Is originality dead? by Shan	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:18:24 AM
This is just bizarre. What are they going to be doing 10 years from now? Remaking the remakes? At this point, asking for a film set in the future of the Matrix trilogy is heading towards a welcome new development, given the alternatives (remakes, remakes and more remakes) ...
3 types of modern films: by pencil-man	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:19:59 AM
comedies, fantasies, and biopics. Good thing you can't remake thrillers, because Sea Of Love is pretty good.

this could completely suck ass, but dwayne johnson is sort of awesome in all his movies. and annasophia robb is an amazing actress.
Originality by chewyou812	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:30:31 AM
has become too risky in the eyes of Hollywood executives. Why take a chance on an unproven product when the American public has already proven it will spend more money on a regular basis on recycled goods. Maybe I'm wrong, but in my mind this is the only theory that makes sense. How else you do explain things like Nutty Professor 3 (in development), Big Mommas House 2, or Cheaper by the Dozen 2? Those weren't even sequels anyone was asking for and yet, if memory serves me right, 30 million dollars worth of morons paid to see Big Momma's House 2 on it's openning weekend.

film was made as long ago as 1913 and was called The witch Mountain.
DerLanghaarige by chewyou812	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:40:10 AM
If you take into account indies & films in limited release you're probably not too far off on that ratio. However I'll use my neighborhood multiplex as an example to counter. With 14 screens they are currently running 10 films, 4 of which are sequels (Quantum of Solace, Highschool Musical 3, Madagascar Ecape 2 Africa, and Transporter 3). Incase you're bad with math, that's 40% of the films playing.
Oh come on by yodalovesyou	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:44:03 AM

Hey! Who blew the top off Devil's Tower??? by YotzVonFrelnik	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:49:35 AM
Cool poster. Reminds me a bit though of Close Encounters' Devil's Tower shot and for some reason, The Amazing Race.
Biggest Product Placement Ever by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 3rd, 2008 08:51:14 AM
Disney's not even subtle about it. The cab has a Space Mountain ad on the roof. Like anyone else who's ever been to Disney World I've ridden it despit the urban legend, which could be true, that somene stood up on it, and decapitated themselves.
COPYRIGHT THEFT: Close Encouters or what!?!?! by silentbobafett2	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:11:12 AM
That space ship is directly from it and people racing toa mountain? I don't know anything about this project or its history. But fromt hat total rip off of a poster - I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!

Yeah Spielberg and co need to sue over by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:24:40 AM
that as well. Take away the cab and faces, and it's Close Encounters. Maybe they need to stick Richard Dreyfuss' head in the poster. If they kept the ages the same it would have been cool to see Dreyfuss driving a Winnebago.
Nice poster...but LOOK AT THE BILLING BLOCK by NivekJ	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:25:53 AM
The crdits are all screwed up; what's the deal? Is this a fake?
race??? by oojamaflip	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:42:32 AM
escape, escape, ESCAPE!!!! to witch mountain! whats all this 'race to' nonsense?..... they were trying to get home. on the way they get picked up by an old man (the sidekick from airwolf) and spend a jolly time in a campervan... very paedophillic nowerdays. This poster seems to allude to them riding in a taxi.... i hope he's called Travis...
Isn't Carla Gugino in this? by Thrillho77	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:43:44 AM
If so, why isn't she front and center on the poster - with a soaking wet, low cut top revealing ample bosoms?
Gaze by oojamaflip	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:50:43 AM

Such a plant-y contribution! hahaha by Ray Gamma	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:53:08 AM

I think this is a fake.... by The Eskimo	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:59:31 AM
...and a pretty damn good one. But if you look closely at the bottom/center where the little support bar comes up you can see the photo-shop lines around the edge and where the "1" meets the frame. The image itself maybe "real" but I don't think the sign is. Maybe someone with more knowledge of this kind of thing can correct me though...

Too bad Dwayne by skimn	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:40:52 AM

so what's the official line on this? by Bouncy X	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:42:20 AM
is it a remake/reboot or a sequel? because some places say the original kids play the same roles and are these new kids parents or something, but other places simple imply they just have cameos and arent playing their original roles.
Check out the MPAA rating in the billing block... by CerebralAssassin	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:49:10 AM
...there isn't one! Just an empty box. What does that tell you?
Means the MPAA hasn't seen it yet by Big Jim	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:55:02 AM
I'm guessing PG-13 (Stylized Violence and Mild Language)
Wrong, Big Jim!!!!!! by CerebralAssassin	Dec 3rd, 2008 11:01:33 AM
It means 1) the poster's a fake or 2) it's an unfinished version without a final billing block. Either way, the whole thing should be taken with a grain of salt.
DWAYNE JOHNSON IS SUPERMAN. by Shermdawg	Dec 3rd, 2008 11:08:33 AM
Don't cast for the reboot until you see how much bank this flick will bring in WB, Dwayne's your guy.
Poster is real! And ANNA SOPHIA ROBB looks HOT! by Alex Mack	Dec 3rd, 2008 11:28:09 AM
1. This is a REAL poster. 2. Anna Sophia Robb has all the earmarks of being one of the hottest girls in the near future. 3. What's wrong with REMAKES? I thought BATMAN BEGINS was a good remake of previous Batman films. 4. What's wrong with SEQUELS? I though TDK was a good sequel to BATMAN BEGINS.
CerebralAssassin, I'm guessing #2 by Big Jim	Dec 3rd, 2008 11:30:49 AM
But you've got me thinking. I think it was Sin City that, about a month before it was released, the TV commercials had a tag at the end stating "this film is not yet rated" meaning the MPAA had not yet signed off on it. Which would mean any posters for the film before that time would not have had a rating. However, I think the posters simply lacked the rating, and didn't (like the one above) have a blank box where the rating would be. If it is real, I think perhaps someone goofed and released the version that would eventually contain the rating instead of the intended version with no hint of rating. Shermdawg, Dwayne Johnson can not be Superman as he must be Kraven the Hunter in Spider-man 4.
How is atman Begins a remake? by mh79	Dec 3rd, 2008 11:36:21 AM
what a stupid piece of news for a stupid poster of what will be a stupid film. That poster looks like every other poster for that type of film, and some jerk named after a disney character, turned his car around to take a picture of it outside the Disney Studio. And how is batman Begins a remake?

I know you say otherwise, but the role of Clark Kent/Superman is reserved for Jon Hamm. Whether he knows it or not.
That brother & sister look a little too chummy by Kentucky Colonel	Dec 3rd, 2008 12:07:36 PM

Alex Mack..Anna Sophia Robb Hot in the near future? by conspiracy	Dec 3rd, 2008 12:45:50 PM
Come on guys..lets be honest here..thats like people saying.."I knew Alyssa Milano was GOING to be hot when she got older, after seeing her on Who's the Boss" I call bullshit..you closet pedos thought she was HOT right there and then and just couldn't bring yourself to admit it! So I'll say what you hyporite, faux moralist cowards won't...and I'll say it without any qualifiers...Alyssa was hot at 14..and this Anna Sophia Robb girl is hot right now at 15 and I only hope this film involves a torrid lesbo alien love scene between her and the cougarlicious Ms. Richards. Now where are my pics of Kim ca. "Hello Larry"... ;)
Harry, et al.... by conspiracy	Dec 3rd, 2008 12:48:57 PM

DerLanghaarige by yodaismyhomie	Dec 3rd, 2008 01:02:06 PM
Also keep in mind that many of the "original" movies that are playing each week are often rehashes of older films. Some people only consider it a remake if it has the same title. I consider it a remake if it's the same essential story. Take Cruel Intentions as an example...that was essentially a remake of Dangerous Liaisons but everyone thought it was new and original. Boy were they fooled. So, I would disagree with your assessment of there being 7 times as many original movies as there are remakes. BUT! I would also say there aren't as many remakes as we would be led to believe by most of the talkbacks on here.
alex mack "going" to be hot? by Bouncy X	Dec 3rd, 2008 01:12:42 PM
ummm she's almost 30 so i think its safe to say she's hot already. but to defend the so called "perv thinking" when people say that...in my case, i never deny i think the girl is cute if not hot already, i'm just saying if she's already this good looking, then she can only be hotter when she's older. so in the case of Miss Robb, she's very very cute...more evidence that i was a teenage at the wrong time since nobody looked that good when i was her age. but anyway yeah, she's cute now and can only get hotter with time. and as for Alyssa Milano, she didnt hit "hot" til she was 16 or 17. she was a cute kid in the early seasons but there's a reason she didnt become the "it girl of 80s tv" until she was in her mid teens.
wow, reading is so useful by Bouncy X	Dec 3rd, 2008 01:16:22 PM
so i dont read every post but in this case i shoulda, i realized the alex mack reference was to a talkbacker's name and not the old tv show as my blonde mind thought. but the rest of my rant still applies. lol
That looks totally Close Encounters of the Third Kind for Kids by Dogmatic	Dec 3rd, 2008 01:28:50 PM

DerLanghaarige, in regards to your 75% by chewyou812	Dec 3rd, 2008 01:58:06 PM
You're probably right as to their release date. However, the problem that people have when they complain about lack of originality is that they're not exposed to originality. 3 of the last 5 films to open at #1 were sequels. And as to my point of my local multiplex showing 40% sequels, you have to understand that most of the country lives in smaller markets where they are not exposed to independent films with original concepts. The gripe amongst us who wine about originality isn't that nobody is offering originality, but that Hollywood or should I say main stream Hollywood isn't offering it. Accessability to original films and film makers is often lackluster at best until films hit dvd & blu ray, and let's face it, you don't see block buster advertising the indies or the cult films too often. Do you?
The 34 year old spoiler by Gregorso	Dec 3rd, 2008 02:03:08 PM
Wasn't the alien aspect supposed to be the "surprise twist" in the original film? (hence the kids are mistaken for witches?) I know it was a long time ago, but the poster kind of spoils it for today's kids who never saw the original.
Starring... by U-Stu.com	Dec 3rd, 2008 02:11:36 PM
...The Rock with the same look on his face as every other picture of him, that emotionless girl from that one movie, some boy that fades into the mix, and a completely unoriginal UFO. Child actors used to be good (Stand By Me, E.T., The Little Rascals).

Batman Begins is not a remake by Alex Mack	Dec 3rd, 2008 03:07:28 PM
You're right, Batman Begins is not a remake. But, it's just another VERISON of a Batman film. Just like alot of the other "so call" remakes out there. They're not remakes or sequels, but new versions/ takes of certain characters.
conspiracy-ANNASOPHIA IS HOT! by Alex Mack	Dec 3rd, 2008 03:17:19 PM
I said she IS HOT. But, I also said she has earmarks of being one of the hottest girls in the future. Therefore, she's not super hot just yet. Just like Natalie Portman was hot in the professional, but got really hot as she grew older. And I can appreciate when I see a teenage girl looking beyond pretty, which equals hot. It's like if you saw a ugly teenage girl, you just KNOW she's ugly. Just because a girl isn't 18 and still a teenager, does that mean she can't be pretty or hot? That's like saying a girl can't be ugly if she's under 18 too. ANNASOPHIA wasn't desirable when she was in Wily Wonka or those other films, but NOW that she's looking OLDER, I can easily see her being the next Natalie Portman, except she won't be a bi-sexual wanna be lez like Nat is. 0_o
The poster looks good by Alex Mack	Dec 3rd, 2008 03:23:49 PM
It actually has some artistic qualities to it. Unlike a bunch of other posters which are just photographs that were cut and paste over a black empty background.
Alex..good to see we are on the same page. by conspiracy	Dec 3rd, 2008 03:27:50 PM
And if Annasophia has a flaw..it is that she isn't yet a would be bi-sexual/lez like the no doubt hot from puberty,fap-tasic NatP is. Still...I won't see this film unless aformentioned Disney style Annasophia/Kim Richards girl on girl action happens.
The other problem by Valin Kenobi	Dec 3rd, 2008 04:05:22 PM
is that "Dwayne Johnson" is not a particularly awe-inspiring movie poster moniker. He should stick with "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson" or split the difference to "The Rock Johnson" or something...

Where are Carla Gugino's tits? by Leafar the Lost	Dec 3rd, 2008 06:03:31 PM
The only reason to watch "Bitch Mountain", and I am refering to Dwayne Johnson as the Bitch, is to see Carla Gugino's tits. I must have watched "Sin City" 100 times just for that one scene. There are bigger ones out there, but I have yet to see a pair as perfect. If the poster showed a picture of Carla in some tight outfit, then it would definately increase opening weekend ticket sales. HOWEVER, a picture of the Rock and two kids just isn't doing it for me. No Carla Gugino tits equals no box office success.

The Eskimo and Jawa007... by conspiracy	Dec 3rd, 2008 09:31:33 PM
Where do you buy your crack? So younger women are not hot? 15 is a "child"? Considering that in most of Asia and Europe you are a consenting adult at 16 and off too college...my wife started her 5yr engineering degree at 16... there are quite a few that would disagree as to 15 being a "child". As to the sexuality/hottness of these women..all I can ask is..How do you EVER watch a film, read a magazine, or surf the net?! This industry has been utilizing the sexuality of sub 18yr old women from day one. Admit it...there has been at LEAST one time you found a woman under 18 attractive..don't lie to us or yourselves. Really..I thought this hyper-moral fascism died with Jerry Falwell.

...I think plenty of girls under 18 are attractive. I just refrain (sometimes, failing I'll admit) from thinking about them in a sexual way after I turned age 20 or so. The basis behind my previous comment was more of a reflecion on some of the above posts being a bit on the perverted side. But, hey if you're still a teenager then I have no problem with it. Man, I miss those days...

ANNASOPHIA IS PRETTY! by Earthquake WestCoast	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:13:32 PM
ANNASOPHIA IS PRETTY! I don’t care that she’s 15yrs old. I think She’s a very pretty girl. Does that mean I want to marry her or something? Nope. Now, My great grandparents got married at 16yrs old. For over two thousand years getting married at 15 or 16 yrs old was considered the norm. It’s STILL the norm in MOST OF THE WORLD. Including the U.K. I believe. Even Jesus’ mother was only 15 yrs old when she got married. Personally I don’t find anything wrong with finding a 15 or 16 yrs old girl attractive. If I was given a choice between finding a 16 yrs old girl attractive or finding a person my age from the same sex attractive, well I would pick the 16yrs old girl EVERY TIME. It’s more natural to find females attractive than people from your same sex.

I'm a bigot? Maybe, but then again, my BEST FRIEND IS GAY! Just because I'm against and don't approve of certain things he does makes me a bigot? I'm also against people having sex with kids, does that make me a bigot against those people? I'm against people taking drugs, does that make me a bigot against those people? I'm against war, does that make me a bigot against soldiers? I'm against people getting drunk. Does that make me a bigot against them? Nope. I'm against the certain acts that people do, not the person themselves. People aren't perfect. I understand that. I'm not even close to perfect. I understand that too. There's a difference about being prejudice against people and not approving on things they do. If I was prejudice, then I wouldn't even have a best friend who was gay. Or, I wouldn't even hang out with any of my friends, who all happen to be atheist. Now would I? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Otherwise who would they have to drive them home after they get drunk, so they don't harm anyone, including themselves. Or who would they have to stop them from hitting on women who has their boyfriends, that look like THE ROCK, standing right next to them?
