This GHOST TOWN Is Not Harry's GHOST TOWN...It's A Different GHOST TOWN!!

First! by Marillion	Mar 27th, 2007 12:32:35 PM
I wonder if he'll look as good as Jennifer Love Hewitt?
Huh? by kbass	Mar 27th, 2007 12:36:34 PM
Harry has a movie project? How did I miss that? Can't wait for the glowing script reviews.
so it's... by Bloo	Mar 27th, 2007 12:41:21 PM
Koepp ripping off shamylan ala 6th sense but with a dentist...so it's little shop of horrors mixed with the Ghost Whisperer, mixed with Ghost, mixed with 6th Sense...and we let this man write Indy...George Steven...does he give that good of head?
since "Harry's" Ghost Town is never going to happen,.. by Windowlicker74	Mar 27th, 2007 12:43:19 PM
I'm not really considering this as news. I think most people already forgot about it and went on with their lives.
the inclusion of these two actors leads me to believe by Novaman5000	Mar 27th, 2007 12:46:39 PM
that this will be a comedy... no?
GHOSTS GOTTA EAT! by newc0253	Mar 27th, 2007 12:47:27 PM
wow, what were the odds of two film producers coming up with the title 'ghost town' independently of one another? it's gotta be at least ... four or even five to one??

Anti-dentite! he switched for the jokes! by kinghenryVIII	Mar 27th, 2007 12:51:37 PM
I hate dentists.
Why would anyone ask a dentist... by Childe Roland	Mar 27th, 2007 12:52:46 PM
...for help with anything. Isn't that like running up to the guy in the hockey mask and swinging the machete and asking him to help you jump start your car?
Umm Harry is it a surprise? by DannyOcean01	Mar 27th, 2007 12:53:14 PM
While your film seems to gestate for a million years, other people actually give birth...
I'm thinking the main difference... by CerebralAssassin	Mar 27th, 2007 12:57:40 PM
...between this and Harry's film is that this one will actually get made.
this project was announced years ago by HEADGEEK	Mar 27th, 2007 12:58:52 PM
As for mine... It is, by no means, dead. Got meetings on it today in fact... as I move. ARGH!
Actually, Koepp already remade "The Sixth Sense" by number5withabullet	Mar 27th, 2007 01:00:25 PM
It was called "Stir of Echoes". Only it didn't have a kid.... or Bruce Willis. And you didn't have many steps to go in the Kevin Bacon game.
Re-name it... by The Dum Guy	Mar 27th, 2007 01:23:05 PM
Just call Harry's movie "Harry's Ghost Town". I'm not sure if it'll work, but if it's a hit you could have more movies with the word "Harry's" preceeding the title.
Comedic Frighteners? by chrth	Mar 27th, 2007 01:25:57 PM

Didn't you just move about a year ago? I fucking hate moving, I moved, and helped my then GF/now Wife move 4 times last year...twice within a 2 month period! Runnin' from The Man ain't easy! Hope we see the words "Aint It Cool Production" soon!
This town is coming like a ghost town. by rev_skarekroe	Mar 27th, 2007 01:33:04 PM
All the clubs have been closed down!
Tell me about it Merrick by purplemonkeydw	Mar 27th, 2007 01:39:58 PM
I was so pissed when Spiderman came out. Since then I've been racking my brain on what to title my movie about a man who raises radioactive spiders. Oh, and the twist is, if you get bit by one of those spiders, you get all of their abilities.
Can we have more scary ghost movies, please? by Doctor_Sin	Mar 27th, 2007 01:42:40 PM
Because this kinda crap makes my penis shrivel.
lmao, Upside Down Johnson . . . by underscore_only	Mar 27th, 2007 02:51:03 PM
That is all . . .
WE NEED A TALKBACK TO DISCUSS CHRISTOPHER LEE'S ALBUM!! by Frijole	Mar 27th, 2007 02:54:33 PM
Yes... Oh yes. Just released. http://cdbaby.com/cd/chr istoph erleemusic Oh my god... this is something ELSE!!! You haven't lived until you've heard his rendition of "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'"...
Messi by ELGordo	Mar 27th, 2007 02:56:37 PM
Harry Knowle's Ghost town already ate. A shit load. I kid, I kid.
This will probably have... by skycrapper	Mar 27th, 2007 03:03:41 PM
all the stupid things they put in horror movies now...a creepy kid, some stop motion ghosts/zombie stuff, some torture porn and let us not forget a character that "sees dead people". Big pile of meh...
This project sounds uniquely awful by TheSeeker7	Mar 27th, 2007 03:12:06 PM
And dude, David Koepp doing a romantic comedy? And what especially cracks me up is I've seen Gervais say in interviews that he enjoys having the freedom now to say yes ONLY to the projects he really wants to do, that apparently in the wake of The Office he's been offered a ton of simple movie roles and turned them down. So.. ehh... THIS is the kinda thing you've been waiting for, Ricky? eeek.
But c'mon though... by BGDAWES	Mar 27th, 2007 03:19:16 PM
It's so much fun to poke fun at Big Red and Mori because their responses are more amusing than the insults. I forget what Drew said exactly but it was something simple like, "So far this week I've been called an assbag, fucknose, dickhole, and penus-face." and when Harry 'thanked' us in TB for basically forcing him to show his Blade 2 review to Yoko because of us, that was classic! In the end though, I agree with you more power to both of them that they actually 'work' for the industry rather than 'talk' about it like most of us all. With all that said, at least let us call them fuckwads and assknobs from time to time as long as it's all in fun. I actually blame Mori and Harry for being so witty, if it weren't for their hilarious retorts I wouldn't feel compelled to be immature and insulting.
This has been done how many times...? by Darksider	Mar 27th, 2007 03:45:55 PM
Who fucking cares? I've got a hole in my back yard you can throw that money into.
M.Night Shamalan Presents Harry's Ghost Town! by kravmaguffin	Mar 27th, 2007 03:47:53 PM
Directed by Michael Bay... Starring Carrot Top as Harry... Also Starring Hugo Weaving as the voice of Harry... With an extended cameo by M.Night himself... Coming soon..er or later to a theat..er dvd soon! gfy
It's a romantic comedy. by Novaman5000	Mar 27th, 2007 03:55:45 PM
Not horror.
HEADGEEKS GOTTA EAT! by BillyPilgrim	Mar 27th, 2007 04:16:38 PM
You know you wanted it. But now I feel dirty.
Yeah, I've been awaiting it Harry for years!! by LHombreSiniestro	Mar 27th, 2007 04:37:08 PM
GEEZ!!
Reminds me of The Woods and The Village by Rupee88	Mar 27th, 2007 04:56:12 PM

Is it about ghost cowboys? by Douche Baggins	Mar 27th, 2007 05:02:52 PM
nothing's scarier than ghost cowboys. Clint Eastwood wouldn't need make-up. "The Good, The Bad & The Dead"!!!
Harry's would probably be renamed... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 27th, 2007 05:35:36 PM
"Ghost Town" is an uninteresting title anyway. Come up with another one, Harry. Ask your friends or associates who have read your screenplay what they think would be a good alternate title. Many times the original author of a script (or novel) picks the worst title.
Has anyone said "Apparition Boondocks" yet? by SkeletonParty	Mar 27th, 2007 05:54:46 PM
or how about "Hamlet Hamlet"?
Ricky Gervais by Bungion Boy	Mar 27th, 2007 06:05:43 PM
I've heard that after The Office he turned down dozens of projects, some that became huge hits like Pirates... But this film he has to do? I don't know. Sounds pretty rotten. And neither he nor GK are really known for thrillers. Will this be funny? I don't think I can get behind this. I'll just patiently wait for Stardust.
Good one by feckdrinkarse	Mar 27th, 2007 06:07:24 PM
"Harry has a movie project? How did I miss that? Can't wait for the glowing script reviews." I got it...:-)))
Moriority's Grindhouse review by Quake II	Mar 27th, 2007 07:22:41 PM
that he was going to post saturday...then sunday morning...then sunday night....then monday morning....It takes what, 15 minutes to type a movie review.....
Heart and Souls, The Sixth Sense, that TV show with by chiahead	Mar 27th, 2007 07:51:01 PM
Jeff Goldblum...
Harry didn't write the script for his movie... by Alonzo Mosely	Mar 27th, 2007 08:43:37 PM
He is trying to produce it, not write it, although if I remember correctly he was involved in coming up with the basic premise... If I am wrong I am sure I will be corrected...
Y'know, Quake... by TheRealMoriarty	Mar 27th, 2007 10:51:26 PM
... if it only took "15 minutes" to "type" a movie review, it would probably be a "piece of shit." As it is, I may wait until I see it a second time on Friday before I write about it. We'll see.
East mori easy... by Frank Duckett	Mar 28th, 2007 12:40:25 AM
lets all just calm down around here...
Well, I know I wait breathlessly... by Son of Batman	Mar 28th, 2007 01:52:30 AM
for Harry and Moriarty to textually fellate Tarantino and Rodriguez. Let's get it over with, already. You plants.
Ghost Town is a terrible title... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 28th, 2007 02:41:17 AM
Regardless of whether Harry picked the title, and regardless of this different movie to star Ricky Gervais, the title sounds generic. Is Harry's version an Old West horror? Well, "Ghost Town" doesn't describe that kind of movie well at all. Hell, it doesn't describe this Ricky Gervais vehicle well either.
Oh, the irony by Franklin T Marmoset	Mar 28th, 2007 02:52:33 AM
A dentist who dies briefly during dental surgery? That is fucking genius right there. To make full use of the premise, the dead people our hero talks to should only want help with their teeth - bridge work, root canals and suchlike. Imagine the side-splitting, uproarious laughs as generic comedy actor #19 attempts to practice dentistry on ghosts! Brilliant! Also, dentists are not in films enough. Not since that LA Law guy in The Dentist (also, The Dentist 2) have we had a good one.
A little visit on the IMDB by Mr. Graboid	Mar 28th, 2007 02:55:37 AM
tells us that Harry isn't exactly the first one to pick that title. So why the bitching about it?
So long as... by MonkeyManReturns	Mar 28th, 2007 03:54:57 AM
...Lyndsay Lohan isn't in it - I'll give it a go. I despise Lyndsay Lohan...she is not pretty...has no talent...and is a drunken hussy drug addict...in my opinion...damn all Americans who made her famous...why is she working when there is so much talent out there?? AND this movie will be nonsense...a comedy of errors...the error being why it was made. I am in a bad mood now.
IMDB lists another to-be-released GHOST TOWN... by Jim Jam Bongs	Mar 28th, 2007 05:56:55 AM
There's one listed that is set for release on November this year. It's a western, but I didn't see Harry's name listed in the production credits. Maybe this movie will undergo a name change, or maybe the Ricky Gervais version will. But the fact that there are three movie projects using this title, all within just a year apart, should be proof enough that the title GHOST TOWN sucks. All three projects should come up with new titles.
So wait, he's a dentist by CTU Mole	Mar 28th, 2007 08:05:37 AM
who dies during dental surgery? Was he performing surgery or was the dentist also getting dental surgery done? I'm confused already.
I still have faith by kilik777	Mar 28th, 2007 09:23:33 AM
Dont listen to all the naysayers Harry, I cant wait till your projects finally roll out. Im sure they will still hate on you even in your successes. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
it'll be a hundred times better than harry's ghost town by wolvenom	Mar 28th, 2007 10:05:21 AM
that's for sure....critics are good at being critics but when they venture into the realm of filmmaking they will find that they suck balls.
I second FRIJOLE!!! by CarmillaVonDoom	Mar 28th, 2007 10:18:29 AM
Man, just LISTEN to this CD!!!! It is absolutely completely impossible to sum up in mere words. 'The Impossible Dream' has to be heard to be believed.
Quake II by Sinisterjim	Mar 28th, 2007 10:59:09 AM
"It takes what, 15 minutes to type a movie review" WOW!!! are you a complete retard? seriously, I'm not trying to ba an ass, are you? That's quite insulting to the craft of writing...while not a critic, I do write an occasional review on my lame blog, I certainly don't spend as much time and thought as I should, but it's more than 15min. I'm working at making a movie the middle of this year, directing is my dream, and I'm as far from a writer as you can get, I illustrate, do graphic design...I constantly struggle writing my script...there is far, far more thought behind the final word's we all see written.
Mark my words, at Harry's film meeting by Daddylonghead	Mar 28th, 2007 12:23:05 PM
Harry will UNLEASH COSMPIC POWER In all seriousness, I'm the kind of fanboy that would watch any movie Harry made, no matter what the subject or quality... so obivously I'm eager to see it happen.
Sinisterjim...You silly boy...... by Quake II	Mar 28th, 2007 05:43:37 PM
Yeah stud...I'm a retard as you put it so politely. I have a MySpace site FILLED with underground movie reviews. About 40. Takes me about 15 minutes to write one. They are light in tone and well worded (for a retard that is. Hang on, I just drooled on my keyboard). But I type fast. I want a real Grindhouse review. Cumpston's was fun and entertaining but now I want real details.
This happened to me! by Pete Soot	Mar 28th, 2007 09:51:43 PM
accept it was a routine bikini wax.
Attention everyone: Harry is moving. by thebearovingian	Mar 28th, 2007 11:11:43 PM
Understood. Moving sucks. You're an adult male. Get over it.
