The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I just found a trailer. http://www.enprimeur.ca/player/enhancePl...ame=thefog
Couldn't get it to run well at work, but it looks almost like a shot by shot remake. How pointless!!

He directed "Stigmata," which I didn't hate. Still, "The Fog" does not need to be remade.

Yeah, anyway, John Carpenter's movies are all perfect. They don't need remake!

I happen to like The Fog a lot more!!! So stop the Fog bashing!!!! :mad:
John Carpenter is the man!
Actually I really did dig The Fog big time. For me it's one of Carpenter's most underrated films. It's not my favorite Carpenter, but it's a good one. I liked The Keep only because it was supposed to be based on a great book. It was great to see certain elements of that book on film. I wouldn't say it was a good movie (I was being sarcastic in an earlier post). I'd like to see The Keep made with care to the story and characters and less care about fog. As far as Remaking The Fog, it'll make some people some money, but I really don't think Carpenter has that "thing" he used to have. He was once great at making great low-budget horror. He was great at developing characters and allowing them to carry the film adding his trademark stuff to up the thrill factor. He seems to have slipped a little into being a low-budget f/x movie guy. Low budget, crappy f/x, crappy actors, crappy story and no matter how much I love Carpenter's work, crappy film. The last Carpenter film that I really dug enought o watch more than once was Escape From L. A.. It had some crap factor, but the Snake Plissken character is just so cool that I could overlook a lot of B. S. and really enjoy the film. I'd like to see JC go to a more basic type of film. He needs a basic storyline, a basic set, and a character driven film. His best films are ALL character driven.
Halloween, Escape 1&2, They Live, The Thing, BTILC, and Assault were all great because of the great characters (whether the acting was good or bad).I'd like to see JC break out one more.
