Iron Man 2 Movie Comic Con Footage Leaked

watch while it's there

Pretty cool.
The scene where Tony's arguing charismatically with a government panel while the onlookers cheer for him is exactly like what happened when Howard Hughes was being grilled about war profiteering.

Also, was that Omega Red?

[Reply #201 on:]

Spartacus - Blood and Sand

looks like a mix of Gladiator and 300 + more gore

[Reply #202 on:]

Awesome.
Reminds me of the Rome series too, orgies ftw!

[Reply #203 on:]

oh yah, Rome forgot about that

[Reply #204 on:]

These are not all films I'm looking forward to. In fact, many of them make me furious.

Further evidence that nobody in Hollywood is capable of a single original idea, 55 movie remakes currently in the works .

[Reply #205 on:]

Ooh, remake of Logan's Run, that'll be interesting.
Also, Avatar teaser in 50 minutes

[Reply #206 on:]

the worsts on the list:

Metropolis
Akira
The Karate Kid
The Birds
Oldboy
Logan’s Run
Sympathy For Lady Vengeance
Rashomon

the others are bad too... but remaking Metropolis? you got to be kidding

[Reply #207 on:]

The Karate Kid is going to be named Kung Fu Kid, too. At least Jaden Smith knows martial arts.

[Reply #208 on:]

Remaking The Forbidden Planet is like taking a shit on God's face.

[Reply #209 on:]

Just watched the French trailer for Avatar. Looks ok. I don't see what the big deal is though.

Which reminds me:

Zemeckis to helm "Yellow Submarine" remake. This could either be awesome or horrible.


Oh, and didn't notice this a year ago:

Jason Segal and the Muppets?!!!?!!!?!1?!/1?!1?!11?1112


On Avatar: it looks brilliant and awesome, but am I the only one who think some of the animation for the Na'vi could be a little better?

[Reply #213 on:]

They're remaking Red Dawn? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

[Reply #214 on:]

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/avatar/hd/

Awesome.

Ehhhh

[Reply #215 on:]

I'll show ye... by going to the free 15 min preview tonight, after I'll be all "oh chay, it was so wonderful and amazing" and you'll be all "nuh uh because I know because I saw the trailer... because" but then I'll be all like "trailer? PAH! BAH! MEH! you ain't seen nothin boyo!" and you'll be all "waaah! boo hoo!" and crying and stuff and then you'll probably fall over and curl into the fetal position and I'll steal your wallet and run off.

[Reply #216 on:]

I have a ticket for that, just to see if I could get one. But I can't go because the theater is in northern Toronto.

I'd *like* to think that a "good" adaption of The Jetsons might be okay, but its hard to see Hollywood doing anything except completely ruining it. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a decent version of Dune or a modern take on Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World either, but I'm not holding my breath.

I see that (another remake of) A Christmas Carol is coming out soon. Why?

[Reply #220 on:]

a modern take on Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Rat Race was basically it. And it wasn't great.  But a proper remake with Seth Rogan in it would probably be good.

[Reply #221 on:]

Rat Race was so bad it almost gave me cancer!

Testicular cancer?

[Reply #225 on:]

I don't have them, so that would be a neat trick.

[Reply #226 on:]

I could see The Dirty Dozen with Dwayne Johnson in it.Remaking Metropolis would be like sticking a knife in Fritz Lang's heart. All that Art Deco imagery would probably get tossed.In order to make serious Hollywood money they would have to put a 'plosion and a couple nekkid babes in it.That would get the 12-15 male demographic to see it.
"The Birds" remake would get Hitchcock spinning around like a top.I would never see the remake.
"Last Tango in Paris"WITH TOM CRUISE.ROTFLMAO.Can Katie Holmes handle the Maria Schneider role.Will anyone believe her?Can anyone stomach Tom Cruise in Brando's role?
I can see Rose McGowan as Barbarella if they cast Marilyn Manson as Durand- Durand.

BTW didn't Futurama do the first remake of "Fantastic Voyage"
With only a very few changes "Parasites Lost"

There was Innerspace from 1987 which, as far as I can recall, was essentially an updated Fantastic Voyage.

That was said half facetiously. I was sure there some imitators over the past 30 odd years.
But can you really believe what you read in the Wikipedia?

[Reply #229 on:]

I remember Innerspace. I think it won an Oscar. Which is funny because it was kind of stupid.

[Reply #230 on:]

Yes Best visual effects.Well if it can be stupid and funny and win an Oscar,that is the best kind of stupid to be.

[Reply #231 on:]

"Feeling stupid!? I know I am!!"

The whole idea of shrinking people is kind of comedic in scientifically enlightened times. People could swallow it as serious sci-fi in 1966, but not so much now.

[Reply #232 on:]

with nanotechnology the virtual Planet Express ship and crew may not be so farfetched in a few years time.They can already engineer a virus.This is cutting edge stuff.i'm sure it is only around the corner.

[Reply #233 on:]

Nanotechnology is the future. Although for levels of sophistication beyond molecule machines with one or two functions only, you'd probably be looking at Picotechnology, which is a few centuries away.

Slipped off topic.

Has anybody mentioned that there's a live-action Ghost in the Shell in the works?

Dreamworks has it.

I just watched the avatar trailer (both video game and movie) Honestly I don't see what all the hype is about, the game looks craptastic and the movie looks decent but not mindblowing.

You know, you can't always judge things by the trailers. I think it looks pretty awesome.
