The Last Sequel and Remake Discussion Thread Part II

[Reply #40 on:]

So apparently my brother + girlfriend are watching the extended version of The Hobbit next door.

"What?! When did this happen!? THAT'S NOT FUNNY!"

[Reply #41 on:]

my brother + girlfriend

^ Heh... eeew. Creepy, but for a second there I thought that "brother + girlfriend" meant that they were the same person.

[Reply #42 on:]

Aw yisss.

I thought Kat meant his girlfriend was next door with his brother!

Also, speaking or remakes, etc.  Am I the only person who did *not* know of the massive collaboration to create a Blu-Ray quality bootleg remake of the original original original original Star Wars film?  With the working title of "Star Wars - Unspecialized" or somesuch?

[Reply #44 on:]

Probably, there's a few hundred fanedits by now, get with the times maaan... even celebrities are doing them, I believe Topher Grace made one 85min film out of the prequels.

The Adywan versions will probably be the best once they're finished: http://swrevisited.wordpress.com/

I want to see that movie.

[Reply #47 on:]

Isn't Britta in Bad Milo?

Anyone seen the new Robocop?   I'm both excited and apprehensive in equal measure.  The original is a big part of my teenagerhood.....  I love that movie.

[Reply #48 on:]

Apparently, my name is said in Grown Ups 2.

What is even better is that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin plays as him

I don't think it comes out until the middle of February here in the states. Looks kind of stupid but it does have Michael Keaton and Samuel L Jackson so...ah it's a toughy.

[Reply #50 on:]

It's a PG-13 / 12a (in the UK), it doesn't bode well....  How is ED209 supposed to blast someones body apart and we enjoy it?   Eh?  EH!?

[Reply #51 on:]

I'm certain that the remake won't manage to be as good as the original, but I'm probably still going to go see it. If only so that I can feel smug about my prediction.

If it's a brilliant remake, then I'll be pleasantly surprised.

[Reply #52 on:]

The trailers looked pretty promising, but I'd've preferred the tone of, say, Dredd, than some teeny toy-flogging fare....

[Reply #53 on:]

So apparently there are supposed to be Star Wars movies coming out every year for the next 40 years. O_O

[Reply #54 on:]

The fan of first 20 "classics" will hate the later 20 "abominations".

No, but I would guess it's more like two trilogies or whatever.

Aww man, some of these comments. "great now starwars will go mainstream", I seriously can't tell if that is a joke or not.

Also, as QNF pointed out, a fanbase similar to the fanbase of The Simpsons will likely form over the next 50 years.

THEY'RE MAKING A GOOSEBUMPS MOVIE. Somebody inform M0le immediately!!!

[Reply #57 on:]

[Reply #58 on:]

That sounds pretty cool, but I still want a Monster Blood movie. Did they do a Monster Blood adaptation when Goosebumps was on TV? I don't remember one...

[Reply #59 on:]

There were two, actually. The second was called More Monster Blood and wasn't based on a book.

[Reply #60 on:]

How I Learned to Fly would actually make a pretty good kids' movie, if done properly.

This one looks like it's just going to be throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

[Reply #61 on:]

WHAT?!

Why am I just learning about this now?!

* Jezzem runs to YouTube.

[Reply #62 on:]

If I recall, More Monster Blood was basically Snakes on a Plane, only with Monster Blood instead of snakes.

[Reply #63 on:]

It seems kind of unnecessary to make a second Monster Blood episode not based on a book considering there were four Monster Blood books.

But still, I can't believe there's been a Monster Blood episode this whole time and I'd never heard about it! What else have you all been keeping from me?!

[Reply #64 on:]

I'm sorry I didn't keep you up to date on episodes of shows that aired in 1996.

[Reply #65 on:]

Apparently Jezzem doesn't know that the internet exists.

[Reply #66 on:]

Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is out!

[Reply #67 on:]

I don't think I can ever forgive you for this, Josh.

Apparently Jezzem doesn't know that the internet exists.

I already looked that up after Josh informed me of this TV episode from 18 years ago, obviously!

[Reply #68 on:]

I know approximately nothing about the Guardians of the Galaxy, but the film has definitely caught my interest. A crazy raccoon that kills people is such a massive contrast to the other MCU films that there's no way I can ignore this.

That, and Marvel's been on a roll lately. Thor 2 was amazing.

[Reply #69 on:]

Alls I know about Guardians of the Galaxy is that Chris Pratt is in it. And, since Chris Pratt is awesome, I'm sold.

I'm about 75% sure that a Terminator Vs. Robocop will be out soon, now that the Terminator reboot was announced.  There's a comic and game where it already happens.

[Reply #72 on:]

Considering that the new Robocop hasn't been very successful so far commercially or critically, and that the vast majority of fans of either franchise are likely not at all interested in that kind of a crossover...I doubt it. Unusual crossovers in comics and games or even TV shows are one thing, but an idea has to be taken somewhat seriously to become a Hollywood production. Not that worse ideas haven't made it to theaters, but I'd be pretty surprised to see that particular one.

[Reply #73 on:]

Terminator Vs. Robocop would probably work better as a TV miniseries. I imagine that each would spend a couple of episodes working up a good, screaming, hatred of each other, before finally Skynet sends a T-800 Terminator into Robocop's reality to take him down.

A tense episode where Terminator arrives in future Detroit and kills a whole pile of innocent people would be followed by a relatively dull episode in which Robocop deduces exactly what's happened using a combination of quantum computing and good old fashioned cyborg detective work (throwing people through windows until they tell him things).

The remaining four episodes would be composed of the two finally tightening their nets around each other until the inevitable showdown in an abandoned warehouse abutting a junkyard that's connected to a high-tech manufacturing facility. The fight would rage from one end of the complex to the other, with devastating explosions hurling twisted metal high into the sky. Electromagnets would be used to hilarious effect, and the two would be bloodied and damaged by the time they finally made it out of the manufacturing district and into two convenient vehicles for a final chase that will see Robocop finally crush Terminator between a truck and a concrete wall.

Then the wall will fall on him, damaging him beyond repair. The way for a sequel will be paved by people combing through the rubble at the end, and recovering a shopping cart full of parts with which they can build a brand new cyborg: The Robonator. Which would go on to have wacky misadventures in law enforcement until The Predator arrived to battle it.

At the end of the second miniseries, The Predator and The Robonator would fly off in search of the alien from Alien, to administer an ass-kicking for no adequately explained reason.

I prefer to operate under the stance that the franchise ended permanently after Judgement Day. No shitty third or fourth movie, no shitty tv series, just one really great action movie and an even greater sequel.

[Reply #75 on:]

I really want to see this, but can't find a UK release date.

[Reply #76 on:]

Don't worry, you'll see it in late 2015. 

[Reply #77 on:]

This. All this.

[Reply #78 on:]

One of the other trailers has the most ridiculous argument I've ever seen in YouTube comments (and participated in).

Godzilla vs Heisenberg?  No contest, the reptile is toast.

You could say he's... "Smoked"

HUEHUE



He's not in the monster.  He IS the monster.

We're talking about an iconic monster vs a not so iconic character? Hmm... I'm going with my childhood here, you stupid kid.

heisenberg is more iconic now then godzilla ever was fagboy

Heisenberg isn't even in the same ball park as Godzilla when it comes to Iconic status
