A little bit of news over at AICN... |
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.

hmmf. well the original was great, the first remake is one of the greatest films ever made. so what's the point? |
why does this need to be remade again is this like number 3? |
It will get remade for something like $30,000,000 with the aim of getting a young audience in who haven't see the original(s)... |

After seeing the Assault at Precinct 13 and The Fog remakes... |

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

lol i love the thing soundtrack too...it's like they picked up a bass guitar for the first time, chopped a couple open Es, and said...ah that'll do. |
I bet they make a love interest in the film... |

Nothing could top the Carpenter remake, but what the hell... it's a good movie, maybe they'll nail it. 99.99% chance they'll blow it, but I can hope, right? |
Often a film is remade because it's dated in some ways. Dawn has the blue zombies, old haircuts/clothes, old mall stuff, old style film stock, for example. I don't think day is dated. The Thing is not dated at all. No Low Budget suffering, ultra top notch effects, great music and no anacronistic fashion. A kid wouldn't say "this is an old movie" cause they wouldn't know. |
