The Mad American Wrote:Nice. And yeah, I was excited about The Thing prequel but after seeing the trailers and reading about it some, it is pretty much a remake of the Carpenter/Russell version with woman added. A total waste.
AlvinFox Wrote:No, studios don't want to do new original movies. That's why The Dark Tower is no longer being made and At the Mountains of Madness was passed over.
Okay, it because the studios didn't want to put a whole bunch of money forward for an unproven product.
RootsReggae Wrote:They canceled that dark tower!!! Sweet now that frees up Ron Howard to destroy Dan Brown's third Robert Langdon novel. YAY!
Ken Valentine Wrote:That'll be the death of the movie industry -- for me at least -- especially if they make idiotic movies about cowboys and aliens.

Lisa Wrote:Yeah, that's true, Scott. Sometimes remakes are done right. The biggest difference I see is the period of time now that passes between versions. It used to be 20 or more years, but now it's just a few before someone decides we need a "reboot." How many versions of The Hulk or Spiderman do we need? Yikes.I have specific criteria for whether a movie should be remade or rebooted and they are: taking a poorly made film based on a good idea or an older one that would benefit from modern movie making capabilities.
