first to Meh? by tolomey	Apr 24th, 2008 09:29:51 AM

I hope the acting is better by Utamoh	Apr 24th, 2008 09:30:06 AM
The original was so ham-fisted....hey, am I first?
The Furry by Thunderbolt Ross	Apr 24th, 2008 09:34:31 AM
Now that's a movie
I thought this was about a racing horse. by Diagnostic	Apr 24th, 2008 09:36:51 AM
Get Sam Jackson to do a cameo.
Rated Hard R could be cool tho by tolomey	Apr 24th, 2008 09:37:58 AM
Lets see more flying limbs please
Oh no, not The Furry! by Sledge Hammer	Apr 24th, 2008 09:43:07 AM
Anthropomorphic bunny and puppy suit fuckers ahoy! There is no greater horror...
the furry by el-guappo	Apr 24th, 2008 09:45:40 AM
the furry sounds better! I'd go to see that! Yeah!
Poster font by photoboy	Apr 24th, 2008 09:47:38 AM
Isn't that the same font they used in some of the Trek films?
Meh by GibsonUSA	Apr 24th, 2008 09:48:30 AM
It will come out in theaters, get #2 at the box office, then drop out of sight quietly. Why bother?
Sounds more a Sci Fi original series than a movie by Reel American Hero	Apr 24th, 2008 09:52:04 AM

GibsonUSA by kwisatzhaderach	Apr 24th, 2008 09:58:44 AM
Because thousands of idiots will buy the DVD.
Cinefantastique by Shoegeezer	Apr 24th, 2008 09:58:54 AM
I'm pretty sure that still is in Cinefantastique not Starlog. Might even be in their incredible Star Wars double issue of 1978, sounds about the right time.
Love the scene were the Arab Sheiks by TheBloop	Apr 24th, 2008 10:00:50 AM
Get their carnival ride ruined as they get sent smashing into the ground. I am sure CAIR representatives will get wind of the remake and depend that scene be changed so it is evil Mormons that get killed.
Phanotm of the Paradise?! by Anna Valerious	Apr 24th, 2008 10:02:11 AM
Yeah, this is being remade, too. And DePalma's writing the screenplay. Let's hope he realizes that someone dressed like an evil "Battle of the Planets" member sneaking around a theater is not inconspicuous.
Opps by TheBloop	Apr 24th, 2008 10:02:33 AM
I meant "demand". Oh yeah, Andrew Stevens had a really mean vain in his forehead in that move too.
The Furry starred by Thunderbolt Ross	Apr 24th, 2008 10:04:06 AM
Tom Selleck and Robin Williams I believe. Man what a team!
John Cassavetes gotta eat... by tonagan	Apr 24th, 2008 10:09:19 AM
Seriously, that's why he was in "big" pictures like The Fury, so he could finance his own films. Though he certainly appeared to have a blast while filming it.
Re-watched it by Darthkrusty	Apr 24th, 2008 10:10:17 AM
around Halloween and it still holds up pretty well. A bit too long and very 70's, but a good follow-up to Carrie.
One of my least favorite DePalma films by Beezbo	Apr 24th, 2008 10:23:54 AM
The telekinesis thing always bores me - and there weren't enough Hitchcock references!

Sounds like Firestarter by krish-0	Apr 24th, 2008 10:35:55 AM
Or I guess, Firestarter sounds like The Fury. Meh.
No no no and once again no. by Gabba-UK	Apr 24th, 2008 10:38:11 AM
will someone please pass a law forbiding remakes!!!! The huge amount of original material in different media demanding film adaptions and all the Hollywood suits can do is find old movies to remake. And not even very good ones at that if The Fury is the next in line.
Useless trivia: John Williams did score of the original by sapno_krei	Apr 24th, 2008 10:40:47 AM

They should remake FIRESTARTER by BenBraddock	Apr 24th, 2008 10:43:47 AM
The book was great, the movie horrible. CGI fire means they could really do it right this time. Hollywood calling Dakota Fanning...

That's Spielberg on the floor after he divorced Amy Irving... by Zardoz	Apr 24th, 2008 10:45:15 AM
and had to pay her $100 million dollars for a settlement! OUCH! "Give me HALF, Stevie!"
The Fury cant be improved upon... by wowsah156	Apr 24th, 2008 10:54:17 AM
it had a latent violence that seeped off the screen. I cant see that being replicated in this day with all the crap CGI. The only person who maybe do an alternative version is maybe rob Zombie. but anyone else? Nah, dont think so.
The best part of the whole movie for me is by PumpyMcAss	Apr 24th, 2008 11:04:54 AM
when Kirk Douglass does what a buddy and I termed an "impulse suicide" at the end. DePalma doesn't even give him a second to think about killing himself, he just flops off the roof, "Robin? Nooooo!!!" Oh man, it was hilarious. And why are they remaking this movie again?
FIRESTARTER by Herb West	Apr 24th, 2008 11:12:49 AM
That's what I thought too. They just don't make "Evil government agents going after psychics" like they used to. As in Firestarter, Scanners, The Fury.
Alright, so the kid has powers, by Stevie Grant	Apr 24th, 2008 11:19:26 AM

Right after this they're gonna remake Scanners by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 24th, 2008 11:21:00 AM
Hollywood sucks. Not one original idea left.
I love the novel by WickedMonster	Apr 24th, 2008 11:30:38 AM
I read it 3 times and wrote a personal thesis on kinetic powers and its strengths based on environment. Its just brilliant (the novel I mean). Based on recent track record on remakes, I don't think this one will even make the cut. Funny I don't remember the above scene in the movie.
This might actually be better... by Bones	Apr 24th, 2008 11:31:54 AM
The original "The Fury" is NOT a good movie. I mean, DePalma is a hit-and-miss director. The Fury is not one of his hits. It is possible, however unlikely, that a new director might actually create a remake that eclipses the original. So long as this new version does not fall into the trap that the remake of The Haunting did, which was to play too much into CGI's hands--then modern film effects could make a truly mind-blowing film (no pun intended). And I vote for Mila Kunis to take over for young Amy Irving. Yowsa! On a side note, that classic still from the movie is one of the earliest memories I have of a horror film, right up there with the wheelchair from The Changeling. It is so bizarre to think of that image near a Starlog article about Star Wars toys...
The Fury by skimn	Apr 24th, 2008 11:44:19 AM
Had one of John Williams most underated scores, great effects from Rick Baker(remember the levitating, spinning, BLEEDING woman), and despite some clunky directing from DePalma, one of my favorite sequences of his films. The slow motion escape of Gillian from the facility was a showcase of editing, showing different points of view, and maintaining a level of excitement with a dreamlike quality.
ending to the Fury by Buffalo500	Apr 24th, 2008 11:45:18 AM
probably one of the most freaky endings to a movie ever. Saw the film recently and thought it really holds up well.
But then again, everything's stranger on LSD by Reel American Hero	Apr 24th, 2008 11:52:26 AM

As I recall this was DePalma's by skimn	Apr 24th, 2008 11:54:32 AM
big budget gift from the studio after the success of Carrie. I don't think it did too well, and he went back to the smaller scaled Dressed To Kill and ( a big personal favorite ) Blow Out as follow ups. Anyone who only knows John Travolta from the crap he's been in lately, truly needs to rent that title. God, it's DePalma at his best...
Amy Irving used to be HOT!... by Kid Z	Apr 24th, 2008 11:59:02 AM
...what the hell happened? I guess we'll have to endure a PG-13 remake of this in which no one says "fuck" or has their head blow up on camera. I mean really, when you were kids, seeing someone's head blow up was the only reason to turn on HBO and watch this movie when you got home from school. Tell be you didn't have an especially nasty math teacher that'd make you wish you had those "cool Fury (or Scanner) powers!"
Crappy book, great movie by steveandshelley	Apr 24th, 2008 12:28:46 PM
De Palma's original was freaky good. Great publicity still--love the white frills and severed head. John Williams' score was one of his best.
Give it to Rob Zombie! by BiggusDickus	Apr 24th, 2008 12:29:08 PM
Let's really fuck it up!
Go figure... by thegreatwhatzit	Apr 24th, 2008 12:32:39 PM
The movie was a boxoffice disappointment and was hardly embraced by critics. So what's the pint of a remake? I can only recount a certain admiration for Kirk Douglas (kicking ass well past middle age) as well as Fiona Lewis (who should have performed some seriously gratuitous nude scenes). By comparison, Amy Irving just faded into the wallpaper (nice "bikini" scene, thogh).
this movie could be good with a remake..... by StovetopStuffin'	Apr 24th, 2008 12:45:39 PM

Any movie that has a climax dependent on a character who can levitate die by falling off anything is just dumb, exploding Cassavetes heads or no...
I second the FIRESTARTER remake. by Gilkuliehe	Apr 24th, 2008 01:10:51 PM
I had a blast reading that book. I was a teenager, but a smart one. And they can do great fx now. That bullet with the mini super explosion was dumb as fuck.

This one I'm okay with... by Roguewriter	Apr 24th, 2008 01:53:15 PM
... I'm all for Hollywood remaking those "almost" flicks that didn't quite work, and this one's definitely not among DePalma's best. Would love to see what Aja or Nispel or one of the young horror upstarts could do with a gritty, nasty, modern reimagining of this flick. Which was really just a bad Cronenberg ripoff anyway. =)
I love that photo too... by Roguewriter	Apr 24th, 2008 01:54:22 PM
It hung on my wall for years, part of a massive collage of SF/horror pictures culled mostly from the pages of STARLOG and FANGORIA... Christ, I wish I'd bought two copies of all those classic old mags...
Soon we'll be remaking remakes! by Major Hockshtetter	Apr 24th, 2008 02:40:18 PM
Just think, since Hollywood feels that the public's memory is shorter than the lifespan of the average chihuahua, soon we'll see a remake of the remake of the House on Haunted Hill, a remake of the remake of TX Chainsaw Massacre, etc. What glorious times we live in! Watch, kids, as Hollywood eats itself into oblivion. As the late great Bill Hicks used to lament, "Arizona Bay! Arizona Bay!"
I think by Bloo	Apr 24th, 2008 02:49:09 PM
our love of this movie is based soly on Cassavetes and Dougles, they make that movie, without them it's crap. What actors do we have now that could even be considered for those roles
Call me deranged, by Gwai Lo	Apr 24th, 2008 03:18:34 PM
but Body Double is my favorite De Palma film. That scene where Craig Wasson follows the girl through the mall as she is simultaneously followed by the Indian is one of the greatest suspense sequences of all time. And it culminates in an utterly unrealistic Hollywood kiss that just puts the cherry on top. Then you have the rest of the film, which not only features Dennis Franz and death by power drill, but also a Frankie Goes to Hollywood music video. Cinematic bliss.

Hate to be picky, but the correct spelling is even clear in the poster above. I'm soooo sick of horror remakes. It makes me want to grab the executives who greenlight them and nail their scrotums to the wall. Guess I'll crawl in a corner, drop LSD, and imagine NC-17 Joe R. Lansdale adaptations. Stop mauling my beloved horror.
please please please please by novembre13	Apr 24th, 2008 03:40:40 PM
stop. stop remaking movies. come up with new ideas and give it new names. please. to the assholes in hollywood and whoever has a video camera and the means to make a film: no more borrowing footage. no more reusing storyboards. no more homages. no more tributes. no more parodies. no more imitations. no more sequels made just for the money. no more movies made from old TV shows. and it hurts to say, but no more comic book movies. and if you must make comic book movies, come up with original stories and stop telling origin stories. every one knows how spiderman, superman, batman, and all the others became who they are. and really, is it necessary to explain how to people who don't know? are they even watching the movies if they aren't at least a tiny bit familiar with the character?

BODY DOUBLE is one of the best things the Coen Bros. ever wrote. Ranks right up there alongside BLOOD SIMPLE. Genius stuff. Remake THE FURY; leave BODY DOUBLE alone!!

She was the only actress in that scene who had hr underwear on (dammit).

I'm not sure if you're joking or implying that Body Double ripped off Blood Simple or if the Coens were uncredited writers but I have never heard of their involvement with it?

Jeez. Hollywood needs help and fast. Will Douglas have a cameo? The original is okay (nothing great), but I'll only watch it if Douglas is in it.
I was fascinated by the original as a kid... by Anti-fanboy	Apr 24th, 2008 06:48:51 PM
But after watching again recently, the final act seemed strangely abrupt. That said, Fiona Lewis was hot as ever. And the JW score was sweet. Also, Kirk Douglas is fucking great.
"He blowed up REAL good!..." by gamerawangi	Apr 24th, 2008 07:22:09 PM
"Just like John Cassa-vee-dees in that movie, 'The Fury'"! To quote John Candy and Joe Flaherty on SCTV. "Blowed up REAL good" was a common catch phrase in the late 70's, early 80's. Candy and Flaherty played two farmers who, during their pre-dawn farm report, started doing movie revues instead. Comic gold when I was a kid. Oh, and that amusement park where Andrew Stevens offs the Arab-type guys? That was "Old Chicago", an indoor shopping mall and amusement park in the suburbs of Chicago. Look up the word "boondoggle" in the dictionary for a better description of that lame, lame place. Now long gone and, hopefully, forgotten by all Chicago-area residents. It was a great hang-out for stoners, though, I'll give it that.

This is stupid, and it's because... by DanielKurland	Apr 24th, 2008 09:13:11 PM
the only really amazing thing about De Palma movies is his absolutely brilliant cinematography and his perfect visual eye. The stories are shit, and the acting is questionable, but Goddamn if his films don't look absolutely beautiful. I adore Phantom of the Paradise, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out and tons of his other movies, but I don't know if I can say that they are "good" movies, when so much is wrong with them, and they so obviously take from other films, but I love watching them. Now, if someone remakes his movie, I imagine all his visual flair is going to be gone, so you're just going to be left with a B-story, unless they only loosely take the story idea and majorly work it.
The bedroom always needed a splash of color.... by MrMysteryGuest	Apr 24th, 2008 09:18:49 PM

Fuck, I HATE talking about De Palma... by DanielKurland	Apr 24th, 2008 09:19:59 PM
Because stuff like the ending to Blow Out, the elevator and museum sequences in Dressed to Kill, the freak out and subsequent split screen in Sisters, the Frankie Goes to Hollywood scene in Body Double, the Mia Kishner scenes in Black Dahlia, I love SO, SO much, but then it's Hitchcock ripoffs and just shitty resolutions to stories that make me hate him. I know you don't watch a De Palma film for the writing, but I just wish he was more complete so I could absolutely praise him and have no drawback. Does anyone else share my situation/understand? Snake Eyes is not a good movie but that fucking 10 minute continuous tracking shot that opens the film is a work of art!
The moral of this story: Don't piss off Amy Irving! by MrMysteryGuest	Apr 24th, 2008 09:21:53 PM

And as far as JW under-appreciated scores go... by gamerawangi	Apr 24th, 2008 09:29:04 PM
The award has to go to "Towering Inferno". Just freakin' awesome! Better than, dare I say, all his "Star Wars" work. There, I said it. And I'm proud.

Also in the Fury: Daryl Hannah by Osmosis Jones	Apr 24th, 2008 10:47:15 PM
Her first movie role, in fact (and in a cute schoolgirl outfit, no less). The thing about the original is, it's unrepentant trash, and that's what's AWESOME about it. Doing it now as a tame, PG-13 WB programmer would just turn it into X-Men without the silly costumes (and, weirdly enough, X-Men 3 actually ripped off The Fury during the "Xavier's death" scene). This can only work as a remake with an R rating and with a similarly stylized director behind the camera. Of course, we'll no doubt get stuck with a buzzing Steve Jablonsky score instead of John Williams' virtual SYMPHONY for the original, sigh...

BTW: Why is it todays movies are stupid and don't tell original stories like the seventies movies did? Can anyone explain? Is the audience more stupid too?
John Williams Fury score by Samuel Fulmer	Apr 25th, 2008 01:04:16 PM
Not just one of his best, but one of the best film score period. I actually wish he would've done another score for De Palma.
Underrated by homer40	Apr 25th, 2008 01:44:49 PM
I have always like The Fury, though it has its flaws. It is certainly a triumph of style over substance, because the screenplay is subpar. In discussing directorial style, I have always maintained that the style must be in support of the film, and not just to show off. The only exception to this is where there is a problem with the screenplay that requires the audience be distracted. DePalma is one of the great directors, from the standpoint of having a clear and unique style he applies to all his films. As Pauline Kael commented, DePalma has what she referred to as a "film sense", hard to define, but basically just an innate understanding of the medium that can be transposed onto film. The Fury contains one of the most obvious examples of the use of style to compensate for a screenplay no no. There is a long, expository scene with Douglas and DePalma just tracks, tracks, tracks, around the characters. The scene contains necessary information, but is totally inept at getting across. What DePalma does is distract us with the circular tracking shot, so that our eyes are busy. We still get the info, but are less likely to notice that we are essentially listening to a laundry list of plot points. He did the same thing in the first scene of Scarface, but had Pacino hamming it up big time as well. For anybody who questions DePalma's talent, particularly in his later years, watch Femme Fatale, which is one of the best films in years from any director. I'm not generally a fan of sex in mainstream films, as mainstream directors don't seem to understand what is sexy, but that movie contains one of the most boner inducing scenes in any non-porno movie. His new film, Redacted, is very interesting, and worth a watch, especially for the far left crowd. While it is almost a direct remake of the great Casualties of War, it employs an entirely different style, and it is an exercise in how the same subject matter can be expressed differently by utilizing a radically different style. BTW this was shown on one of the HD channels this week, and I am waiting to watch it to see how the transfer is.
What I meant by homer40	Apr 25th, 2008 01:48:15 PM
Is that The Fury was shown on one of the HD channels, not Redacted. While I am at it, the HD DVD of The Untouchables is superb, though it is the least personal of any of DePalma's films. Still, it works as entertainment, very, very well. Anybody have a link to the original screenplay of The Untouchables, before they took out all the David Mametspeak?
Only the idiots love Scarface/Untouchables and hate The Fury by George Lane	Apr 25th, 2008 06:17:15 PM
All the Tarantino/giallo/trash/excitin g movie fans out there better rewatch The Fury. There's no better 'trash'/popular movie-masterpiece out there in the last thirty years or the thirty years before that. The only thing to shrug off are the work for hire stuff that DePalma has done(Scarface/Untouchables/etc ., etc.) The Fury is incredible throughout. Ridiculous, overwrought, impossible, but ain't that what the movies are for? Where are the fucking Depalma defenders? His stories suck? Who gives a fuck? This is the movie that Godard saw that started him making movies again. He said it had the most beautiful editing he'd ever seen. I don't even know where to begin with this movie because I love it so much. I've never even posted on this goddamn site and I was looking over the things people were saying about this movie and couldn't find a single person I agreed with. This movie is what the movies were for. This is a better horror movie than the one you were going to get in the mail from NetFlix. This is a better comedy than whatever comedy you were talking about today or whenever. Fuck. The only other 'trash'(I'm not crazy about that term, but I prefer it to some kind of honorific that you might use for one of the cornpoke Cronenberg melodramas of the last couple years and yes, I like his early stuff) movie makers that made something as awesome as this in the seventies(or otherwise) are Walter Hill, and Sam Peckinpah. This movie is as great as the greatest stuff those two made. Yes, this movie is trash, over the top, funny in bizarre spots. That's the point. People never recogize him as a genre satirist(which is way, way more sophisticated than what Tarantino does)It goes past Hitchcock and finds the comedy. When Robin rakes his fingernails across Kirk Douglas' face- it's supposed to be funny. When Robin makes his tutor/lover telekinetically spin in the air spraying blood against the walls you're supposed to be agape. It's Goya and Hot Fuzz at the same time. The famous ending needs to be watched again. It's funny and horrifying at the same time. Fuck. How can people not love this movie? What in the shit?
The right one by The StarWolf	Apr 25th, 2008 10:07:19 PM
At least they chose the far inferior film to tamper with. Here, THE FURY came out opposite THE MEDUSA TOUCH which was, for my money a much, MUCH superior film. As it was, I felt I'd wasted my money on THE FURY - which I saw in the cinema the same evening as MEDUSA - and see no reason to waste more on seeing a remake.

As I mentioned above, it IS being remade. I'm totally thinking that Swann will be based more on Simon Cowell this time around because it turns out Phil Spector IS psychotic and may have murdered someone. And due to that trial, they're gonna hafta tiptoe around it. (Besides, although they do a better parody on "Metalocalypse", it's safer to not do it.) Plus, they have to ditch the "Gatchaman" looking outfit for Phantom. I know he was working off a pun, but having him look like a visual kei member with an elegant silver half-mask covering the damaged side of his face and wearing h.Naoto and Moi Meme Moite-influenced clothing would be awesome.
