| Thread: So, they're remaking Scanners |
*shakes head with disbelief*, why do people still do remakes?, they suck!, seriously, my mind is boggling as to any reason ,other than tha' moolah, as to why someone would remakes a film rather than being...oh wahts that word again- oh yeah, origional! |
The director David Cronenberg was lucky that Michael Ironside was such a great villian because Stephen Lack was a terrible lead actor in Scanners (1981). Would support this remake with the right script and a dedicated director. Curious to see what direction the new film takes. If you read the IMDB entry for Scanners the trivia section mentions the "Senders" idea, and the early script treatment for Telepathy 2000. Would the remake be the usual cheese or an even darker take on the concept? |
Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
- 23rd Sacred Scroll, 6th verse
I would love it to take a darker look at the concept... |

As far as I'm concerned this movie is not being remade, that right, not. With the exception of Rob Zombie's Halloween, I am going to ignore every single remake that comes along from now on. This is beyond dreadful and I am slowly losing faith in movies. All this remaking is destroying the integrity of the originals and I find it unoriginal, sickening and worthy of death. |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
