The Hitcher remake

[L0ngsh0t]

dammit! Leave that one alone, I love the classic one and the new one probably sucks

I'll give it a chance, for Bay he is 1/2 in my book, I don't know about you guys, but I thought the Amityville Horror was pretty decent for a remake, wasn't to happy with TCM, but i thought there where so okay momments

Some new stills

I saw the trailer and it looks like crap. It looks like the truck scene was reversed for this movie at least.

This could be good because sean bean is in it. BTW, is that girl the same one as in TCM the beginning?

 

[Tempest19]

Does anyone know if there will be a special edition US DVD release of the original around the same time the remake is released in theaters?

I know that past 'remake' films have done this, rereleasing or releasing special editions of the originals in promotion with or to make a cheap buck with the release of the remake.

I know there is an R2 2-disk special edition, could this come to the US?

Any details you may have would be greatly appreciated.

And- check this out: Uncut trailer

No, it's Sofia Bush from One Tree Hill.

Trailer didn't do anything for me, but I'll still be renting it for Sean Bean. Always nice to see him, even if he's slashing throats and killing innocent people and what not.

i remember when i saw the original with my mom... i laughed and laughed until the end (and don't worry, i wont give it away to all you Hitcher virgins)


i was horrified.
absolutely horrified.

i bet they're going to remake it different. that way you don't leave feeling all sad.... LAME!!! and blasphemous i might add.

i say leave it alone.

 

[Red Mask]

I saw the trailer. Very stylish. But I wonder if it's the guy who gets torn apart this time?

Anyway, I think they should make a Hitcher vs Punisher movie. The villain who can't be stopped versus the vigilante who will hunt you down.

New poster and stills

 

[Matt]

I'd just like to point out Sean Bean is in it. That alone makes it worthy of a chance in my eyes.

Well, what would a horror movie be without the pointless empowerment of the female lead?

 

[Darth Elektra]

looks good, and Sean Bean is in it.

looks good, and Sean Bean is in it.

But you also say Hostel and Paul Anderson movies are good :-/

 

[Fanticon]

the trailer gave me goosebumps...it was a packed showing of Blood Diamond...and it was clear that this was the best most intense preview shown. It looks friggin' awesome.

Rip! Rip! Die! Die!

Uh-huh. 3/10

Didn't I see her in Resident Evil?

[Warhammer]

The movie looks good to me.
Also, Sean Bean is in it.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

It looks pretty much exactly like the old movie...only this time the lead is a chick. And they already did that with the Hitcher sequel already....

So I don't see any reason to see it. If if you haven't seen the original or don't even know it's a remake...I guess you can see it

 

[~†~§iX~†~]

why must horror movies always have the girls be the 'save the day' heros.

As the horror genre was most popular with males through the 80s this first stemmed as a popular convention mainly through mizogeny, and the pleasure us guys can get from watching a fantasy woman suffer.

I studied the horror genre for 3 months at university, and even the most bland slasher movie has very interesting psycology going on!......

 

[Carmine Falcone]

The poster isn't even half bad.

The original movie looks cooler though.

 

[Mr. Credible]

if you're 15-25 years old, you've probably never heard of the original anyway, and never would have, if they wouldn't have remade it, so who cares if they remake it?

be honest with yourselves, if this movie was never remade, would you even know what the original was? i'm 23, a fairly big horror movie buff, and i've never, ever heard of the hitcher.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I catched a preview of it on USA after Monday Night RAW, and while it felt like a twisted action film instead of horror, it didn't look too bad.

The couple is driving fast through the desert road, as several cop cars are behind them. Suddenly, Sean Bean's character comes up from behind, in his own muscle car, and systematically destroy's all the cop cars, all while Nine Inch Nail's "Closer" plays in the background.

From what I gathered from the clip, it looks to be kinda bland action/horror fare, with the actual Hitcher character making enough menance to keep the audience interested. Not the best thing ever, but something that'll keep you entertained for an hour and a half or so.
