Boba Rhett Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It's great that the King will be back but Raimi won't be directing so I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hmmm...It's too early to comment on this. I share the same sentiments about not knowing what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 OK, billeh, I DEMAND you take back your remarks on the Dawn of the Dead remake. This is one case, where Hollywood is sacking holy grounds. Regardless if Campbell is playing the lead, if Raimi is not directing it, I cannot be bothered. Not happy about this one at all.

acdcfanbill Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 i will never recant my disdain for the Dawn remake ever! but this, it has promise, kind of like the elation i felt when i heard George Romero was working on the Resident Evil movie. in that case the producers let me down, but in this case there is a good chance they will not, since they are the original guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I'm always very dubious of remakes, especially classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleh. I hope it's better than that House of 1000 Turds movie. But I can't really see how it can be any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider AL Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 What one has to bear in mind is that the Evil Dead was schlock. It was low budget schlock, and while Romero's original Dawn had some sort of social commentary and self-effacing humour to lend it additional merit, Evil Dead didn't have either. It was only ED2 that acquired the wonderful self-effacing quality that made it such a success on all fronts. Bearing this in mind, one would think that ED1 is perfect fodder for a remake, as one should only ever remake bad movies, never good movies. However, one MUST NOT forget that ED2 is to all intents and purposes a remake of ED1 ANYWAY. And ED2 ironed out the flaws in ED1. So why bother remaking it again? In short, while I personally wouldn't bother, I have more time for the Evil Dead remake than I do for say... the remake of the Ladykillers. How dare they remake an Ealing classic? What, pray, was WRONG with it? Nothing. Remake films that have something wrong with them. Goddamnit. Turds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ED2 ironed out the flaws in ED1. So why bother remaking it again? That is what i was thinking. How many times can you remake the same film? (especially as it only had a pretty simple plot to start with). The only possible reason i could see to like this would be that, if it has a big budget, it might just get Bruce Campbell noticed above the cult level... something he really deserves. Originally posted by Spider AL the remake of the Ladykillers. How dare they remake an Ealing classic? What, pray, was WRONG with it? Nothing. Remake films that have something wrong with them. Hollywood seems to have completely lost all originality these days. Loads of sequels. Remaking literally dozens of japanese and korean movies. Remaking Taxi. Remaking DOTD, the ladykillers, manchurian candidate, italian job, ocenas 11, etc... The only original movies they are making at the moment are BIOPICS, and comic book movies (which are hardly original, and are all starting to look the same anyway). While I don't mind remaking old classics on principle (hollywood has always done it to an extent), they seem to have gone overboard recently... remaking even modern films. I do wish they wouldn't use the same name though... as it causes confusion and help to erase the original. add a 2004 or a 2 or a return of... or something. Pixar seem to be the only guys developing original material these days... (and you just know disney are gonna produce a load of rubish knockoff sequels to those as well...)
