blackdust Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I just watched the original again on TV the other night... this remake will never top the original. Not that the original was any groundbreaking cinema to begin with, mind you... Are you talking about the 1950s one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wall Bird Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 God, what ever happened to mystery? Isn't there a better way to construct trailers in which they don't have to reveal which characters have turned or how they die, not to mention all of the effects shots?

It may not be "ground breaking" in terms of what it is, but it has some of the most original and iconic special effects that don't rely on CGI, that we will ever see now.

I wasn't slighting it on it's special effects - more along the lines of the story itself. And yeah, Kurt - how could I forget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 found this buried in the trailer, pretty fucking cool. i've read continuity with the original is priority one when making the new film. 1982 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 yeah sure if by continuity you mean in the George Lucas 'echo' style where he juist blatantly recreates iconic visual scenes from A New Hope inside Phantom Menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 ^Bit different. TPM had no real reason for mimicking shots besides that silly "rhyming moments" thing Lucas tried to pull, put this Thing prequel takes place three days before the original so being consistent is a good idea. Not saying the dude having the same beard & funky glasses guarantees a good movie, but I'll give the costume department an A for Affort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 There are some other details already discussed, the ax in the door, the face split in half. Also remember Russell found the VCR the Nords used to film their entire find, as well as setting charges to blow up the ice covering the ship. That seems to be the big set piece in this prequel.

Caretstik Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm happy I never saw the remakes of Assault On Precinct 13 or Halloween, so I'll be happy to ignore this inevitably offensive effort as well (forget the 50s version which was a bit crap, JC made it his own).

azatoth Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Those that have seen it already are saying it's good and works perfectly with the Carpenter version. Has the same kind of tension and paranoia but different enough to set it apart from the Carpenter movie. They apparently explore the ship it came in.
