I know I hate remakes, :twisted:
-
tut tut tut [-X unbelievable
-
Saw a poster on bus stop yesterday and wondered myself ! :(
Original was cracking movie !
-
In the original the cop, played by a young Edward Woodward (?) was a virgin, it was sort of essential to the plot. Nicholas Cage playing a virgin :lol:
-
So who want's to start the list off of American cr*p films copied poorly from great british ones ?
The Italian Job
Lord of the Flys
Titanic ... Cameron's version..( Best british version was "A night to remember" with Kenneth Moore )
Solaris... George Clooney ( Russian original far superior )
Go on... thats just a few to get us started...
-
why are there 4 d's in Edward Woodward?
because it would be Ewar woowar...
-
the one saving grace I can see here is its a Nick Cage movie but after fiasco's like the italian job (set in LA whats that all about :?: ) Get Carter with sly stalone(Durrrr aaaaadrian there shooting at me :? ) amongst others I'm not getting my hopes up

I'm just waiting for the Battle of Britain (1969) to be remade by the Americans to make it look like the Americans were what saved us all on their own in the Battle of Britain. :roll:
-
War of the worlds
The time machine
The ladykillers
Gone in sixty seconds
all ruined :cry:

Well they say they won the war single handedly anyway (take U235 for example) so why should we start doubting them now
:roll:
-
for some reason these people think they can make them better, how deluded can they get
-
At least the 'hero' get's burned alive at the end of the wicker man, so that's something to look foreward to (not a fan of nick cage you see).
Oh, add Get Carter to the list, classic original, crap remake.
The (Italian?) job, what a travisty but then the yanks never got into the original.
Thomas Crown affair, good remake, I like the slick slight-of-hand execution of the robbery, but the original was still a 'better' film.
Often I think it's whichever film you see first is the one you prefer, but hollywud is really scraping the barrel a bit at the moment, not that I think the Wicker man was a bad film, far from it, but take away al the subtlety and acting that the ynaks don't seem to get and you have a pretty weak tale to tell.
And how on earth will they get the action-packed car chase into it :roll:
-
It's not often that they do a good remake I think they should of left The Whicker Man alone, there can't be that many films left to remake whats next The deliverance

sorry saw the thread and thought it was something to do with me TRADE.....BOB knows

Gone in sixty seconds, was american the first time as well, and was made with no special camera trickery, half the time the roads where public.
Saw the making of the first film, they were nuts. 8)

There is a remake of War-Of-the-Worlds in progress. Jeff Wayne gave permission for some of the Musical to be in there with the original storyline and then after seeing the first cut, pulled the permission, hence why the Prologue is almost but not quite the Musicals prologue.
Jeff Wayne has another company tied up into a film of the Musical version :)

Worst remake EVER has got to be the French film Nikita remade as The Assassin with one of the Fonda women.
The original was very dark, forbiding and scary. The remake was very bland. It would have been OK if you hadnt seen the french version
