The Mask

[Stanley Ipkiss]

Yes, Some Mask People, Big Fans, Go to www.tfaw.com and u can get the special edition hardcover or the mask and the mask returns for like 20 bucks

i like russel's idea to have made an explosive comedy cause if they made a sin city shot for shot adaptation, nobody would've gone to see it, it would have been like a nobody movie that only hard core fans wouldve actualy watched

 

[Spike_x1]

That's why Sin City failed at the box office, is it?

 

[TwilightPro101]

Wouldn't say SIN failed at the box office since the studio wants a sequel.

 

[Mr. Socko]

There was also a House of The Dead sequel to the masterpiece Uwe Boll made, so that doesn't hold much merit.




But Sin City did good in theaters and even better on DVD.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Yeah, proof that the studios really don't care unless they can bank off of something.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Only Lord knows how anyone could bank off a Bloodrayne 2 and House of The Dead 2.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Don't honestly know on that one, but somehow they are.

Exactly. I was pointing out the flaw in Stanley Ipkiss' logic through sarcasm. Ha. Ha.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Lord knows they gave THE MASK an awful sequel. I bought it, watched it and put it up on Ebay the next day.

 

[Spike_x1]

Well, even if it was lighter in tone, I think Jim Carrey's The Mask was a great adaptation of the comics.

It was indeed a good movie, but it was NOT a good adaptation of the comics. There's a difference.

 

[TwilightPro101]

A HUGE difference. It stepped away from the violence and anger of the original material.

Don't get me wrong but I love both. Actually became a fan because of the movies.

I'd love to see them bring the Mask back ala the comic like they had originally planned.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Yeah, it would be cool to have a new version of The Mask. Perhaps a really, REALLY dark comedy, something akin to American Psycho.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

i woudltn complain about a remake at all...if it was good i mean lol

Definately going for that R rating.

 

[Spike_x1]

I'm just hoping that we get to see hints to the Mask's past onscreen sometime in the future, like the medieval weapons that Big-Head popped out of nowhere once in a while, and the sequence where Big-Head is ritualistically decapitated and puts his own head back on.

None of that bulls**t Loki/Norse God crap.

 

[TwilightPro101]

I doubt we'll get a second chance yet. Right now, it seems like the fan films are winning out. Though I wouldn't rule out another film.

 

[Spike_x1]

Anyone have any thoughts on who could possibly play Walter if we ever get to see an actual adaptation of the comics someday in the near future?

 

[TwilightPro101]

That's an interesting casting dileema. Very interesting.

 

[Spike_x1]

Minimal acting's required, I believe. Since Walter never speaks, all the actor would have to do is be incredibly freakin' huge and have a menacing stare, and at times have that sick smile while self-mutilating.

A pro wrestler would probably be the best choice, IMO. I don't know wrestlers at all, so someone else could probably find a good candidate much better than I could.
