I kinda want to see this remade
Original needs a new speical edition DVD by ZombiKiller86	May 4th, 2008 01:56:26 AM
Universal has to have a print of the 3D version somewhere or else I wouldn't have been able to get my hands on an old ass VHS copy that had the original 3D version on it (thank you very much Movie Gallery).
Where did the Big Fish story go? by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 4th, 2008 02:49:27 AM
And I could have sworn I saw something for True Lies 2 and now both are gone off the site. WTF?
ryan rotten by The Real MiraJeff	May 4th, 2008 02:49:36 AM
is a cool dude. we spent an hour or so shooting the shit on the roof of the standard downtown while waiting for jessica alba to arrive so we could talk to her for 8.5 minutes about The Eye (the 2nd worst movie of the year next to Prom Night -- sorry couldn't resist) and let me tell you, that dude knows horror movies. the arrow ain't got nothin' on him.
Big Fish story? by U-Stu.com	May 4th, 2008 02:53:11 AM
As in the movie? I loved that movie what was the article about?
Big Fish story was about by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 4th, 2008 03:59:05 AM
someone saying they saw a parade that had Ewan Mcg and the tall man in it. The story had a link and it was a rumor about a possible sequel. Gone off the site.
Hillary Clinton is Playing the Creature by Queefer Bukkake	May 4th, 2008 04:23:43 AM

Why? The original is perfection? by Uncle Stan	May 4th, 2008 08:33:07 AM
Updated special effects will not make it a better movie when the original film is more than that. Did you nancy-boys learn nothing from Burton's Planet of the Apes or the various remakes of King Kong?
African American Lagoon surely? by Pondscum	May 4th, 2008 08:58:16 AM
This is gonna be Ananconda, but without...you know, anancondas. Instead of giant snakes, they're gonna use...like, a fish guy or some shit like that. If they can work in an eco friendly, death of the Amazon type theme and include a load of annoying 20 somethings, then I'm there on opening day...with Semtex and a celluar detonator.
So conflicted... by SoylentMean	May 4th, 2008 09:02:25 AM
I love the original and again the only thing truly worthwhile (from a film lover's perspective) is that maybe, just maybe this remake will bring new found knowledge of the original to folks who've never heard of it. Still, if they're going for a summer release from Universal you can be damn sure they're going to Mummy this up. Big time. I'll see this just like I'll see The Wolfman update (with Benecio Del Toro) but I'm not exptecting too much out of it.
hope there's a guy in a suit by sith_rising	May 4th, 2008 09:21:44 AM
at least for the close ups, obviously lots of CG for underwater and action scenes. the gill man/ merman was my favorite creature when I was a kid, so I hope this is good...
Hide a zipper on the CGI model somewhere by BrandLoyalist	May 4th, 2008 09:48:34 AM

I agree. Why? by Knuckleduster	May 4th, 2008 10:38:36 AM
The original is pure joy. Why fuck with it? Oh yeah, money.... right. Anyhoo, I hope they at least get the folks who made Abe Sapien for the Hellboy movie to do this.
Hillary Clinton... by thegreatwhatzit	May 4th, 2008 11:19:14 AM
can play Jason's mom in the unncessary remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH (a pretty sorry franchise to begin with). Bill Clinton could play a "playboy" politician (married, of course) whose promiscuity prompts Jason's wrath. Nice cameo. Hillary could reprise her role in the sequels; in another month or two she'll--as usual--have nothing to do. By the way, Ben Chapman--who played the original CREATURE OF BLACK LAGOON (dryland scenes)--passed away a few weeks ago.
Mirajeff... by ImMorganFreeman	May 4th, 2008 11:35:24 AM
I concur with your thoughts on Ryan. I see him at any and every "horror" type event I get sent to as well. I was also up there on the Standard roof. I was the guy who asked ALba if I could have her fries after the interview. (You might have been with the other group, though). Anyway, I had fun on the roof with all the horror guys (even if you all did see Grindhouse the day before and couldn't stop talking about it) but that was a waste of a day. A set visit to watch Alba play blind as she exits a cab. Ooooohhh.. Hollywood magic!
Uncle Stan... by unionJACKass.webs.com	May 4th, 2008 01:09:03 PM
... KING KONG (2005) was great in every sense.
I don't think this will work by INWOsuxRED	May 4th, 2008 01:16:31 PM
and I hate people that "know horror".
Kong 2005 by INWOsuxRED	May 4th, 2008 01:29:18 PM
was tedious but had some good cgi ape stuff.
Jurassic_Kong in 2005 was a Mess. by TomBodet	May 4th, 2008 01:31:02 PM
What worked-REALLY worked-WOWEE WOWEE WOW WOWSERS-A BIG MONKEY!!!!!-but what didn't(Jimmy the Cabin Boy etc, Jack fucking Black, etc) DIDN'T. I don't need to see it again.
Creature From The Black Lagoon by Snookeroo	May 4th, 2008 01:37:35 PM
worked because of the era in which it was made (amazingly well, I might add). Make something new, don't ruin something that's not.
CLOVERFIELD 2 IMAGES LEAKED! by LittleDudes	May 4th, 2008 01:49:56 PM

They need to combine all 3 original storylines into ONE film. by Nosferatu Jones	May 4th, 2008 02:45:02 PM
Combine the basic plots/set-ups of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, REVENGE OF THE CREATURE and THE CREATURE WALKS AMOUNG US into one rock-solid flick and there's your remake right there. Discovery of the creature (from LAGOON); capture, public display and escape of the creature (from REVENGE); and genetic manipulation of the Gill-Man and his attempts to return to the sea (from AMONG US). Can't go wrong with a story like that.
TUBGIRL II PICS LEAKED!!! LILDUDES THANKS YOU. by TomBodet	May 4th, 2008 04:15:31 PM
You know they're hard to keep from being unearthed.
Screw a new effects team by thujone68	May 4th, 2008 04:22:03 PM
Just pull the creature from Monster Squad out of mothballs. That was a cool ass monster!
Barack Obama as Gillman! by Prossor	May 4th, 2008 04:54:26 PM
put some green paint on him and he's it! he has the frog lips and everything!
Sahara was hideously bad... by blackmantis	May 4th, 2008 05:43:34 PM
This will be too.
I too agree... by rutgersjaffo	May 4th, 2008 09:19:19 PM
Why mess with perfection? I love the originals here. Leave The Thing, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Crazies ALONE! Come up with YOUR OWN IDEAS!!!!
The only way this film will get my money is if... by Kirbymanly	May 4th, 2008 10:49:21 PM
They cast Diora Baird as the female lead. Imagine the swimsuit... (drooling, drooling)

Wrong. Kong 2005 sucked.
The original was so good by godzillasushi	May 5th, 2008 08:29:03 AM
I wouldn't mind this remake if only it gets more people to watch the original. Scared the hell outta me when I was younger. Still kind of does. Exposing a new audience to that would be great. At least until they find out it's black and white, and want to jump off a roof.
Kong 2005 Should Have Started by kevinwillis.net	May 5th, 2008 10:28:22 AM
With them getting to the island. A little pre-amble with the map and chatting about the film makers legal and financial troubles, all done in under 5 minutes, and then we're done. All the exposition in the first hour accomplished nothing. Can't recreate the exposition of the classic Kong, so why try? Just get right to the giant monkey.
Creature From the Black Lagoon Might Be Cool by kevinwillis.net	May 5th, 2008 10:29:38 AM
Best thing about Kong 2005 was that they set it back in the original time frame. If The Creature of the Black Lagoon is set in the 50s, they've already done one thing right, in my book.
One thing that King Kong remake gave us... by Darth Macchio	May 5th, 2008 11:13:23 AM
..was the fucking mind blowing hottness of Jessica Lange back in '76. If you don't believe me go and watch it again. Years before the aeorbics and years before "Daisy Dukes" and the sheer crazy hottness and beauty of Jessica Lange was all over the screen. Plus...she's a very talented actor which makes her a pleasure to watch on pretty much all levels. Granted, she's done some crazy roles very good justice and thus seems a little crazy herself and I realize I'm being horribly shallow here but I don't give a shit. She's perfect in that movie...perfect.
Cthulhu of the Black-lagoon? by Pumpkinjoe	May 5th, 2008 06:21:38 PM
It would be awesome if they added a little H.P.L. to the story line..."Deep Ones" maybe?
Ether... by JohnIan	May 5th, 2008 08:12:29 PM
I've been busy, couldn't post it until now. Anyhow went looking in my archive. Found production artwork from one of the aborted 1990s remakes. http://tinyurl.com/63w9ty
At least we don't need a "Revenge Of The Creature" Remake... by Kirbymanly	May 6th, 2008 02:10:07 AM
That was Jaws 3-D
