So this is the remake?
Ever heard of a movie called Runaway Train?!? by vettebro	Jun 7th, 2007 10:53:49 PM
Hellooooooo...
I loved Casino Royale and Goldeneye by kikuchiyoboy	Jun 7th, 2007 10:54:23 PM
but his other stuff just seems to just be merely be by the numbers.

Hey I made a first! by kikuchiyoboy	Jun 7th, 2007 10:56:45 PM
And yet I'm still an unmarried fool. Go figure. =) I need to print that and laminate that. I hear chicks dig that more then Michael Bays golden locks.
Yeah, with Jon Voight by wadi77	Jun 7th, 2007 10:56:47 PM
They should announce this as remake.
Eric Roberts hand get's crushed in that film. by kikuchiyoboy	Jun 7th, 2007 10:58:37 PM
I thought Kurosawa directed that?
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH CHARLIE THE CHOO-CHOO by tehgreekhammer	Jun 7th, 2007 10:59:20 PM
He says myspace.com is for 14 year old girls and perverts.
Based on Akira Kurosawa' screenplay. by wadi77	Jun 7th, 2007 11:02:17 PM

Campbell's Mask Of Zorro was MAGNIFICENT by Osmosis Jones	Jun 7th, 2007 11:08:58 PM
And The Legend Of Zorro was underrated.
Quint's right... by limpl0uie	Jun 7th, 2007 11:15:13 PM
The first thing I thought when I read the description was a film set in the old west...don't know why...
Suicide Mission? by ThisIsTheCaptainSpeaking	Jun 7th, 2007 11:15:23 PM
What if the question here is whether you would board a train to pre-emptively (sp?) detonate a bomb (nuclear or otherwise) to stop terrorists from killing whole cities, even though you (Mr. Good Guy) would kill everyone on the train, including yourself, in the process?
This sounds like a hell of a lot of fun by zillabeast	Jun 7th, 2007 11:19:49 PM
Good old fashioned, unrealistic fun! Can't beat it! :)
Will there be zombies? by Archduke_Chocula	Jun 7th, 2007 11:21:27 PM
I just assume there will be.
I guess this rules out him directing Bond 22 by Forestal	Jun 7th, 2007 11:24:38 PM
Oh well. Hopes its Marc Forster then.
SILVER STREAK = SNAKES ON A TRAIN by Pound Sand	Jun 7th, 2007 11:25:44 PM
Somebody call Steven Seagal. And Vern.
Like that movie? by Z 008	Jun 7th, 2007 11:27:21 PM
About a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."
They should remake "On The Right Track" by kikuchiyoboy	Jun 7th, 2007 11:27:53 PM
with Andy Serkis as Gary Coleman.
THE RUNAWAY POLAR EXPRESS meets SPEED by Pound Sand	Jun 7th, 2007 11:32:23 PM
minus the spooky CGI
Where the fuck is.. by nolan bautista	Jun 7th, 2007 11:36:08 PM
..Eric 'they took my thumb' Roberts?
Walter B killed Harry's phone by ZupDog	Jun 7th, 2007 11:38:59 PM
Where the heck is part 2 of the questions?
Walter B is at the Son of Rambow TB by kikuchiyoboy	Jun 7th, 2007 11:41:48 PM
Check it out. It's exploding.
It'll suck by Bob of the Shire	Jun 7th, 2007 11:50:13 PM
I used my patented MovieSense(tm). I love Casino Royale and Goldeneye, but foresee dull things coming from this project.
Atomic Train by Dr Dischord	Jun 8th, 2007 12:09:22 AM
There's no way it can be worse than Atomic Train.
Two Words.... Vertical Limit.. ouch.. by Greigy Just Wanted To Say	Jun 8th, 2007 12:23:35 AM
Apart from the 2 bonds and the FIRST Zorro flick he's got a very ropey C.V. He's no Eli Roth..! He does have lots of MySpace Friends tho..
MANNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY by OGREISHERE	Jun 8th, 2007 12:26:50 AM
Nuff Said
Runaway train movies jumped the shark ALREADY! by Cinemajerk	Jun 8th, 2007 12:27:32 AM
Gimme a break. Why even greenlight this project unless its being shot for the sci fi channel. I GUARANTEE this will lose money at the box office. I don't care WHO is directing or WHO is staring in it. Runaway train movies are SO cliche. Everything that could be done on a train HAS been done on a train. BORING. I think Rob Lowe's ATOMIC TRAIN was the moment when runaway train movies jumped the shark. NEXT!
EMPEROR OF THE NORTH POLE starring Peter North by godoffireinhell	Jun 8th, 2007 12:29:57 AM
You'll believe a man can cum buckets.
Is it true that Mark Forster is doing Bond? by Barry Egan	Jun 8th, 2007 12:39:09 AM
That's an interesting choice if it's true. Sony has totally taken control of the franchise.
Runaway Silver Streak Train Part 2 - Cruise Control by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 8th, 2007 01:00:56 AM
The guys at Fox...well, are there guys at all? Or do they have stupid trainees (no pun intended) only? That would also explain PG-13 Die Hard and the crappy AvP movie.
Isn't that EMPEROR OF THE NORTH.... Sans 'pole'? by Flim_	Jun 8th, 2007 01:23:42 AM
Yes, I believe it is. And that is a WICKED movie. Best movie about hobos and trains, ever.
im on mushrooms right now by i kick tits	Jun 8th, 2007 02:35:27 AM
wowowoowowow fucking bacteria
Flim_ by Sheeld	Jun 8th, 2007 03:37:58 AM
It was originally titled Emperor of the North Pole, later got renamed. Sounds a lot better without the Pole tho. Great movie nonetheless, just like Runaway Train.
i Kn0e DaT by i kick tits	Jun 8th, 2007 04:18:45 AM
i know that MAN but like fucking bacteria is just like what life is and shit- can you dig it. fucking hammocks are so rad, if i had more than 0 dollars i'd buy one. you bet your sweet ass id buy one what you got to say bout that
"He's no Eli Roth" by Ray Gamma	Jun 8th, 2007 04:31:31 AM
did somebody actually type that? jesus christ
Thought it was the Unbreakable Sequel by slfricky	Jun 8th, 2007 04:32:04 AM
Damn.
Quint by Quintus_Arrius	Jun 8th, 2007 05:16:53 AM
You on crack man?
Campbell's a hack by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 8th, 2007 06:35:18 AM
Very bland director.
I just got off the phone with Eddie Bunker... by Sledge Hammer	Jun 8th, 2007 06:41:54 AM
He's still dead. Runaway Train still rocks on though.
Good director by WolfmanNards	Jun 8th, 2007 07:14:18 AM
Martin Campbell directed the last 2 good bonds. Casino Royale and Goldeneye. He should be forced to direct every bond until he dies. I don't want to the bond series to get shitty again.
Live Free of Die Flaccid by Spandau Belly	Jun 8th, 2007 07:47:02 AM
I know I'm seeing Transformers that weekend.
Solution! by Spazwankle	Jun 8th, 2007 07:49:23 AM
Take a helicopter and land on the train. Disaster solved
Forget UNSTOPPABLE, Martin! Go back for Bond 22! by SpyGuy	Jun 8th, 2007 07:53:17 AM
CASINO ROYALE was my favorite flick of 2006 and GOLDENEYE is right up there on the top Bond flicks as well. While I felt LEGEND OF ZORRO was a bit flat at times (the swordfights ruled, though), THE MASK OF ZORRO is a really great movie.
Sounds like Speed 3 by trombone	Jun 8th, 2007 08:00:15 AM
they could put a bus on the train, like they do in the Chunnel. Bring back Keanu and the not-so-sexy Sandra Bullock.
I'm going to Hell for watching CASINO ROYALE by SpyGuy	Jun 8th, 2007 08:15:00 AM
At least, according to these lovely people... http://www.capalert.com/cap reports/casinoroyale.htm Good thing I lost my soul to the pits of Hell for one of the best Bond flicks in decades. Totally worth it.
Wasn't that the plot of Under Siege 2? by ZoeFan	Jun 8th, 2007 08:35:05 AM
And didn't that movie suck?
They Need to Make a Movie Called "Unbeatable" by Aquatarkusman	Jun 8th, 2007 08:42:26 AM
Starring Hakeem Olajuwon, of course
Jon Voight? by palewook	Jun 8th, 2007 08:55:47 AM
is going to make a cameo
I left my jag in Kansas City by Faust_8	Jun 8th, 2007 09:46:27 AM
Will someone fall off the train and get back on numerous times ? Put shoe polish and their face to sneak on the train ?
Even Vertical Limit by Saluki	Jun 8th, 2007 09:52:38 AM
Was watchable. Campbell knows his stuff!
I married Casino Royale. by Diagnostic	Jun 8th, 2007 10:01:55 AM
I loved it so much.
Good grief... by metaluna	Jun 8th, 2007 10:10:08 AM
Just how many times has this plot device been done to death! Give it up already.
Runaway train is one of best movies ever by 9banned0.5furious	Jun 8th, 2007 11:59:03 AM
and Camus would be proud of the existencialism on display troughout. Everything rules in this movie. Its Voight who looses hand/fingers. The most insane thing of all is that it was produced by Golan-Globus, who did nothing even remotely meaninfull or of that leve ever. It redeems their whole company. I am fuckin` tired of horrible news where I can only post complaints and such. I WANT GOOD NEWS SO I CAN POST POSITIVE POSTS!!! Im am not Ranken!!! This are one of the worst weeks for cinema in a decade.
Speed? by FarSky	Jun 8th, 2007 12:33:18 PM
I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldnt Slow Down."
Martin Campbell... by FlorenZO	Jun 8th, 2007 01:36:23 PM
...should make films more often.
RUNAWAY TRAIN is the bomb by Spacesheik	Jun 8th, 2007 01:54:05 PM
Excellent friggin' film - amazing performances and action. Director Andrei Konchalowski went from that to TANGO AND CASH (dont ask).
Will Charo and Helen Hayes appear as well? by Spacesheik	Jun 8th, 2007 01:56:55 PM
Id buy that for a dollar.
If adventure has a name, it's Martin Campbell by The8thSamurai	Jun 8th, 2007 03:47:10 PM
The guy is an over the top badass. Just watch Vertical Limit. Best action comedy almost ever. BTW where's Chris O'Donnell's comeback?
Why RUNAWAY TRAIN MOVIES SUCK by tailhook	Jun 8th, 2007 08:22:19 PM
So implausible. First.. the only true runaway train is one in which the train was going too fast for the downhill grade it was on. In such a situation... what happens is when the Westinghouse Air Brakes throw they don't stop the train because the mass of the train will simply drive the train down the mountain with the heat melting both the brakes and rail and tearing up every piece of track on the way down until it reaches a curve and thats that. The problem is most movies have a 'runaway train' on an even grade. The problem there is the Westinghouse Air Brakes are designed to be forced open by power and in their normal state be closed. So simply cutting the power connection between any two cars will throw the brakes and they will bring the train to a stop over a relatively short time. But hey.. we all know that Eric Roberts and Jon Voight have to get to the engine to stop the train... right? rolls eyes
Vertical Limit by tailhook	Jun 8th, 2007 08:24:40 PM
I actually didn't mind that movie.. saw it on cable a couple days ago and was mildly surprised.
The pitch at Fox... by Spacesheik	Jun 9th, 2007 03:43:57 AM
"Listen, we have a script, a slambang actioner, a cross between CASSANDRA CROSSING, but without the bubonic plague, SILVER STREAK, without the comedy and NARROW MARGIN, but without the female hitlady, with some Seagal love, UNDER SEIGE II thrown in, and some of the manic brutality and edge of RUNAWAY TRAIN, without the convicts, and EMPEROR OF THE NORTH POLE, minus the period Depression setting and Ernest Borgnine's hammer. It's called UNSTOPPABLE" That's assuming that the idiot Fox business school executives understood the movie references...
Looks cool by SpencerTrilby	Jun 9th, 2007 04:31:22 AM
But Mark Bomback writing? WTF?
Oh, and on a footnote.... I'm a Bond fan by SpencerTrilby	Jun 9th, 2007 04:32:37 AM
so everything Martin Campbell directs is a go. Bomback or not.
I'm a Bond fan also... by football	Jun 9th, 2007 05:52:21 AM
... but I'd have prefered Campbell to have picked up where he left off with Bond 22 and not this lame runaway train thing.
Indiana Jones and the Case of the Runaway Hemmoroids by ZupDog	Jun 9th, 2007 06:58:45 PM
