I am drowning.
There is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.

And I hope you die.

I hope we both die.

The Cool New Thing™ changes monthly, so any studio horror film requires a reshoot to feature that Cool New Thing™.

I can't wait until some horror film gets caught in a Duke Nukem Forever situation where it's constantly being reshot to try and catch up with the horror zeitgeist.

A found footage torture porn remake of Texas Chainsaw 2 where the ghost is in the internet but it's the kid's dream that came to life and can be passed on to other people via a videotape of you having sex with the vampire in your basement that was actually the original victim of Leatherface but now she's cursed by a talking goat.

It took 12 years to make!

With remakes and Cinematic Universes being so big I'm almost surprised that there hasn't been some attempt to remake a bunch of old Stephen King movies only with all the Derry/Castle Rock/Dark Tower stuff intact if not even more prominent.

I'd completely geek out if something like that were ever done, but its probably not really worth the effort. With a handful of exceptions, most of the connections are a line here or there and or a road sign, small stuff like that. Like, yea Father Callahan becomes important in the Dark Tower, but how exactly would a Salem's Lot remake take advantage of that? His future exploits with the Ka-tet don't ever become relevant during the events of Salem's Lot. Insomnia is the only novel that could really be used to establish the Dark Tower mythology in any meaningful way.

I can't be mad at Cage. He started with a string of classics, after that sure he made some stinkers but then he's back in a terrific movie every few years and gently caress, that's more than most actors manage to.




This entire scene is so goddamn good.

I can't remember exactly how he's described in the books, is he more of the overt creepy type, or would he be closer to a Ted Bundy? I've heard people throw out Zachary Quinto's name but if Mort is supposed to be a greasy haired creepo then that might not work.

Honestly I can't remember other than he was an accountant for a big firm and had blonde hair. I vote Michael Pitt.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It doesn't matter if they have silly names if they die 30 minutes in. I don't think Slipknot and Diablo are going do anything of note but to die quickly.

The campaign seems to be pushing a tone that the movie doesn't actually carry; the trailers are going for "Guardians of the Galaxy BUT EDGY" and yet the clips from the film in them just look like a regular action movie.

Vagabundo posted:

Oh is it? Then I guess it does end with a jump scare at the end.

There were two things I was getting at by pointing out that it's Blumhouse. Firstly, pretty much every horror trend post-Paranormal Activity has been spawned or codified by a Blumhouse movie; they're absurdly loving prolific, to a degree that I don't think any other production house matches nowadays. They're practically a 30s Poverty Row studio transplanted to the 2010s, which is a large part of why they own. They're not gonna recut a movie to match the new Big Things when they generally make the new Big Things.

Secondly, they don't have a distribution arm and rely on other studios to handle distribution for them. When a movie's solid, this is good and doesn't create issues, but when they've got something that nobody actually wants to see or release, it creates issues because they have to either try to bash the movie into not sucking or just hold out until they can foist it off on someone. This is why The Green Inferno took like 2 years to come to theaters after its festival premiere. This is presumably why the new Amityville got pushed back nearly a year.

Alan Horn was forced out and now is at Disney. I think it was the producer who said that.
