Death From Above Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The TrekCore guys got a look at it and said it does a good job paying tribute to the Star Trek 50th. I've found them to generally be pretty reasonable at loving the franchise on the whole but actually understanding there hasn't been new Trek on TV in over a decade and this is new shit for a new generation. I've enjoyed the first two as "good action films". The "JJ Abrams Must Die" people need to fucking go outside, when I can say that you're goin' a wee bit far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Oh it's also been put out there that if/when they do a fourth one they won't recast Chekov, they'll write out the character altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they announced it was being remade and I put up the news in the older version of this thread, people tried to brush it off as Ben-Hur not being that sacred. Well, I guess people want more shitty remakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Ben-Hur is a bad movie. Not just not sacred, it's not good. The race scene is good. The other seventy hours are dull as fuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I know he did the cameo in Ed Wood and all, but that Mag 7 trailer makes me wanna see D'Onofrio play a latter-day Orson Welles in something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it could easily be it's own movie. It looks great. But why saddle it with being a new "Magnificant Seven"? All that's gonna do is remind us that no matter how good this flick is, it's never gonna be as good as The Magnificant Seven. Denzel and Pratt are great but they ain't Yul Brynner and Steve motherfucking McQueen. Oh, and Ben Hur with Heston is a great film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not necessarily a bad thing and it's not like the makers of the film are even bothering to hide the fact that this is a fable turned into a Western.

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 For some reason, people in Hollywood (especially based on Spielberg's comments last year on CBMs) are persistent that Westerns are dead. So it would make sense that studios would find the western IPs they do own and remake them instead of trying to create their own (to eventually remake 20+ years later). Even though it's not a proper Western, HBO spent so, so, so much money on Westworld (which is also multi-ethnic after the original was lily white) that it has to be a success even though the title Westworld probably doesn't do anything for anyone under the age of 35. They could've you know...named it something else and probably brought in the same audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I appreciate how Vin Diesel tries to cultivate all of the characters he plays and wants the movies to do well because he thinks of Dom Toretto and Riddick and Xander Cage as brothers, but the world can live without another xXx movie. He needs to get this fucking Riddick train back on track. Put out another Riddick animated movie or a follow-up video game.... something.... fuck...

AxB Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Had a look at the imdb page for that xXX, because I didn't really recognise anyone in the trailer (except Vin and Samuel L), and it said Mike Bisping is in this movie. So I figured, I didn't know he did acting, let's see what else he's done. And it lists him as being in the new Twin Peaks, 2017. Lucky bastard.
