Death From Above Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I can't even imagine how it's going to turn out but if I had to guess, I'd say something like my worst nightmare about what Lawrence of Arabia would look like if you made it now instead of in the era where it fit.

Brian Fowler Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Eh, outside the chariot scene, Ben-Hur might be the most overrated movie ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Which studio owns Citizen Kane, cause I know we're not far off from a remake starring Jonah Hill or Tyler Perry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 AFAIK, Warner Brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I should say, I actually see the logic in re-remaking Ben Hur (people forget, the legendary one was a remake) given how successful the Christian film market has been this year. You can try to combine that market with the market that loves a big showy action scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 It's been proposed on here before, but I'm quite a champion of the idea of "Citizen Kane" being remade, where Rosebud is a chainsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Eh, outside the chariot scene, Ben-Hur might be the most overrated movie ever made. You are so on crack, Brian Fowler. The right answer is either Million Dollar Baby or Slumdog Millionaire. Up until yesterday, I might have had Blood Diamond on that list until I re-visited it on Sundance during dinner. In retrospect yeah, that movie fucking rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harewood is a fucking beast and criminally underrated. The dude played the best evil prick. I looked at his theater run stuff when he played MLK in The Mountaintop w/ Lorraine Burroughs. He can sound just like Martin Luther King as opposed to Samuel L. Jackson in his version with Angela "I Gotta Overact" Bassett. Now I can only think about the Key & Peele black British actor sketch.

Yeah - somewhere in this thread we talked about how Chadwick Boseman was making an early run at "Guy Whose Has Played The Most Famous People" since he has Brown, Robinson and Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I was joking around with my girlfriend over the weekend that Chadwick Boseman will eventually replace Denzel as the guy we go to for all of our important black people from history movie portrayals. She punched me in the arm.. and then she agreed with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I don't think there is a Kevin Smith thread on this board (and I fine without there being one) so I will mention this here. Smith said that The Weinstein Company passed on Clerks 3 Smith told Screen Daily that The Weinstein Company, who own the rights to the franchise, passed on the sequel. “[The Weinsteins] passed,” Smith said. “I went in with a $6 million budget and they were like, ‘Oh no, Kevin. This is too high.’ Bob offered us distribution, but they weren’t going to finance it.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
