Escape from New York (Remake)

^ I don't care about the book. The guy is a creative talent. If I didn't read the book and I watch the movie and enjoy it...awesome. If I read the book later and it's better...its' not gonna make me dislike the movie. They're separate. Too many people trash films based on the source instead of the films own merit.

What's your point? Are you saying Matthew cannot portray a selfish character. LOL I'm done arguing. If you don't think he looks the part or don't think he's right for the role whatever but...that argument is weak. So you're saying only actors who have portrayed selfish anti-heroes in the past can do it again? Please tell me how those actors got their first job then. LOL Good bye. I'm done with this argument but I'll be happy to talk about other actors for the role.

Thats fine because your not reading my posts anyways, im simply saying that Matt isnt convincing enough because of his acting style. There are two others here arguing against him being snake as well and all your arguments fall flat.

Just like when Sahara was brought up against you, you just dismissed it and kept arguing and said that wasn't a good movie and proved nothing.

Damn double posts.

Sarah had several action sequences and Matt was the lead action hero, it was intended to be a franchise.

Ditto. I'd love that director of Night Watch/Wanted to get this gig. I'd crap myself and post the pic here.

Ewwwwwwwww

What did you think of the Wanted trailer ? Ive been wanting to hear more non fanboy views.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Mostow is a good choice for this. I think T3 was more of a money grab by Mostow than anything else. Howabout David Twohy to direct. Riddick was too much for him to handle but with a script already in place for EFNY, and with TWOHY's ability to tell a great story even with a bare bones budget it could work.

You know I think that Riddick is a bit underrated it isn't a great film but it is solid. I really dug Twohy's style, the ultra wireworky action scenes may not have been everyones cup of tea but I enjoyed them. I think that he would be a fine director for this project.

Matt Damon I can't see at all. He's too Progeria looking. Guy Pearce...nahhh. Clive...not right either. Mark Wahlberg...maybe but he looks funky with long hair. Of course they might not try to make him look like Kurt at all and reimagine the character visually.

Well my point is why are we trying to go so literaly with the interpretation, why not get people who have been excellent action actors in the past take the role and do what ever they want with it, cause if you go for a literal interpretation even if the actor does a servicable job, its still not going to come close

Hunter Rider, I loved the Wanted books, I think the trailer looks great however doesn't look close..but I am not a faithful adaptation ****e I think its good to lift some ideas etc..

 

[tyler-durden]

he could probably do a good job, I really liked Riddick, the story wasn't the greatest thing, but the visuals were fantastic.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Ewwwwwwwww

my thoughts exactly...i saw Night Watch and it was visually stunning, but the story, writing, and acting had me snoozing. Day Watch looked like more of the same (emphasis on visuals, not enough on story and acting). i can imagine Wanted will be similar...


...so that's a NO from me.

Y'know, I think Josh Holloway should play Snake Plisskin in the remake. I think he'll make a good Snake. Wasn't to keen about Butler as Snake anyways. New Line should hire him a.s.a.p.!!!

You'd get banned.

I hope this project falls apart now. Mostow needs to escape too.

 

[tyler-durden]

I think Halloway has the look someone do a manip of him him with an eyepatch.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Halloway just looks so feminine in every shot.

 

[Hunter Rider]

AD, just youtube Sawyer, he is far from feminine.

 

[nocomics]

just read on darkhorizons that butler is not doing escape due to creative differances..what ya's think..

 

[tyler-durden]

They couldn't let him keep his accent

 

[DorkyFresh]

riiiiiigggghhhttt.....protruding chins and facial hair is sooooooo feminine.



i dunno what kinda chicks you're into, but the majority of straight males prefer their females with softer features and little to no facial hair.

So I guess one only needs a scruffy face to be a man and play this role. God if only these "men" could act:

for starters, just cause someone is gay doesn't make them any less manly, nor does that mean they couldn't act manly

and secondly, if George Michael wasn't gay he would probably destroy every guy times 100 put together in the who gets the most ***** contest, so show some respect

but i don't want Holloway ether, I think Lost is kind of a diseased show in general and he being one of the more flat and annoying characters

 

[Advanced Dark]

You mean macho.

 

[Midnhtsun]

Advanced just like to come up with crap reasons against holloway, he has been spouting about how "feminine" Holloway is. He hasn't even seen him on Lost, so don't bother arguing him on this. He is too narrow minded to even consider anyone else's posts unless it falls inline with his thinking. I'm sure he thought ghost rider was oscar worthy.

wow, what an idiotic post. i'm sorry...i don't like flaming people, but that post just calls for it. it's stupid to confuse sexual orientation with masculine APPEARANCE and it's stupid of you to have to resort to posting gay males as an argument to how stubble and strong facial features wouldn't make someone APPEAR masculine.

seriously, it's dumb enough to argue against stubble making ANYONE look MORE masculine, but you just went over the deep end of "******ed" posting pictures of gay guys that still look masculine. sans Lance Bass, those men STILL look masculine despite their reputation as gay men. congrats....you've officially stooped to the level of a 5th grader. mom would be so proud!

^ That was my whole damn point Dorky if you can read. It seems those believe Holloway is perfect for the role because he's has a scruffy face. Jeez. And the stupid argument that only those who have played a selfish anti-hero are capable of playing a selfish anti-hero again. It's called visual sarcasm.

He is kind of a glam-boy. Sorry but he is. Ghost Rider was Oscar worthy for it's fire effects for sure. As far as acting, directing, or screenplay...uhhhh no.

Ad, firstly those that want Holloway want him b/c of how he plays a very Snake like character brilliantly on LOST, you know this unless you aren't reading our posts. Also actors play and are suited to certain types of roles, hence why no one believe Matthew can do a good Snake, it's not in him.
