One Missed Call director:Eric Valette? by eggbeater	Jul 27th, 2007 11:23:10 PM
Has anyone seen his other film Maléfique? Just wondering if it's any good. That movie supposedly got him the job as director for One Missed Call
missed it by that much... by jimmy rabbitte	Jul 27th, 2007 11:23:33 PM
... not really, but c'mon... I had to say it..
Hmmm...why I will by Red Ned Lynch	Jul 27th, 2007 11:47:25 PM
probably be waiting for video on Whiteout: "Not so much in this one where they were filming in places 30 degrees below freezing and always had on five layers. In her parka she didn't quite get the same reaction from the crew." Just saying.
And... by Red Ned Lynch	Jul 27th, 2007 11:49:44 PM
Shannyn Sossamon and Ed Byrnes in the One Missed Call remake. I take it for a given that the movie will be an artistic failure, but still find some amusement in the fact that it has been cast so perfectly with leads whose very presence screams flop.
I CAN"T WAIT FOR THIS!! by bob oblaw	Jul 28th, 2007 12:02:05 AM
yeah.
Ring Tone! by Tio Miguel	Jul 28th, 2007 12:21:37 AM
Quint...if you go here and jump through a few hoops, you can get an mp3 of the One Missed Call ringtone. It was recorded directly off the movie. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F YL706U7

I'm there.
Terry Crews is in Get Smart!? by DerLanghaarige	Jul 28th, 2007 01:36:04 AM
Damn, that guy makes me laugh all the time!

Hope they updated the script a bit. The comic is basically how it was down here 20 years ago. Things have changed a lot. We typically have about 30% women, not just 1 or 2.
Ed Burns? Wow, desperate. by reflecto	Jul 28th, 2007 02:05:37 AM
One Missed Call cannot work as a remake unless it has been severely overhauled by, say, Tony Kushner or something. The original Miike film itself was, IMHO, something of a mild satire of the J-horror genre, and did not have a narrative that stood up to that much scrutiny - though I really liked it. The cast sounds lame.
Shannyn Sossamon by CeefaxTheCat	Jul 28th, 2007 03:52:50 AM
No pictures? bah
This is going to be absolutely awesome. by elohel	Jul 28th, 2007 05:36:57 AM
yes
I'd sleep with Kate Beckinsale if I had too by TheBloop	Jul 28th, 2007 05:57:43 AM
And she would like it. oh and Ed Burn = Bill Pullman. They both suck the life out of any film they are in. God Damn Life Suckers they are.
Terry Crews is hilarious. by brokentusk	Jul 28th, 2007 06:39:01 AM
Totally agree DerLanghaarige, that guy kills me... even in WHITE CHICKS. WHITE CHICKS I tell you!
Agent 13 Cameo should be Pierce Brosnan by Zoolander	Jul 28th, 2007 09:17:22 AM
That would be the biggest laugh IMO.
graphic novel vs. comic by Bouncy X	Jul 29th, 2007 12:00:43 PM
well usually when people say graphic novel, they mean a one shot story told in one big book. and comics usually refer to an ongoing (usually monthly) series. so if whiteout isnt an ongoing series then it probably is a graphic novel. now there is the one exception, some are 3-9 issue mini series that are eventually put together as one so in this case i guess technically it be both. lol
Whiteout by Antz	Jul 29th, 2007 03:31:04 PM
Yes, I thought it was a great comic, he got most of the feel of the place pretty good, but even when it was written it was very dated as to how things are on the Ice now. The only military personnel are basically the Airforce during the summer for the flights in and out, there are about 30% women, quite a few married couples, full (private) phone / internet facilities etc, sexual harrasment is no different than any other workplace, and is treated the same. A murder in Antarctica would be a huge international incident, there would be a whole team of investigators, and there is no way they would close the station for winter until it was sorted out. If they have to, they can keep flying in for an extra couple of months. Incidentally it is the NSF Station Manager (the highest ranking person down here) who is also a deputized US Marshal, just in case some sort of official law enforcement is required. It pretty much never is though.
Dominic Sena sucks by doodler	Jul 30th, 2007 06:14:32 PM
and if Ed Burns is your SciFi star, everyone else turned it down (Sound of Thunder, anyone)?
one missed call = ring ripoff by doodler	Jul 30th, 2007 06:15:22 PM
variation on a theme....
