OT: THX-1138
 

Yeah, I saw a movie poster but no trailer yet. How do you remake a classic like this? This was George Lucas's first movie and it is timeless and well done considering the budget he was on. I wish studios would save their shreholders money and not remake movies that were done good in the first place. What sort of product tie in could they be dreaming up now?

Cash cow

I thought they were releasing the original with touch-ups (ala the Blade Runner re-release several years ago), not re-making it?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There's a fine line when it comes to touching up films. Somehow somewhere something completely changes.

I will say it again, Cash Cow.

Re: OT: THX-1138
 

I agree with AT, it's a cash-cow thing. Look at Steve Jackson, he's now doing a remake of King Kong. I thought the original was fine, the second Version kind of lame, and now PJ is going to try his hand at a third Version? I know he made alot of people really rich (including himself) but give me a break, there are lots of more interesting things he could have done.

Just my humble opinion.

That'd be Peter Jackson - not Steve Jackson. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Yeah, I was hinking for a second "Steve Jackson's making movies!?!? Rock!"

Then I rememeber who's making King Kong.

Re: OT: THX-1138
 

Notice how David used "PJ" later in his post though. Perhaps Steve is Peters middle name? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Can you imagine a movie basied on the OGRE(T) / GEV univers? That would be cool.
Steve Jackson expects people to provide a link ack to his site when using "OGRE"

So there it is.
