Re: Real Genius remake --> the raping of childhood continues.

Lazy studios/marketers think half their work is done for them is there's already some sort of built-in brand recognition (see "Battleshit") with a property.

Since they don't see movie as art that can remain in the public consciousness for years, but instead as products with zero shelf-life, sinking millions on a property with some sort of recognition (how ever lame), is an easier sell than something fresh and brand new.

This has been said before, but in this climate, a movie like Star Wars or even Matrix can never be made.

Must be about a 90% chance that this will be related to global warming in some way eh?

All of my filth is arranged in alphabetical order. This, for example is under "H" for "toy"

It's a penis stretcher.

Re: Real Genius remake --> the raping of childhood continues.

Look on the bright side: one good thing that could come out of this (much like whenever a remake comes out) is a possible new special edition DVD/BluRay of the original...

A new DVD/BR means we lose this work of art that is the cover!

Applying it to this thread: "This is Hollywood. This is what happens when great movies get remade."

"Have you ever seen a body like this before in your life?"

"She happens to be my daughter."

"Oh. Then I guess you have."

Not really sure why anyone would want to mess with perfection.

Re: Real Genius remake --> the raping of childhood continues.

The only way I would consider going anywhere near this was if they got Val Kilmer to play Lazlo. And even then, I still probably wouldn't watch it.

Re: Real Genius remake --> the raping of childhood continues.

Whatever happened to that "Revenge of the Nerds" remake that was supposed to be out last year?

They should release a movie of one guy on camera acting out an entire well-known movie. That'd be kewl.

Sorry Ash.

From comingsoon.net
Warner Bros. Pictures has hired Max Borenstein to write a new draft of the screenplay for The Man From U.N.C.L.E., an adaptation of the 1960s TV show.

David Dobkin is attached to direct the project, which will be produced by John Davis and Jeff Kleeman.

Here's the info (according to Wikipedia) about the remake:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Nerds

A remake of the original Revenge of the Nerds was slated for release in 2007; however, the project was canceled in 2006 after two weeks of filming. The cast included Adam Brody (who also co-produced), Dan Byrd, Katie Cassidy, Kristin Cavallari, Jenna Dewan, Chris Marquette, Ryan Pinkston, Efren Ramirez, and Nick Zano. [...] Filming was originally scheduled to take place at Emory College but university officials changed their minds after reading the script. A story by the Chicago Tribune described the film as too "raunchy" for the campus administration.

In November 2006, the film was shelved by Fox Atomic. Producers found it difficult to shoot on the smaller Agnes Scott campus, and studio head Peter Rice was disappointed with the dailies. The remake would have the first project for the newly created Fox Atomic. Twentieth Century Fox personnel have stated that it's highly unlikely that a remake will be picked up in the future.

Re: Real Genius remake --> the raping of childhood continues.

^ I thought Fox Atomic was finished. Was Revenge of the Nerds the production that put the final nail in the coffin?

It was Fox Atomic's first scheduled product in production back at the beginning of 2006. Fox Atomic was dead before it was even started. Fox Atomic only released four films theatrically...

Turistas
The Hills Have Eyes 2
28 Weeks Later
The Comebacks

The remainder of their titles split distribution between Fox and Fox Searchlight...

The Rocker
12 Rounds
Miss March
I Love You Beth Cooper
Post Grad
Jennifer's Body

28 Weeks Later is the only tolerable film on that list and I only own Miss March with the hopes that TWUK can get another film deal, hopefully with their own material.

So far, scott1598's childhood butthole has not been continued to be raped. The rapists have taken a break...for now.

Re: Real Genius remake --> the raping of childhood continues.

Is this a legitimate childhood rape?
