No Gort!! No "Klaatu Barada Nikto"!! Uncapie Goes Postal On THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL Remake Script!!

Reeves is the robot, right? by Stalin vs Predator	Apr 9th, 2008 08:19:11 AM
I know they're made of metal rather than wood, but still... And still he is.
Oh dear... by drwilliamweir	Apr 9th, 2008 08:20:40 AM
Uncapie is correct. There's so much untapped potential - why forever remake everything? Rendezvous with Rama is begging to be done. Fox - pull you goddamn heads out of your arses and get on it. Maybe then you'll have a classic to sell well into the future when these "rehashes" will fall to the wayside and into DVD bargain bins mere months after release...
fuck Hollywood in the mouth! by Skankardly	Apr 9th, 2008 08:22:07 AM

My goodness, this sounds stupid. by 433	Apr 9th, 2008 08:22:55 AM
Why not just rename the fucking thing?
What is the point? by neoaddix	Apr 9th, 2008 08:23:02 AM
Agree totally with the latter sentiments in the review. There is absolutely no point in remaking this film.
Yawn by ragunax	Apr 9th, 2008 08:23:03 AM
I bet we will see the following garbage in this movie: Token Black guy, hot women who think Klaatu is sexy and mention they want his babies, a Bum with lines, the "I just got to town for the first time" G-rated person, a preggo, tough guy low-life who mutters: "Welcome to Earf" or "No one messes with MY town!". Just toss in the Real World crew, some emo band talking about leaving on the mothership to Emo-anus, etc.
Ridiculous by PantherMatt	Apr 9th, 2008 08:23:26 AM
What a waste. Keanu should have been cast as Gort, and costumed in a big metal suit, just like the original. That's more fitting for him. Anyway, I'll save my $12, and wait for something decent to come out
Wow, can you get any more didactic? by rbatty024	Apr 9th, 2008 08:25:53 AM
This sounds like a complete waste. Way to underestimate your audience's intelligence (although, judging by what makes money the audience isn't helping any).
So....this is the best they can do? by Neil Peart	Apr 9th, 2008 08:30:13 AM
It's one thing to put a message about being environmentally responsible in a movie, but to become so obsessed with environmentalism that you absolutely wreck a classic is just unconscionably horrible. While I agree it would be nice if Hollywood would adapt some classic novels into feature films, I don't know if it would be such a good idea because they'd just butcher them, too.
New Original Sci Fi please..not more fucking remakes by quantize	Apr 9th, 2008 08:30:44 AM
really..fuck the hell off hollywood
Let me get this right, by jae683	Apr 9th, 2008 08:31:11 AM
they've got the obligatory Iraq War commentary, the Global Warming commentary, and the Violant Games commentary in one film? Brilliant! Now, where's Ule Boll when you need him.
Sounds fucking horrible. by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 9th, 2008 08:33:45 AM
It almost seems like they left out "klaatu barada nikto" to give us 'geeks' something to get all upset about (like flames on optimus), and distract us from the fact that the rest of the movie is still a fucking piece of garbage.
This sounds weak... by codymr	Apr 9th, 2008 08:34:38 AM
Uncapie is right why not make Rendezvous With Rama, Childhood's End or Ender's Game. Or if they MUST remake something, do a proper version of Starship Troopers... That Verhoven version was crummy.
Oh, and UnCapie ... by jae683	Apr 9th, 2008 08:35:17 AM
I agree with you a 100%. They shouldn't call it Day the Earth Stood still, just like they shouldn't have called I am Legend, I Am Legend. But that's aother argument.
Hollywood Genocide by McFlyWalker	Apr 9th, 2008 08:37:09 AM
I agree with the comments about studio's feeling the need to push out remakes, especially when There's so much quality material out there! What puzzles me, is that the studio's haven't latched onto the fact that there remakes are generally naff & discount much of the original idea's. Whether it's the French being responsible for Godzilla or War of the Worlds without Martian's, the studio's are getting it wrong. As for Keanu in this, i'm guessing that his stand out scene will involve a dumbstruck look & the immortal line 'Woh!'

Remakes are safe... by rkhalloran	Apr 9th, 2008 08:51:48 AM
The reason you don't see new material is that the studios are so scared of losing money they'd rather dust off a classic and fsck it up in a remake than take a chance on original material. Idiots...
I like the Twilight Zones flip on it better. by jae683	Apr 9th, 2008 08:53:43 AM
Aliens come down and accuse the world governments of having a 'small talent for war.' All the governments rush to sigh peace treaties only to realize the aliens appreciated or war like tendancies instead and nuke the planet because we're too 'peaceful.'

ATTACK OF THE REMAKE GESTAPO!!! by dr sauch	Apr 9th, 2008 09:04:24 AM
Uncappie, for shame. You're stirring up the shit! "What was wrong with the original that would merit a remake" is the single most irresponsible statement on remakes I've ever heard. Something has to be "wrong" with a movie to warrant a remake? Isn't the point of a remake to capture and re-interpret what is RIGHT with a movie? You people and your goddamn blind hatred of all remakes. They're gonna get made, nothing will change that, you might as well be optimistic. Further, the argument that 76ing all remakes would free up money for original work is baseless and you all know it. If theres one thing Hollywood will never run out of, it's money. If the film warrants getting made, it WILL get made, no matter what else is in the pipe. Stop with the remake hate, and wait for the final product.
Forge Of God... by TroutMaskReplicant	Apr 9th, 2008 09:05:24 AM
And Anvil Of Stars strike me more as miniseries, to be honest. Rama is in the pipeline. Ender's Game's problem is Card himself, he's an disagreeable old man. But with all the cgi flying around these days everything is becoming ripe for adaptation. The question is will they be any good?

the environmental thing is stupid by Judge Briggs	Apr 9th, 2008 09:07:31 AM
it should be electing Bush and dealing with his aftermath of the past 8 years.... 'people of Earth, we've come to stop you from electing such dumbasses... it is your dumbass-selves that is putting the earth in jeopardy!"
Farewell to the Master by VideoVorlon	Apr 9th, 2008 09:09:26 AM
Was the original short story by Harry bates, on which the movie was based. They should have used it as a template for this remake. In it, the robot turns out to be the master.
This makes very little sense. by justgetreal	Apr 9th, 2008 09:10:01 AM
In the original, Klaatu was absolutely emotionless, so I can see where Keanu Reeves could possibly pull that off. But Gort is an iconic character, a large part of why the original was so good. Even all these years later, they should make him look exactly the same, glowing eye and all. And what about the flying saucer? That thing looked cool as hell. We don't need no stinking energy spheres. If you're going to remake it, at least make it to look like the original.

Pity the poor studio shareholders... by DirkBelig	Apr 9th, 2008 09:26:34 AM
...who are watching their investments decline as the extreme liberal studio heads burn thru tens of millions of dollars making anti-Bush/anti-war/anti-Americ an that audiences will not pay their hard-earned money to see. "In the Valley of Elah", "Rendition", "Redacted", "Lions For Lambs", and "Stop-Loss" have all BOMBED harder than a suicidal Islamofascist and the parade of liberal propaganda keeps coming. Isn't it enough that the WaHACKski Bros. ruined "V For Vendetta" and "The Invasion" by cramming in their Bush/America-hatred? Now "TDTESS" is going to change everything to make the mortal threat to mankind ManBearPig?!? WTF?!? If people want to see unbrided Bush and America hatred, they can flip on Keith Olbermann for FREE instead of paying top dollar to be lectured at by some hypocrites who take their private jets to their million-dollar vacation homes in Aspen. That Hollywood is so detached from their audiences is stunning, but they're all about reinforcing their ultra-leftist peer group's views, not dealing in reality and certainly not entertaining and/or enlightening anymore.
GORT/GNUT is the The Master... by JohnnyDeath	Apr 9th, 2008 09:27:52 AM
The only possible reason to remake this would be to make it closer to the short story, not to distance it further. The Original Robewrt Wise film is a masterpiece, as is the short story Farewell to the Master. Read the story then watch the original. Killdozer, now there is a movie to be remade with Keanu.
Useless Review by unclebusu	Apr 9th, 2008 09:34:16 AM
This site is good about 60% of the time. This review though is totally useless. Why even write something if you have no intention of trying to give even a remotely impartial review? I'm not defending this remake. It can and will suck balls. Still, haven't you been around long enough to have gained the ability to analyze something on its own without doing a frame for frame comparison?

Anyone remember when this studio stood for GOOD quality sci-fi films? Star Wars? Alien? First ID4, then AvP: Requiem, and now this? They should take a cue from Lucas' playbook and his upcoming Star Wars films and tell some animated Alien stories - THAT seems like a cool universe ripe with NEW storytelling possibilities...

It's a remake of Captain Planet! by Utamoh	Apr 9th, 2008 10:02:40 AM
Goddamned Hollywood and the politically correct - why would aliens come here from light years away to tell us to take care of our planet? The whole point of the original film was that the aliens felt threatened by our violent path and were afraid our aggression would spread to other planets. What does this film imply? "Oh, you Earth people are dirty. Clean up please. See you later." It's fucking Captain Planet!
it's not Mr. Wu by TheBaxter	Apr 9th, 2008 10:08:59 AM
it's Mr. Woah... and he'll be played Eddie-Murphy-style by Keanu, in some Rick Baker asian old guy makeup.
The boy and mom... by Pariah74	Apr 9th, 2008 10:12:52 AM
IN the original she was a single mom and in the fifties movies that was about as dysfunctional as you could show. That said, the rest seems to be unrecognizable as TDTESS.

Hollywood will stop making stupid remakes like this one by Snookeroo	Apr 9th, 2008 10:37:03 AM
when audiences stop going to see them, and/or renting the videos. Their take is that a remake has a built-in audience, and so it's a safer bet to produce. The problem is that there are enough ass-hats out there to prove Hollywood right.
Stoopid review by Bass Ackwards	Apr 9th, 2008 10:49:09 AM
Though yes, this sounds horrible, what is a script review doing criticizing the way lines are delivered or the "style" of sections of the film, I'd think this guy had already seen the film the way this is written.

Why there is no Christ imagery by RenoNevada2000	Apr 9th, 2008 11:46:56 AM

NO! Make more remakes! Here's why... by Scorpio	Apr 9th, 2008 11:58:06 AM
I sympathize with the notion that they should be bringing other classics (Ender, Rama, Childhood's End, etc.) to the screen. But why would we want that? Seriously, if they are going to do this to a classic like TDTESS, which actually showed them decades ago the right way to do sci-fi, why in the world do we want them to take a piss on, dumb down, and filth up the memories of more great books? This is an outrage. I'd rather see them make fools of themselves and lose millions by making more bad remakes than ruin some classics that are likely best reserved as books.
I agree.... by seniorspeilbergio	Apr 9th, 2008 12:09:02 PM
there are tons of other great science fiction novels out there that need to be adapted. Why not make Robert Sawyers' Calculating God about an alien who comes to earth looking for evidence of the existence of God and then starts a lengthy debate with an earth scientist who's an atheist. There's also Bloom by Wil McCarthy, A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, Vast by Linda Nagata, The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe, The Revelation Space Novels by Alastair Reynolds, Dragons Egg by Robert L. Forward, The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle, The Jupiter Theft by Donald Moffit.... well, i could go on all day but guys do this real quick: go to Amazon and look up these titles and read just the premise and maybe one or two reviews and tell me you wouldn't rather see these stories over something that's already been told and done right a half century ago.

What the hell!? They're taking out everything that makes this a classic. Jesus, after fucking Transformers you'd think Gort would be a given. How do these people get to work in Hollywood? How about we throw out the whole alien thing and make him a bum who thinks he's GOD, and make Gort his dog. Oh, and make it a comedy. Hire Jack Black.

It's shocking how little thought or passion seems to go into these scripts. If you're going to bother to remake the film, why not go back to the source novella? Can you imagine the committee level thinking that resulted in adding Iraq War widow and violent video games and Global Warming to make this "relevant"? And I'm a liberal!

HERE IS A REAL SCOOP! by RedHades	Apr 9th, 2008 12:14:56 PM
Keanu Reeves himself told in an interview a few weeks ago to MTV that YES, he says the "classic" lines: "Klaatu Barada Nikto"! It's the man himself saying, so believe in what you want. One of the best Keanu fansites online - Keanuweb - http://keanuweb.com - got their hands in an early conceptual design from Lorin Wood, artist who is listed at IMDB as working in The Day the Earth Stood Still design team (coincidence, uh?). Someone found it at his blog and the draw is named: GORT. yes, Gort. You can see it here in this link - http://lorinwood.com/ or directly here - http://lorinwood.com/gort.jpg (Now... this is a scoop or what? Only Keanu sites have it for now...). So, I don't think it would cost too much to wait and see what will happen, uh?
unclebusu a note. Top marks for the baxter's post. by Uncapie	Apr 9th, 2008 12:32:33 PM
Why would I give it an impartial revew when its shit? I don't step in it and I don't eat it, but I know when I smell or read it. The problem with remaking this film is that the "powers in charge" have never read Besters story, let alone understood the original film's layered subtext. They've created a souless, hybrid what they think the public will want to see because it deals with current issues(Manufactured issues at that.). By remaking a classic, which was done right the first time, the people involved so desperately want to be a part of that history. Why not make your own history instead of copying someone elses and trying to steal their thunder? Robert Wise won four Academy Awards for directing and all his films during his carrer garnished 80. How can you improve on that with that kind of talent at the helm of the original? Harry Cohn, Louie Mayer, the Lammle's, Herbert J. Yates(With the exception of Vera Ralston.) the Lasky's and Jack Warner took chances, but they were smart about it. That's why they were successful. Spiros Skourus(Head of 20th back in the day.)wasn't. He thought "Cleopatra" with Dick and Liz(The 50's version of Angelina and Brad.)would merrit as a big budget, four hour remake that Cecil B. DeMille did right the first time with Claudette Colbert that came in a little over an hour and a half. Skorus was responsible for almost single handedly destroying 20th with that film and he had to sell off the back lot where Century City now stands. You don't have creative minds making decisions anymore. You have CPA's and attorney's that don't know what makes a good film, only how they can capitalize on a name or product and what's the bottom profit margin for them. They're serving up fast food for the masses. No style, no substance no nutrional value for the brain and you feel empty once you've had it. THE BAXTER...your post made me laugh! "Mr. Whoa!" That was funny!
Nice find Red by metaluna	Apr 9th, 2008 12:42:07 PM
Now why don't we all STFU until the movie is here? I don't like the idea of remaking one of my fav films either, so they're either gonna go totally different and good or they will screw it up royally but right now, we have no idea what is in this film or how they will approach it. As RedHades post has SHOWN, they have a 'Gort' and therefore this script review is bogus (it obviously has a Gort) until we see the final product. I suspect Uncapie has a duff script revision/version. Way to go off all prematurely there fella! Let's wait an see, huh?
Good stories tend to get retold by JumpinJehosaphat	Apr 9th, 2008 12:44:50 PM
Coming from a live theater background (and no, I'm not going to spell it "theatre"), it's strange to see what film has done to the concept of story retelling, and to the audience. There are so many artistic mediums which revisit the same themes, the same stories. Yet, we as movie-goers tend to want our stories reset in very particular ways. Interesting....
RedHades by Darksider	Apr 9th, 2008 12:50:27 PM
Thanks for the links. And could the right-winger trolls shut the fuck up? The original film came out in 1951. What the fuck are you going on about? Aren't you missing Fox News or something?
Please don't turn any of Gene Wolfe's novels into films. by successor	Apr 9th, 2008 12:52:24 PM
Some novels are unadaptable, and Gene Wolfe's books are a prime example. Really, we don't need a version of _The Book of the New Sun_ with Keanu Reeves as Severian.

Name Recognition by Antz	Apr 9th, 2008 03:16:36 PM
That's all they are after, it sells tickets. BUT there is just as much name recognition potential out there from so many great books that have been sitting on the shelves of book stores for years and not touched. I'd love to see "The Stars my Destination" with Russel Crowe in it.
RedHades, Re: Concept Art by RenoNevada2000	Apr 9th, 2008 03:20:28 PM
Do you think that this Lorin Wood guy would jepordize his job on the film by posting actual preproduction artwork on his own website months before the film was due in theaters? A more likely scenario is that he probably created the piece as part of applying for the position and then showed up for work to be told that Gort wasn't going to be in the flick, leaving him free to do with it what he wanted to do.

AND WE'RE SURPRISED WHY? IT'S FUCKING FOX by JaPra	Apr 9th, 2008 05:19:39 PM
This coming from the studio that can't make a good film unless they relinquish control to a writer/director who has negotiated for creative control. Fox has a history for fucking things up. The fucked the shit out of the ALIEN series because they were so bent on control and money. I am not surprised that this script got the greenlight. We have to remember, this is about opening weekend, making around maybe 50 million and then riding past 100 million in the next few weeks. This is about money. PERIOD.

Carbon Tax: The Movie by TheBloop	Apr 9th, 2008 05:57:34 PM
Wow more propaganda from hollywood about the Global Warming hoax, which is nothing more than big money grab to tax the hell out of "your carbon footprint". Hell, if you go down that road, tax really fat people more, because they are winded all the time, and they exhale carbon dioxide, that famous green house gas.

The late, great Lindsay Anderson once told me, "There are no great movies; only great scripts." Coming from a guy who directed four influential UK films("This Sporting Life," "If...," "O'Lucky Man" and "Britannia Hospital.") and learned movie making from the legendary John Ford, I'd say he knew what he was talking about. It all begins with the script.

"The Forever War" by Ironhelix	Apr 9th, 2008 07:23:35 PM
...would make a fucking AWESOME movie. i have been thinking that since i read it as a kid. kind of a homage to "Starship Troopers", but written after the author returned from Vietnam, it has an incredible mix of hard sci-fi, and social commentary. time dilation from space travel causes the soldiers to age more slowly, thus evey time they return from a tour, they are hundreds of years into Earth's future. a future they cannot identify with. most re-enlist to escape an earth they no longer recognize.
FUCK FOX FOR FUCKING THIS UP by Ferf Muckmeyer	Apr 9th, 2008 07:57:31 PM
The Day the Earth Stood Still - easily one of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time. Question #1 - why remake it? That's like remaking fucking Star Wars or The Ten Commandments. Question #2 - if you are going to remake it, why change shit? Don't call Gort "Gort"? Change Gort to a "Totem"? WTF? Don't utter "Klaatu Barada Nicto"? WTF is up with THAT? and finally - Mr. Wu at fucking McDonalds? Give me a fucking break. Fox sucks the DONG OF A RHINO FOR SHITTING THIS UP. I hope they go bankrupt when this film sucks ASS.

Teenagers From Outer Space by kevred	Apr 9th, 2008 09:10:38 PM
I just finished watching the MST3K episode "Teenagers From Outer Space", and halfway through this script summary, my eyes glazed over and I found myself visualizing that cheap old movie instead. This new ones sounds far dumber. I agree with the conclusion Uncapie reached--there's an endless library of sci-fi material, decades' worth, that would make great source material. Is it impossible for Hollywood to create something it hasn't already seen on screen before? "See, we'll have that ship, but it'll be round...and that Guy--he'll be Keanu...and the robot there? What if he was bigger and walked on four legs? Coool...." Hollywood, please know this: one day, your children will grow up and realize that their parents' life work was a bunch of derivative, dumbed-down crap. Is that what you want? (Note: if you haven't already reproduced, please do not start.)

IF New York Times, CNN, Dan Rather, etc... were at the tinniest bit unbiased, there would be no Fox News. How do you like them apples, fruit cake?
About Gort to RenoNevada2000 by RedHades	Apr 9th, 2008 10:40:54 PM
Well, I agree with you about Lorin Wood jeopardizing his work by putting that concept art in his site, and that's why I asked for someone from AICN to try to discover something more about it. But, think with me: isn't too much coincidence that the guy is indeed listed as conceptual artist for the movie and has that draw in his blog? named Gort? And why in hell would they hire a conceptual artist and he would present something like that and then producers say: No, there is no Gort! It's stupid! (OK, I know they can be like that, but whatever). Well, IMO there is no way the movie won't have a Gort. The robot is there, the fact it's named Totem in the draft means nothing, it may be Gort. I read that interview with Keanu and he say he utters the classic line AND that they have Gort, but a "new" one. I believe that this script may be true, maybe an early draft, as we know Scott Derrickson was working again on the script before starting filming and it may be gone through many changes, but I don't believe the line and Gort will be away from the new version. As for the changes: well folks, it's obvious it won't be the same movie you all love! We are in 08, not in the 50s, and things changed. The original version will still there, what we have here is an update, something new taken from the ideas of the original. I think we should reserve judgement for AFTER seeing something more about the movie...BTW, here is what Keanu said to MTV: -------- Link here: http://www.mtv.ca/news/article .jhtml?id=7834 " MTV: You're no stranger to sci-fi, and you've just shot another big one, the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Why do you love the genre so much? Reeves: Wow, big question. I really enjoy science-fiction. As a genre, it's very flexible. It's almost an über-genre. You can do science-fiction romance or drama or horror. It always carries something else with it. MTV: The first "The Day the Earth Stood Still" was very much an allegory. Is there as much of a commentary in this one? Reeves: Yeah. Absolutely. The first one was born out of the Cold War and nuclear détente. Klaatu [the protagonist in the film] came and was saying, "Cease and desist with your violence. If you can't do it yourselves, we're going to do it." That was the film of that day. The version I was just working on, instead of being man against man, it's more about man against nature. My Klaatu says, "If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. I'm a friend to the Earth." MTV: Sounds like Al Gore will be a fan. Reeves: Well, it's trying to reach beyond the idea of environmentalism. It's dealing with not just the consequences of what we're doing, but who we are as a species. MTV: Do you say the immortal words, "Klaatu barada nikto"? Reeves: I do. MTV: I assume Gort looks a bit different than the tin man of the original. Reeves: Hey, man, don't put that tin man down. That was iconoclastic. Except for "Metropolis," that might be the best [robot]. Yes, we have another version of the tin man. MTV: Would you call it an action movie? Reeves: It's more of a propulsive drama with a road movie in there."

...I'd think the world should end too. I think this reviewer was looking to hate this script from the get go and not exactly looking at it with an objective eye. His entire criticism is that it's not exactly like the original film. Is this film unnecessary? Yeah, but we're getting it whether we like it or not so I think it should be approached on its own terms. A remake of Howard Hawks' Thing From Another World was unnecessary, but we got another sci-fi classic out of that.

HERESY! DAMN THOSE HACKS TA HELL! by KillaKane	Apr 10th, 2008 04:25:20 AM
C'mon this is a seminal Sci-fi film, imbued with many interesting notions on morality and humanity; without adherance to the very facets that fandom adore and oft recite it's simply going to alienate much of that market. Not a great start, but symptomatic of the prevailing reboot mentality and short-sighted approach of the studio execs. Why not just make generic sci-fi fodder based on TDTESS's premise? I was naively thinking this movie was going to be reverential to the original, even daring to imagine a holdover of some of Bernard Hermann's score, no such luck.

Keanu Barada Nikto by Napoleon Park	Apr 10th, 2008 06:45:18 AM
Oh woe, a classic b&w Sci-fi film from the '50s is being remade. If it is changed in the least I shall hate it. If it is a shot for shot remake I shall scorn it. If it is totally different from the original I shall ask "why not change the title" but it it was touted as a new project I would cry out "sounds like they're ripping off TDTESS". Nothing shall please me! If only there were some way to actually own a copy of the original film, like on some sort of tape or disc, so that my precious memories of the original would remain unbesmirched and I could simple ignore the existence of the remake the way I did with that Apes movie or Kong. Ah well, perhaps in the far flung future of the 21st Century such dreams shall come true. Home video, wall sized television screens and flying cars - what a grand world it shall be.
To be honest, I'm glad more s.f. books... by TroutMaskReplicant	Apr 10th, 2008 06:47:12 AM
...haven't made it to the big screen. It's especially hard to make good serious science fiction films that don't revolve around thriller, action or horror plotlines and not have them seem listless and dull. maybe we've actually been lucky so far. I was thinking there recently that if two mediocre adaptions of Ursula Le Guin's Lathe Of Heaven hadn't been made then perhaps Charlie Kauffman may have had a whack at it. It's certainly right up his alley. And does anyone really want Childhood's End written by Akiva Goldsman??? Or the guy who wrote the original script of I, Robot (as rewritten by Goldsman) writing Asimov's Foundation???

No Gort, and a total basardization of this plot equals TDTESSINO. If you want to make this movie, don't call it The Day the Earth Stood Still. It's a slap in the face to the beauty of the original. Guess what Hollywood, us movie geeks can still appreciate a classic black and white sci-fi film with a plot. We don't need a lot of pretty things that go boom all the time. Try coming up with an original idea.

It's been in development hell for over a decade. They hired David Benioff and Dougherty and Harris to write drafts (no doubt at serious expense) and Card rejected them apparently. So he went back to writing the script himself. There are snatches of an early draft about, if you look around. It's fair to say that Card, like many fiction writers, doesn't understand screenwriting at all. I was going to say the film has a chance of getting made if Card dies, but he's only 56. I thought he was in his 80's...!
Why even do these re-envisionments? by DrEdwardMorbius	Apr 10th, 2008 01:03:37 PM
A: Because some jack-a-ninny at a studio figures they can make money off of movies they already own the rights to. They think it is safe, although they feel enough courage to completely change it up. There is nothing that needs a re-envisioning (sp?), just stories that aren't quite good enough on their own, therefore injecting some known properties into it may make them successful. I disagree with this line of thinking and believe the audience will actually embrace new concepts, ideas and stories without trying to drag a great movie/story through the shit. I'm waiting for the turd that is Hollywood to release the statement of a re-imagining of Jaws...this time in Michigan...with no Sheriff, no shark specialist, no shark hunter, no ocean...and no shark.
Ender's Game by finky089	Apr 10th, 2008 01:09:30 PM
TroutMaskReplicant, i'll have to do some Net scouring to see if I can find some pages of those drafts. I really enjoyed the book and do think it would be quite a task to adapt well, but surely, it could be done. I guess OSC is just too attached to his own material to cut a good screenplay from it. There's alot of characters who are decently fleshed out in the book and most probably would be cut or combined, which I imagine feels "wrong" to him. I guess I can just keep re-reading the book until a movie does materialize.

Ender's game cannot be translated to film... by Darth Macchio	Apr 10th, 2008 03:54:13 PM
2 words: Child genius. How do you portray that without actually having a child genius? A child actor acting like a child genius will only appear precocious on screen unless the project gets an absolutely brilliant screenwriter and director or they find a brilliant and absurdly talented child actor (that might be mutually exclusive...collating data). In particular, the older brother and sister portions; I won't spoil the whole thing but what they do will be very difficult to portray on-screen, especially within 120 minutes or so. On the page it's easy to forget your reading about (practically) supernaturally gifted children and thus suspend your disbelief...on the screen it won't be so easy and giving modern child actors scenarios as you find in 'Game' is potentially absurd. Not to say I don't want to see it...if done right it would be amazing...especially the end...still one of the best endings to any Sci-Fi I've read....but I just don't see how they could do this. All CGI would be lifeless and sucktastic. Using actors is possible....possible...possibl e. Here's a hint...don't let Dakota Fanning or Freddie Highmore anywhere near this (well...Freddie could possibly, technically pass for Ender...too old of course...but...hmmm).

during the other Global Warming cycles the Earth has had. This will be the first one caused by people in earths history so they tell us. Usually it's the Sun or a volcano or asteroid, random magnetic pole shift or the continent separation or mountains shooting up out of the ocean or some earthquake that causes a major change on the planet ( a planet that seems to recover from each of these disastrous events without our help ) Making this the reason he comes to earth in the remake is just silly and the time , money and energy wasted making this remake will negate any good the "Place Current Environmental Message Here" would bring the world. The $100 million budget could be donated to charity. The gas, electricity, wood, waste from set construction, paints, trash that would be saved by not making the movie would equal the resources that could support a poor tribe in some third world country. Lame.

You know the best thing about Global Warming? by Darth Macchio	Apr 11th, 2008 10:52:22 AM
True or not...human beings are the one's who will suffer (ok, a few animals too but mostly us and our 'way of life'). This is a perfect and delicious irony! We are accountable to our actions in the global sense naturally speaking!....even if we are never accountable for anything in all other circles of the society we've created. If it is true then we're all fucked which is not only fine, it's actually appropriate because it is OUR fault! A natural world 'quid pro quo' if you will. If it's not true, then we'll go zealot as usual and overreact which will affect people economically and socially. It will even very likely negatively affect the environment! (read about recycling, outside of cans and paper, most recycling is actually bad for the environment! another delightful irony). My take is simple: one outcome leads to certain death for humanity and one leads to questionable economic and social upheaval in various parts of the world (both taken to their extremems of course). You see...the Earth doesn't care...if we had a full-on nuclear war with the accompanying nuclear winter...the whole '40 years of non-stop darkness' thing....the Earth will heal itself and move on. We've got a pathetically overstated sense of entitlement and almost pathologically narcissistic take on our place in the universe (read: we ARE the universe) and I love that our "just desserts" will either be sweet or sour but no matter...we will all eat it just the same!!! No, I'm not anti-human but I am for universal justice...natural or not...if we screw something up we should fix it or pay the price...nuff said.
Oh and I still say...(on topic) by Darth Macchio	Apr 11th, 2008 10:58:39 AM
That Ender's Game cannot be made without herculean effort by an incredibly talented group of filmmakers and storytellers. And the original "Day the Earth Stood Still" was more icon than great cinema for me (I watched it and got bored and changed the channel..sorry old-cinema film purists). I will say that a remake without Gort as he is in the original is ass. There's nothing scary about "Totem" in fact, why the fuck would aliens use a culturally specific word like "Totem" anyway? It's a anthropocentric word and more...it's typically secular in meaning! ASS! Gort or suck....your choice.

I'm a fan of the classic but remaking a movie isnt a bad thing it doesnt take anything from the original. Thats what humans do, they tell great stories and they get past down to the younger generation and every telling is a little different. This movie looks ok to me and I'll certainly be ripping it from Isohunt,I'll judge it when Ive seen it. Mind you any chance of Neil Gaimens Season of mist being turned into a movie, the gates of Hell are well guarded.
