noo.. i mean i hate the people who hate on ben

i love the guy
 
and his new flick.. his directorial debut is supposed to be pretty amazing
 
just watched the trailer, it looks really good.
There was talk of Ben trying to go into politics, the nice thing is he knows what he talks about, so could do a good job

i was thinking about this last week but couldnt remember the name of it , definately needs a remake.
 
I would like to see a remake of "DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW" I think that movie was really cool.
 
Sorry didn't clarify. 2 new remakes announced or rumord: Karate Kid and Thirst. They are not ones I want to see.
 
Remakes are good if done right. With each new generation the expecations from new films are raised higher and higher. While we all love the originals the new generations are growing up without them, and while they can buy them on DVD some are only fun to watch for historical significance. Like watching the 1933 King Kong, or the original Scarface. It's not like they're remaking these films scene for scene. They're updating them, and attempting to improve on them if possible. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. It's not like all "non-remakes" are great films. I'd rather see a remake of Fantastic Voyage then watch another original Steven Segal mess. Also sometimes the original film's story and production years ago was limited to the film technology of it's time. Imagine the Incredible Shriking man if given a big budget today. That's why I'm so excited to see Fantastic Voyage and yes even Ant-Man. I love that stuff.
 
I was really excited when it was anounced that Brad Anderson (Session 9, The Machinist) was remaking The Crazies. Because the Crazies has a great premise, it's just that the movie was terrible. It's too bad the project fell through.

Where was this logic and reasoning during our discussions on remakes? Alot of that is sounding very familiar :yay:
