Craven wants son of Hopper for 25/8!

Absolutely! by lokiboy101	Mar 31st, 2008 02:01:04 AM
I have a lot of faith in Craven! I call bullshit on his "co-writing" credit for Hills Have Eyes 2 and say that he let his son write the screenplay alone in three weeks. But anyway, this one should be good.
Shareeka Epps! by unionJACKass.webs.com	Mar 31st, 2008 02:04:45 AM
What a great talent. She more than held her own with Ryan Gosling in HALF NELSON. I look forward to seeing her in this.
Dennis Hopper has kids? by DerLanghaarige	Mar 31st, 2008 02:09:51 AM

I agree, Craven is amazingly hit or miss by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 31st, 2008 02:15:35 AM
He has his classics(Nightmare 1, 3(yeah I know he only wrote it) & New Nightmare). He has his misses(Red Eye, Scream 3), and he has his movies that do both(People Under the Stairs, Scream 1 & 2).

"... going after young teenagers" by drompter	Mar 31st, 2008 03:20:11 AM
I had a dream, that some day horror movies will start to cast adults again, and that only then they might recover the glory of the past, when horror movies were worth watching.
Son of Hopper should be his real name by messi	Mar 31st, 2008 03:48:50 AM
Just thinking about it. Dennis Hopper is one of the all time greats.
Craven has way bigger misses than Red Eye. by Gwai Lo	Mar 31st, 2008 03:57:33 AM
Hills Have Eyes 2? Vampire in Brooklyn? Probably most of his films that I haven't yet seen? He has some seminal hits, but even the most noteworthy of these (Last House on the Left, Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street) are more noteworthy for their impact on the genre over their actual quality. Scream might be his most accomplished film, but it hasn't weathered its imitators very well. I also like New Nightmare, but it's not spectacular or anything. I respect Wes Craven and all, I just don't think he's upper echelon when it comes to horror directors. I still think he has some good films left in him though, maybe even another classic, he is quite good at capturing the horror zeitgeist when he tries.
drompter - Watch The Mist by messi	Mar 31st, 2008 03:59:17 AM
There's an adult horror movie with actual vision. Hiring the camera crew from The Shield, godlike.
People Under the Stairs by The Amazing G	Mar 31st, 2008 05:15:40 AM
is one of the most underrated horror movies ever
There was a guy called Denzel Whitaker by filmcoyote	Mar 31st, 2008 05:33:17 AM
is Great Debaters? I film starring Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker! Bizarre
Young teenagers? by filmcoyote	Mar 31st, 2008 05:36:20 AM
Epps is 17/18 and Whitaker is nearly 18, don't know about Hopper, but surely young teens means 13-14 year olds not 17-18 year olds. How is someone 18 months off 20 a "young teen"?
Young Teenagers as Teenagers? by Yeti	Mar 31st, 2008 06:37:38 AM
OMG - You mean he's going to forgo a 24 year old starlet with a boob-job playing the sisteen yearold girl next door? Yeah that'll fly.
I liked RED EYE... by Roguewriter	Mar 31st, 2008 06:52:19 AM
But then, I could happily sit and watch Rachel McAdams floss her gums for 90 minutes, too.
Wow, they cast Denzel Whitaker! by Nice Marmot	Mar 31st, 2008 07:26:24 AM
Now if they could only land Brad Clooney and Julia Witherspoon . . .
I was hoping this was about a bugs life sequel by judge dredds fresh undies	Mar 31st, 2008 08:05:19 AM

A horror movie about someone fucking pigs by performingmonkey	Mar 31st, 2008 08:48:36 AM
That's what I want to see.
Isn't Dennis Hopper like 80? by Captain Justice	Mar 31st, 2008 09:25:01 AM
He has a teenage son? The man was in Rebel without a Cause for fucks sake. He's out lived 99% of Hollywood already. He should have a teenage great grand son.
Sorry...he's only 71 by Captain Justice	Mar 31st, 2008 09:26:06 AM
only
Son of Hopper by Herb West	Mar 31st, 2008 09:45:53 AM
That could be a horror movie in itself.
the kid looks 13 by kafka07	Mar 31st, 2008 10:19:41 AM
damn those smooth old actors who can hook up with much younger fertile women.
how bout... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 31st, 2008 11:50:28 AM
...a slasher movie goin after the elderly? I mean COME ON, thats gold right there...the killer could be bout to kill a old geezer, then BOOM, the geezer has a stroke and dies...
Ahole Ramirez by Gwai Lo	Mar 31st, 2008 02:10:14 PM
That's a tad bit like Bubba Ho-Tep, but you could spin it. Just watch out or you may end up making Cocoon.
RED EYE is a flaming shitpiece by Kurzinski Valentine	Mar 31st, 2008 04:16:51 PM

People Under the Stairs by Pondscum	Mar 31st, 2008 07:02:42 PM
Was indeed one of the most underrated horror films ever made. It dealt with child abuse, racial inequality, social inequality, religious hypocrisy and it featured a gimp suit a full 3 years before Pulp Fiction. On top of that, it actually had genuine scary moments, which is rare in contemporary horror. Unfortunately, 'The Craven's' latest project sounds like a Nightmare / Scream re-hash, so I'm not optimistic.
And it had incestual overtones by Pondscum	Mar 31st, 2008 07:05:46 PM
How could I forget that.
Great. Sylvester and Rob McKimson'll be glad to hear the news. by TomBodet	Mar 31st, 2008 07:39:14 PM
Hippity Hopper hasn't been much in demand of late-them there Giant Meeces make for pretty cool Slasher villains if I do sez so meself.
Craving for some Craven by Stengah	Mar 31st, 2008 10:12:46 PM
Alliterations aside, Wes Criven has some mad skillz yo. Definately pumped for this shit.
I liked Red Eye too by The Amazing G	Mar 31st, 2008 10:51:54 PM
yup
