This movie seems doomed, it has had the fingers of 3 different directors on it (two primary, one for reshoots) and was written by Sebastian Gutierrez, ye of Snakes on a Plane, Gothika and Rise. To top that off, it is based off a fairly generic flick to begin with. Edit: Pang bros, not Oxide, whoops. |
I loved the original. It was a pretty generic/predictable story line, but it had some really creepy moments.
Spoiler:
I usually don't like remakes, but if they can somehow make the second half of the movie better, I would appreciate that. That was probably my only problem with The Eye. |
According to the trailer, it seems the ending will be EXACTLY the same -- so I don't think they'll be changing anything.
I'd love to see a remake to The Eye 2 to be honest. I still like to believe The Eye 10 was never made. |
i will check it out because of Jessica Alba :) but the orginal wasnt that good, started off creepy but became pretty boring.
|
Looks like shit. I'll stick with the (superior, I'm sure) original version. Alba seems like a sure death curse for any movie to suck these days. And I don't want to hear <i>"But she's hot"</i>. I can jerk off to her pics for free at home, so that excuse isn't going to get me to pay $10 to see her <i>not</i> get naked in a film.
|
This looks so, so horrible. I like Alba, I mean I think she's hot just like most guys do, but I'm not buying her in this role. Nope, not a single bit. Just from the trailer I can tell that she's wrong for this. That's just another thing this remake already has against it.
I love the original version in a big way. It has one of the all time creepiest moments to me ever in a movie: Spoiler:
|
Uh, I think I'll pass on this one.
|
Oh yeah, I didn't give my thought at the beginning of the thread. I actually think it looks fairly decent, adds some visual style to the original which I wasn't a huge fan of.
Could be entertaining, granted they keep it coherent. |
Have you seen my report card?

What I like about the Original EYE (The Hong Kong Film) is that it was a LOOSE RIP-OFF of the Mothman Prophecies!
|
Loved the original, and as much as I enjoy looking at Alba she can't act worth a damn and is horribly miscast here. This is going straight to my Netflix queue.
|
Looks like crap. The original was decent. Alba is awful in everything. Pass.
|
I'm not against remakes in general as most people are, it's all about how much talent and effort is put into a certain remake (recall The Hills Have Eyes for instance). But this trailer seems ordinary and mediocre. Not yet enough to judge the film though.
|
So with all the Japanese remakes of horror movies, what is Japan remaking over there? Revenge of the Nerds? Porky's? Cobra? Ice Pirates? :)
|
Wow it looks like an ocsar nod that always eluded her for some reason is finally in reach. Kudos
|
I thought the grudge was laughable, but that seemed to make a ton.
Alba is a ticket sale for me and millions of other hetero men. |
A Horror/Thriller starring a fairly well known star= Terrible piece of sh*t.

Original was a crappy "Sixth Sense" rip-off (wasn't it shot on video?) This can only be an improvement.

Asian audiences don't seem to have a problem watching a subtitled film with a foreign cast the way Americans do. Or rather, like the studios think Americans do. I for one don't get Hollywood's "must remake it for American audiences" concept. If a movie's got a good story and is well acted, who cares where it was made? It seems like a colossal waste of money to reshoot something that already exists. |
Man, I thought the original was pretty bad, but I guess there are always ways to top it...

Bummer. This is one of the few times where I wanted the remake to change aspects of the original. |
