Out of Pod Experience

So...I don't even know where to begin.

Maybe with Colin Farrell, who is so puny looking I'm amazed he even got through the golden arches of Hollywood in the first place - now he's reprising a role originally played by a 6'2", muscle-bound Austrian, with a voice that fish can hear 500 fathoms down.

Maybe I'll fire a few bullets across the bow of Kate Beckinsale, as I dread to think what god forsaken accent the director is going to force out of her for the role of Lori, previously played by Sharon Stone. Oh, the director is married to her. Great...I bet that was a sticky casting couch.

I don't mind Len Wisemen really, he's okay. No great complaints about his directorial style, considering the dreadful material he had to work with. Oh wait...he wrote the story for Underwuld.

Bill Nighy as Kuato...'open your mind'....

At least Jessica Biel is in it, playing Melina. Hopefully the scene where Lori gets shot by Quaid will be replaced by Lori and Melina cat-fighting. No 'consider that a divorce' line from Colin Farrell and something to numb the pain at that point from what will be most likely a truly vomit-inducing film.

Bryan Cranston as Cohaagen. Not bad...a reliably reliable actor, the kind of guy that turns up, does the job, and leaves without leaving any resonance behind, very similar to the original Cohaagen, Ronny Cox.

Ethan Hawke is in it - no idea what role he's going to play, but probably the "I work for the bad guy but feel bad about it, so I'm gonna help you, to save my soul" type-of-character, as that's the kind of cliché'd moping pussy that guy has played for years now - ever since he got wrinkles the size of the grand canyon.

Special FX are gonna be a combination of The Senate VFX (Captain America) and Double Negative (Inception) so I guess it's gonna be hard for them screw up an early 90's sci-fi movie.

I just wish they would make something new, because it's not like Philip K **** only wrote this, 'The Martian Chronicles', 'Do Andriod's dream of electric sheep?' and 'A Scanner Darkly' - we wrote over 40 books and it'd be a shame not to explore all of the concepts in his stories.

So, another 90's rehash for fuckin' money, because the studio owner has got 4 kids to feed? Or the potential for a genuinely awesome pop-corn movie?

I've read literally all of Philip K. ****'s fiction, and there's plenty of material there from which to make dozens of amazing science fiction films. A visionary director, professional crew and talented cast would get the job done.

I'd like to see Neuromancer made into a film one of these days, for example.

I don't watch modern Hollywood remakes — period. Perhaps if a remake comes along that's actually better than the original film (there have been a few of those, but none were made in the 21st century), I'll consider it.

Also, you can tell you're on the EVE forum when Philip K. **** gets censored.

This question needs answering.

yes, this is the most important question of all.

Answer Question and then /Thread.

Heresy!

Michelle Rodriguez

please no no no, dont remake this film i beg you. Colin Farell is terrible. He messed up alexander and even worse the role he played in another remake Fright Night was terrible too... My god why cant they just leave well alone!!

Film ratings standards get changed... Tank Girl used to be rated X because of the kangaroo people sex

Wait, female nipples still can't be shown in PG-13 movies can they? That's because they're from the devil.

They CAN, but they use counts.
You can only say the F word so many times...

Our luck the nipple limit is probably only 2!

Not as if the first was really all that great. (So the standards aren't too high for the remake.)

At least the world they made looks pretty cool.
