the film: http://www.celebrity99.com/d/D iora-Baird/indexa.html

you can like a beautiful mind all you want, i know a couple of other people out there like it as well. but batman forever, batman & robin, lost in space, practical magic, a time to kill, i, robot, cinderella man and davinci? he's an A-1 hack and a half in my book. easily one of the most over-hired worst writers in america, let alone working in hollywood. makes me weep when i think he's writing I Am Legend. i fucking hate him and hope he gets crushed by his stack of books that he uses to pick his next adaptation to destroy.

Wow. The Worlds First Remake Prequel? by ZombieSolutions	Jun 7th, 2006 10:57:57 AM
please, dear god, stop it. stop it now. the remake was crap, but Jessica Biel's boobies held my interest. nevertheless, a prequel we most assuredly DO NOT NEED. just stop it. thank you.
Download the entire movie by MaryTylerMorbid	Jun 7th, 2006 11:06:01 AM
For those of you who enjoy stealing movies before they're released, a 106 min. version of the TCM prequel is all over mIRC. Looks like a pretty clean cut - so it may be close to the final version. However, it does suck balls.
ZomSol by DocPazuzu	Jun 7th, 2006 11:12:35 AM
True, it was crap and we don't need a prequel, but Baird's rack outclasses Biel's easily.

In all fairness, Doc... by Childe Roland	Jun 7th, 2006 01:35:15 PM
...it's really a different class of rack entirely. Biel had those perky little athletic bobbers with the hard-as-diamonds nipples poking through the wet T-shirt. Baird's got a bury-your-face-in-there-and-pl ay-motorboat thing going on...kind of like comparing Sugar Ray Leonard (when he was a middleweight) to George Foreman. They're different sizes and they move differently, but I wouldn't say either was necessarily better at what they did or any more fun to watch than the other.
Stop making movies, Hollywood! by MrFloppy	Jun 7th, 2006 02:37:40 PM
Every movie you'll make will "suck" here at Ain't It Cool. It's the sucksite for excellence. The funny thing is that, by reading those comments, anyone who doesn't know this site will think it's a place full of true cinefilos! XD XD Generation Suckz will destroy the world, and not the Antichrist.

From RV: Really Vaccous. You know the stupid new film from the former king of comedy Robin Williams. Anyhoo the mpaa rating said contains mild slapstick. mild slapstick, that will ahve them shaking in their shoes. MPPAA are idiots.

Yes... by DocPazuzu	Jun 7th, 2006 04:20:20 PM
...it was quite a nice description and yes, Biel does have a nice rack. Still, if I have to choose, it's the "flablablablblablablablabb" option every time.

MPAA is out of their gord by quadrupletree	Jun 7th, 2006 05:14:00 PM
There is absolutely nothing in that trailer that is any worse than any other trailer for horror genre movies these days. In fact I think there've been a lot of other horror films lately that have had scarrier trailers (Silent Hill comes to mind). Thanks for the link rollermonkey
Frankly this pisses me off not at all by BannedOnTheRun	Jun 7th, 2006 05:59:41 PM
"Forcing studios to make financially sound decisions?" Does that sound utterly ridiculous to anyone but me? Studios exist to make shitty financial decisions. If a prequel to a reimagining of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is your art project, so be it. You can make up the loss on "unrated!" DVDs with all the stuff that mean old MPAA made you take out. But if millions of adults decide to buy their familes tickets to Ice Age 2 instead, well, boo fuckin' hoo. Yeah, I know I'll get flamed, but the studios and the MPAA deserve each other.
P.S. by BannedOnTheRun	Jun 7th, 2006 06:04:12 PM
Let me amend "The Wicker Man" to my earlier post. Today's hot new topics: Halloween, The Omen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Wicker Man. I suspect I'm older than a lot of you here, but I already lived through the '70s once this lifetime, thanks.
No MPAA worries here... by smackfu	Jun 7th, 2006 09:51:56 PM

Hey producers out there, how about making a "Remake" movie in the spririt of the Scary Movies and Date Movie. Send my cut to my Swiss bank account number 34767891-98. Donations from the rest of you are welcomed as well! Thanks!
I gotta agree with quad by Lando Griffin	Jun 7th, 2006 10:44:07 PM
nothing in that trailer was different than any other horror movie trailer. Perhaps someone at New Line fucked some MPAA council members wife or something and this is their petty fucked up way of getting them back? Makes no sense right? neither does the logic or theories going on around here

Actually kinda looks more like Original TCM by chickychow	Jun 7th, 2006 11:28:25 PM
than the remake did. Seems like it has the dinner scene, more family stuff, and the girl jumping out of a window! Doesn't look bad, but I think I'll wait for the sequel, A Remake of the TCM remake: The Remakering.
It's hard to believe it's the MPAA by veritasses	Jun 8th, 2006 02:33:52 AM
since it would be an unprecedented action and would likely create a legal firestorm (free speech, censorship on the internet, etc) if true. It's completely illogical esp since the trailer has the green screen stamp of approval for all audiences. It's probably more an issue of New Line marketing making this whole thing up to cover their ass for coming up with an incredibly stupid gimick that resulted in people who actually want to see the trailer not being able to. If it IS true then the MPAA is trying to set a new standard and this needs to be challenged. Alert the media, the lawyers, the politicians and the free speech non-profit orgs. If the whole story is made up then someone at New Line needs to get canned.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz by ProfGriffin	Jun 8th, 2006 01:46:52 PM
Eh, it looks very much like the remake. Might be enjoyable...but certainly not groundbreaking or memorable. Liked a few things from the remake..(Leatherface's design for one) Speaking of ol' Bubba Sawyer...OPPS SORRY.. mean Thomas Hewlitt (HUH?) Andrew Bryniarski plays Leatherface again and this is the first time that an actor has essayed the role twice. All other Leatherfaces have been a one shot deal. (Gunnar Hansen, Bill Johnson, Robert Jacks, R.A. Mihailoff) Seems petty but look what playing a well established slasher character more than once did for Kane Hodder. (It got him left out of Freddy vs. Jason!) Hang in there Andrew...with both ARMS!
