armand hammer Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 :mad: so i dont know if any of you hear this but will smith and spieldick are planning on remaking oldboy.and i realise its not new news however these fuckers are sneaky and will pop the movie out without anyone knowing or being able to do shit. This will only go wrong as these two would most definitely chomp out so much of the story to make room for extended explosive scenes and the whole incest/gore etc is not exactly something their holy names could be tarnished by.Therefore so much of the actual story would be lost due to censorship and just the down right fact Hollywood hasn't produced a good movie let alone a remake in the last 5-9 years. And the simple fact is anything produced etc in Japan/China/Korea cannot and never should be remade into an American version.the grudge trilogy was a complete pile of shit so i have no idea what they hope to do with it,they just need to stop. however there is a lawsuit pending between Futabasga and Show East over who gets the rights to remake it.this will hopefully hold it up enough that they maby lose interest in remaking it. anyway im pretty high and pissed off now so discus and here some links to articles. http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/06/18/lawsuit-could-stop-spielbergs-oldboy-remake/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/nov/07/spielberg-smith-oldboy-remake http://www.pajiba.com/trade_news/oldboy-remake.php and this picture says it all.

MrChupacabra Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 To be honest, i don't particularly care for Oldboy, but its still ridiculous/terrible that they're remaking it. I'm more pissed that the guy who did Cloverfield is remaking Let The Right One In. Your average american movie goer/renter is too fucking lazy to read subtitles, which is pretty pathetic and results in a lot of foreign movies getting slaughtered in shitty remakes. Its especially bad since most of the people watching them aren't even aware that they're remakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm more pissed that the guy who did Cloverfield is remaking Let The Right One In. I was going to make a thread about this film. If you haven't seen it, GO NOW. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maskface Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I was going to make a thread about this film. If you haven't seen it, GO NOW. Unbelievable. Ive been trying to get people I know to watch this. So far I have succeeded in none. People are stupid. and fuck this oldboy remake. Will smith in the o dae su role? nahhhh.

bobsaysmittens Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 This is whack. Still the solution is simple, just dont watch it. The worst part about banging movies such as these being remade (terribly), is hearing people talk about the remakes. Weak Sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 the foreign remakes are almost always gutted versions of the originals. considering the stomach churn that is oldboy i can only imagine what they'll eviscerate from it in order to make it halfway palatable to american audiences.

El Mamerro Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Fact #1: This version is supposed to be based on the original manga, which is in fact different from the Korean movie. Fact #2: Spielberg > Chan-wook Park Fact #3: I don't care about this "remake" either. I'm just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 the down right fact Hollywood hasn't produced a good movie...in the last 5-9 years no offense, and all, but go back to wherever it is you come from and continue to spit phlegm on the streets. this is stupid. oldboy was grimey. will smith is wack as fuck. i never liked him. when he was on Fresh Prince, i thought he was just perpetuating the whole 'every nigger is an entertainer' thing. still liked the show, though. i won't even watch Ali or Ray because I can't take those fools seriously. Sydney Poitier never sang vulgar r'n'b songs or rapped about getting jiggy with it or acted like a dumb black man for white laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armand hammer Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 what i meant by that was that there has been a few good movies but they are way out weighed by all the shit horror,remakes,true stories that have been so butchered the characters names are about the only thing that hasn't been blown out just to make a thriller/action story..i suppose i should have put that in there ,sorry for the confusion . and i dont spit phlegm on the streets.

Weapon X Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 that's cool, and to add to 2009's post, i read somewhere on the Internet that Spielberg wants to do another Indiana Jones movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOOGLE? Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 WOAH... thought the thread title said will smith in goldenboy ..that woulda been weird oldboy the manga was better though. the one movie i've always wanted to see with a sequel was uzamaki then there was the manga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrashcat Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'd like to see Ichi The Killer remade, but based on the manga and not the movie. I've heard Uzamaki was good, but the manga was better. On this subject, I also heard rumors of an American remake of Cowboy Bebop with Keanu Reeves as Spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOOGLE? Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 the cowboy bebop wouldnt be too bad but i think america couldnt handle the character ed at all. oh dude you know the sperm in the intro of ichi the killer is real right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 How the fuck could remaking a movie ruin the original? They don't collect all copies of the original and rerecord over them. Maybe someone with less time to waste looking through obscure shit will see the remake, dig it, and then see the original. I just can't think of one situation where remaking a movie will hurt anything other than a nerds feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 the ring was the only remake i can think of that was as good as the original. the vanishing? prime effin example. that shit was so weak in america. i agree the remakes don't ruin it. but they do tend to make a shitload of people who don't know jack about the original think they areauthorities on a movie they know nothing about.

Soup Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Im reserving judgment until after I see the movie. Will Smith has done justice to plenty of movies, and at the same time ruined many other so I tend to think it's all up to the director... which unfortunately is Speilburg..... RESERVING JUDGMENT! I swear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
