Ollie 1,059 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Because the movie gods love to punish the unsuspecting masses.Why else would we be on another Fast & Furious film, other than to try and salvage what's left of Vin Diesel's career?

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Mark is right.Although nothing beats the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 So if the original cast reunites to make Ghostbusters 3, but feature only as advisors to a younger crew of 'Busters, it'll basically be the mid-90s cartoon series turned into a movie. Hoo. Ray.I want them to remake Star Wars with Scarlett Johannson as Princess Leia. Only please don't tape them down, please don't tape them down.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, as little as I care to see the first two Ghostbusters potentially trashed as well, it still beats being subjected to a third Men in Black (MIIIB?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 As far as I'm concerned, the Ghostbusters video game coming out this summer IS Ghostbusters III. So politely wait for Ghostbusters IV, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I saw Monsters Vs Aliens over the weekend in 3D, and all 4 trailers shown before the film where also in 3D. I had no idea so many 3D films were coming out!The trailers were:Up (Looks so good!)Ice Age 3 (meh)Battle For Terra (I had never heard of this movie at all, but it looked very interesting)Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (I fondly remember this book from my childhood.... movie appears to have very little to do with it though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Cloudy With A Chance Of MeatballsThey are making this a film!? I would imagine some creative liberties will be taken....Regarding what will probably be called MIIIB:Well, if it has Danny Elfman, I may accept the film's existence.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Okay, I am going to be honest, I am really looking forward to this. This is the first non-franchise film by Lucas since...when, the mid-1980's? I know I am being too optimistic, but do you think John Williams will score it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 No. Lucas is not directing the movie, and it is not a pre-established series like Star Wars. If Lucas produced something and left somebody else to direct (other than Empire and Jedi), the director selected the composer, such as Ron Howard using James Horner for Willow. Lalo Schifrin scored THX-1138, but American Graffiti completely used 1950s songs as the musical tapestry, rather than instrumental score. Other than that, Lucas hasn't really directed anything big.

I don't think it'll happen because of Lucas' involvement in cutting up JW's work, but I think the example of it being a different director has little to no bearing at all. The director could, y'know, want JW himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 That's true. Maybe Lucas could throw enough money at Williams, and offer encouraging bits like "but I'm not directing or editing this movie, I love your music, Johnny, so it'll be another editor and director who cut up your music and splice your pivotally emotional music around at the last minute for the final battle sequence" to entice him out of retirement.John Williams is probably the best composer left alive in the movie business, so if you want that old-style movie sound for this WWII epic, there is nobody better for the job.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'd be surprised if Williams scored it, he's never done anything Lucas besides SW and Indy. It'd be nice, though.That's rather ironical, you know, you are saying Williams has 'only' scored 10 out of 15 Lucasfilm's feature films. that's two thirds...So, the odds favor that Williams scores the movie, but after the prequels, i dont think Williams would work with Lucas again.

Then we screened it to the studios (DreamWorks and Paramount) and they started talking about holding it back for awards season. I so hate that term, but it's now set for a December release."He confirms with the delay in release, he has gone back and tweaked a few effects shots.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Grr. I had a whole long post written and then Firefox died on me. I just think it's a weird choice. PREDATOR is a very well-made film, with an iconic creature and a sequel that's better than a lot. The problem isn't the franchise, it's that it's either been given over to pooty directors (Paul Anderson, The Strausse Bros) who have just essentially remade the films, or turned them into mini-kaijus. Fox has been squeezing blood out of the Alien franchise since RESURRECTION, and all the films since then (that one included) have been terrible, although I'm wondering if Fox would have the balls to reboot Alien.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I wonder who the protagonist will be? The first one had Arnold Schwarzenegger in a truly iconic action role, the second one had Danny Glover in a nice (if cliched) action role, but this new one?(Sighs)...probably Christian Bale....
