We need a western. Any western.
BALE DAMMIT!!! by THE KNIGHT	Jun 15th, 2007 10:49:35 PM
YOU ALL KNOW CHRISTIAN BALE DESERVES HIS OWN CATCH PHRASE AROUND HERE!!! BALE DAMMIT!!!
Damn Nice by movieman742	Jun 15th, 2007 10:57:27 PM
That was a pretty cool trailer. Bale is fucking awesome in about anything he does.
another useless remake by kingink123	Jun 15th, 2007 11:07:22 PM
You can't replace Glenn Ford. And Christian Bale is WAAAAYYYY too young to stand in for Van Heflin. And shooting in color kills the noir atmosphere that made the original so interesting. Expanding the story to involve extra characters and overstating character motivations through needless added dialog weakens the tense nature of the original. I'll pass.
Speaking about Westerns... by speakingof	Jun 15th, 2007 11:11:14 PM
Have any of you heard about the Dub Taylor documentary? His son Matt did stunt doubles for 3:10. http://www.thatdub.com/
AND alan tudyk? by BadMrWonka	Jun 15th, 2007 11:11:22 PM
jesus christ...this looks amazing...and from an IM, no less...aint it cool news indeed...
kingink123 by BadMrWonka	Jun 15th, 2007 11:14:29 PM

W O W finally a good western again by pipergates	Jun 15th, 2007 11:17:57 PM
its been ages
it looks amazing, that was one hellof a trailer by pipergates	Jun 15th, 2007 11:37:50 PM
it was worth waiting for. who says we dont have any major classy actors anymore? just that most of them these days aint american...
maximus versus bruce wayne, man! by pipergates	Jun 15th, 2007 11:43:05 PM
oh yes. ranma, youre right, those two are good quasi-westerns. but this is the real thing.
ranma by BadMrWonka	Jun 15th, 2007 11:47:17 PM
I love your enthusiasm, but those 2 were not "westerns" in the traditional sense of the word. here's the wiki word on it...not saying that's the LAST word, but just so you know what I mean...3:10 to Yuma certainly fits these criteria: "Westerns are usually set in the Western United States during the period from about 1860 to the end of the so-called "Indian Wars" at Wounded Knee in 1890. Some westerns incorporate the American Civil War. The genre has expanded its focus to include films about the Battle of the Alamo in 1836; and the Mexican Revolution as late as 1920. Additionally, the Western genre has been adapted to the historical and mythological circumstances of other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Russia and even fictional space colonies. An important characteristic of Westerns is the portrayal of modes of existence perceived as primitive and obsolete giving way to modern counterparts, usually through a symbolic confrontation between characters. In the early stages of the Western continuity, this manifests as a conflict between natives and settlers or cavalry. In later stages, ranchers, settlers and gunslingers may be threatened by the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the pressures exerted by big business, and the centralization of political power in urban centers. Whatever stage of history the Western is representing, the thrust is consistently towards the subordination of nature, the domination of collective over individual values, and the emergence of the modern state."
p.s. by BadMrWonka	Jun 15th, 2007 11:50:35 PM
in the case of this film...the idea of justice...sacrifice of the individual for the common good, etc. etc. man, I am a little drunk...just got a great career notice, and I'm celebrating in LA even though I know no one and have no social livfe. so I jsut made $10,000, and I'm as happy as can be, and the only people I have to share it with are some champagne and AICN. that's didnt' even make sense. at least I'm still getting the paragrahps right.
BadMrWonka by THE KNIGHT	Jun 16th, 2007 12:02:02 AM
CONGRATS BRO...! How about we buy you a beer, and you can cheet on my wife!
another nice trailer. by tnt23789	Jun 16th, 2007 12:03:19 AM
they sure whisper alot in the old western
Who's the badass by supersize	Jun 16th, 2007 12:11:55 AM
Is that Ben Foster?
Looks Like It Might Be Good by Rebeck3	Jun 16th, 2007 12:13:12 AM
But Kingink123 is right: Glenn Ford was one cool motherfucker in the original. I'm not sure Russell has enough of the wicked gleam in his eye. Also, I suggest anyone who wants to feel some real suspense not see the original first because it's definitely going to end with the same "twist".
The Badass by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 16th, 2007 12:24:36 AM
That would be Alan Tudyk. Looks good to me. Remake? I care not when it comes to Westerns, I'm in. And western or not, The Proposition was tight. I mean it, that film was top drawer.
Alan Tudyk by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 16th, 2007 12:27:51 AM
That is him, right? The guy with the beard wrecking shop in the town? Or is that Ben Foster? Help guys.
NOW THAT LOOKS LIKE A FINE FUCKING FILM by Turd Furgeson	Jun 16th, 2007 12:31:01 AM
Boy does that look good! Christian Bale is on a fucking role right now... He's picking good films and seems to be pushing himself as an actor... I like it!
Put Me...... by spiderwalk007	Jun 16th, 2007 12:32:35 AM
on that train. I like the look and feel of this remake.
it's Alan Tudyk... by BadMrWonka	Jun 16th, 2007 12:33:31 AM
for sure...look it up on IMDB KNIGHT, you can buy me a beer anytime, brother...I'm celebrating because a script I wrote just got bought. my agent tells me (and I swear I believe it) that it will probably never see the light of day, or the light of cinema, but I DON'T CARE!!! I'm getting 50 grand because someoen thought my scrreenplay MIGHT someday make a good movie! and I get to shoot a decent movie in mexico next month... life is good...
It's Ben Foster by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 16th, 2007 12:36:56 AM
sorry, I'm a sucker.
Ben Foster by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 16th, 2007 12:40:34 AM
http://tinyurl.com/yv6gza If you pause the trailer when Bale is walking out of the building, Alan Tudyk is waking behind with eyeglasses looking rather daper and like his Doc character. Sorry I jumped the gun. BadMrWonka - Congrats man. I mean that. I'd buy you a shot and a brew. I don't even know you, but I'm friendly like that.
walking behind him by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 16th, 2007 12:41:31 AM
not waking. Surprised I didn't type wanking....
BadMrWonka by Willie Conway	Jun 16th, 2007 12:42:03 AM
Nothing else to say but congrats! Always good to hear some folks are making it. Keep up the good life!
BALE DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!! by wackybantha	Jun 16th, 2007 12:44:17 AM
YEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
the good life, lol by BadMrWonka	Jun 16th, 2007 12:53:41 AM
trust me, the good life is a ways off... I love movies, and as much as I hate hollyood, I love it just as much... as horibble as it sounds, I think of hollywwood as a gros uncle that molests me...but gives me an orgasm every time... I've ben wriuting and directing shorts, trying to get something noticeds, and nothing has worked. but thids script, written in between other ventures that I thought were more important, seems to have latched on... so we'll see how it turns out. bottom line...my apartment is tiny, and studio-ish, and costs 700 bucks a month. LA sucks. if something comes from this, great...but I'm not holding my disenfranchised breath...
BadMrWonka by THE KNIGHT	Jun 16th, 2007 01:03:01 AM
Yea, to hell what your agent says! You'd think they'd be more positive for that 10% he or she is getting! Just don't begin to snort coke off hookers asses like AICN's favorite director! I don't even have to mention the his name!
BALE, CROWE, FONDA by ImFixingtoDie	Jun 16th, 2007 01:03:04 AM
Nuff said.
I shouldn't say nothing has been noticed by BadMrWonka	Jun 16th, 2007 01:03:37 AM

I like Henri by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 16th, 2007 01:10:22 AM
nice
So its the plot from S.W.A.T. set in old west? by Mike_D	Jun 16th, 2007 01:15:49 AM
I'll still see it.
IT'S A MINUTE TOO LONG... by CopOnTheEdge	Jun 16th, 2007 01:19:38 AM
WAY too much sturm and drang and wasted dialogue, just keep it quick, gives us the tease -- machismo, guns, big shootout, boom, we're out. Remember the Unforgiven trailer? Short, to the point, ends with "You just shot an unarmed man." "He should have armed himself." And that was it. Clint, Hackman, old west, bad-ass, showdown, done. Too much here, I say, too much, I'm bored. Outtie.
God, Ben Foster looks so freaking evil by Bagheera	Jun 16th, 2007 02:07:36 AM
I love it.
The author that hollywood rarely credits... by limpl0uie	Jun 16th, 2007 02:19:09 AM
First off, badass trailer indeed. Secondly, I think people should recognize the great author of the short story this film is based on. the one and only Elmore Leonard. He's written the novels that have been the basis for a lot of great movies. The Big Bounce, Be Cool...umm actually scratch that...make it: Get shorty, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown, Hombre and of course, the original 3:10 to Yuma. The guys' a hell of a writer.
Hell Yeah... by Crimson King	Jun 16th, 2007 02:37:50 AM
This movie does look badass. And I've been wanting to see the original since before I knew this one was coming out. I hadn't realized it was based on the work of Elmore Leonard. But yeah, I don't think there have been many good westerns lately. It's too late for me to think clearly right now, but I can't remember a good western since Unforgiven...I guess there's an argument for Tombstone, but that's about it.
I wish Alan Tudyck had been in Knocked Up more. by Barry Egan	Jun 16th, 2007 03:00:04 AM
His 2 scenes are brilliant.
Too much info in the trailer by DonRivella	Jun 16th, 2007 03:30:22 AM
Looks like my kind of movie, but it seems to reveal way too much in the trailer (even if this is a remake). A preview should not be a short movie.
Christian Bale gives me a non-gay chubby by Bobo_Vision	Jun 16th, 2007 04:46:27 AM
A film chubby.
Always good to see Alan Tudyk get work... by Killah_Mate	Jun 16th, 2007 04:47:20 AM
...and Ben Foster is unbelievable. I'm seeing this. (Plus of course Crowe and Bale :-) ) It's just a shame that Tudyk is again playing a goody-two-shoes, I'd have liked to have seen him go all bad apple. I'm sure one day when he does, it's gonna be awesome.
This would probably be better... by Vicenzo	Jun 16th, 2007 05:45:26 AM
...If Bale and Crowe swapped roles.
Yup. I'll have some of that by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 16th, 2007 06:36:31 AM
Thank you
High Noon by nikkishiver	Jun 16th, 2007 06:46:54 AM
This looks a lot like the old High Noon premise except in reverse. Instead of waiting for the bad guys to come in on a train, he's escorting the bad guy. Only one man will stand up for what's right. Looks like a lot of fun. I'm in.
Looks good by slfricky	Jun 16th, 2007 06:51:53 AM
though I laughed at Bale's first line, done in a total Eastwood Voice.
Mike_D by mr. brownstone	Jun 16th, 2007 07:10:29 AM
You realize this is a remake of a movie from 1957? I think it's safe to say S.W.A.T. lifted their story from that.
Vicenzo by mr. brownstone	Jun 16th, 2007 07:12:43 AM
i have a feeling you may be right... but remember how effective Henry Fonda was playing against type in Once Upon A Time In The West. He made a fucking terrifying villain. But the footage of Crowe in this trailer makes him seem like more of a charming rogue. Hope he does something in the picture that makes you hate, hate, hate him.
Westerns are one of my least favourite genres... by DirkD13"	Jun 16th, 2007 07:54:38 AM
...but that looks funking sweet, really funking sweet! (Sorry, I just got my Hot Fuzz DVD).
This fuckin looks hardcore! by TheLawyerKobayashi	Jun 16th, 2007 08:48:29 AM
I am a huge fan of Westerns from High Noon to Sergio Leone and the "Man w/ no name" Westerns. I have been really hoping for a legit western. Granted I loved Unforgiven, Open Range and Tombstone, and TV's Deadwood... I was really lookin for something more.... If the movie looks like thr Trailer.... THIS IS GONNA BE FUCKING AWESOME. Great casting of Crowe and Bale... especially Ben Foster who looks fuckin nuts with the pistols.
Bale rocks by viranth	Jun 16th, 2007 09:00:03 AM
Gez, this guy has so much cool he looks Crowe look like a schoolgirl! Looks like a good match too, but Bale will definately steal the light from Crowe.
Bale would surely be scarier as the bad guy by pipergates	Jun 16th, 2007 10:35:58 AM
good idea Vicenzo.
Agree with Dirk: Westerns are usually boring. by CreasyBear	Jun 16th, 2007 11:04:11 AM
Too dusty. Too brown. But the trailer borrows some of the Man on Fire score, so someone's making good choices. I just don't know if great actors can make up for all the things I hate about the Western genre. It's not the reliance on formula and cliche`s, really. I love all the trappings of the heist movie genre.
Two words: Elmore. Leonard by Elvis Cole Lives	Jun 16th, 2007 11:50:30 AM
Need I say more? Of course, limpl0uie already said 'em, but they bear repeating. This flick is looking to quickly join Tombstone, Open Range, Unforgiven, Magnificent Seven, and The Searchers on my greatest Western DVDs shelf! Shit, this things got me as pumped as ANYTHING this summer!
A Western Zombie flick by liljuniorbrown	Jun 16th, 2007 12:53:48 PM
I'd pay to see that show. Two of my favorite genre's. Anyways this looks awesome. Crowe knows what he's doing and Bale is awesome. With lines like "As sure as God's vengance they're coming" damn right.
Crowe THE QUICK AND THE DEAD style! by DanDelion	Jun 16th, 2007 01:08:10 PM
MORE BADASS GUNFIGHTING? I'm fucking there. The Proposition was good and all, and those cowboys taking it up the ass got people hot and bothered, but I want another good exciting balls to the wall western! This looks to be it!
Hail the Bale! by FILMFUNK	Jun 16th, 2007 01:23:59 PM
the guys a ledge! Harsh Times and The Prestige were made awesome by the power of Bale Skull.
I once had dinner with Bale and his Dad by DirkD13"	Jun 16th, 2007 01:47:59 PM
I am not shitting you either, it was in Brompton Ralph (a tiny hamlet in Somerset) and his dad worked with my friend's dad. It was either '88 or'89 and he had not long done Empire Of The Sun. I really thought he was cool, not because he'd been in a movie, but because he was just cool, plain and simple. If I ever meet him again (unlikely as it is) I will ask him if he remembers shooting BB guns at rabbits with a couple of little shits!! Tryst me, he'll go down as one of the greatest of all time. He hasn't used the same accent twice as yet (untill the Dark Knight of course).
CreasyBear by DirkD13"	Jun 16th, 2007 01:49:22 PM
I thought I was gonna get lynched for that statement! As much as I dislike Westerns, I LOVE Tony Scott movies (even Domino).
I will be there the day this comes out. by krushjudgement	Jun 16th, 2007 01:54:35 PM
Anyone notice Alan Tudyk? Looks like he has some acting chops.
This movie looks very promising. by Imagikafan	Jun 16th, 2007 03:16:34 PM
I wasn't thrilled when I first heard they were going to remake this classic. Glenn Ford and Van Heflin are great in the original. However, I'm really looking forward to the new film now that I've seen the cast and the new trailer.
BadMrWonka by Munro Kelly	Jun 16th, 2007 05:25:03 PM
That's Great news. I wish you and the project well. Good luck, bro.
OY! IM RUSSAL CROWE by gride9000	Jun 16th, 2007 06:11:40 PM

Tombstone by PCH Boy	Jun 16th, 2007 06:43:34 PM
Was the greatest Western of all time.
Nice by The Artist FKA Vesuvio	Jun 16th, 2007 07:24:32 PM
Now a Red Dead Revolver trilogy please.
Josh Holloway as Red by The Artist FKA Vesuvio	Jun 16th, 2007 07:27:21 PM
Cameron Diaz as Annie and Jason Isaacs as Jack Swift, please. C'mon, otherwise it'll be Prince of Persia all over the place next couple of years.
This looks damn great. by playboater18	Jun 16th, 2007 07:45:41 PM
This looks damn great. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe = Gold. Also for that matter, Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington in American Gangster = Oscar Gold. :P
i would like to take christian bale by occula	Jun 16th, 2007 08:59:59 PM
and distill him into an essence and then drink it, puke it up and then drink it again. does that make me a fucked up kinda girl? and when is he gonna get 'academy award winner' in front of his title card? it always feels like unfair play when great actors don't have the flair on their card next to the dudes who do in the same film. i mean, jesus, ben affleck gets to have 'academy award winner' on his.
ps, wonka by occula	Jun 16th, 2007 09:00:50 PM
big ups to you! remember us all as mere rungs on your climb up the ladder of fame.
Looks like Carrizo Springs South Texas to me Mori by Deus Vult	Jun 16th, 2007 10:41:36 PM
In fact I'd enjoy it if you and Harry meet me down there tomorrow at noon for a gun fight. Harry will know the way down 35 from Austin...
Worth a second look by MediaNerd	Jun 16th, 2007 11:09:45 PM
Usually I'm opposed to remakes, but I think this one will be appropriate. The original was decent, but I kept feeling they could push it further, but played it safe. Definetly a lot of room to explore in the story. Hopefully something like this will expose the young'uns to a western as its a solid genre that has been forgotten and cliched.
I'm happy to see a western coming out soon. by Neck Boy	Jun 17th, 2007 12:01:42 AM
This genre is ripe for rediscovery by some of the exciting young filmmakers working today. I'd like to see Mira Nair and Darren Aronofsky each do one. And Edgar Wright for shits and giggles.
Mr. Mangold, THANK YOU!!! by Susilawati	Jun 17th, 2007 07:44:40 AM
Oh man, there is GOD after all! Mr. Mangold, come here and lemme give u some big smooches! WOOOHOOO!! The trailer is AWESOME!! Crowe + Bale = INFERNO. Super HOT!! Crowe looks deliciously BAAAADD, baby! Can't wait to see the scene of him with that bar girl. Yummy!! And Bale is so damn sexy. Yeeaahh!! I'm so into this movie. Do I have to wait till October??! Damn!!
Neck Boy by DirkD13"	Jun 17th, 2007 09:14:25 AM
Edgar Wright already did a Western (or rather a South-Western) comedy called "A Fistful Of Fingers". It is available on VHS but is hard to get hold of.
Hell yes by Cobbio	Jun 17th, 2007 09:27:51 AM
I liked the look and feel of it. Looks brutal and uncompromising, with some great actors, so hell, I'm there. After the performances Mangold pulled out of Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix in "Walk the Line", I'm excited to see what he pulls out of far more accomplished actors like Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. Should be intense.
BALE DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!! by jojo-pimp	Jun 17th, 2007 10:48:01 AM
Nuff said!!
I just watched the original not too long ago... by The Dum Guy	Jun 17th, 2007 04:01:03 PM
And this does seem to look like it's going to be a bit different, but that's a good thing. Good trailer, only thing is Bale does seem a bit too young to play his part... & Congrats to Wonka, mind telling us what the premise of the script is?
Looks great by Lornsorrow	Jun 17th, 2007 06:04:21 PM
It may not turn out to be one of the greatest westerns ever, but it looks like it will be pretty damn good. We have a ways to go still till we get westerns as good as The Wild Bunch, Red Sun, Jeremiah Johnson, etc.
The problem with movies about the West and war... by Bronx Cheer	Jun 17th, 2007 09:07:35 PM
usually, the key historical figures were all fairly young. So even though you might strive for authenticity, by casting actors of Bale's age you're actually going against history. War movies especially...many of the actors are in their late 20s early 30s yet most soldiers are much younger.
