on Aug 29 2007 10:48 AM Ugh. Raping comics and graphic novels, raping classic literature with a hack like this...not so much. (Reply to this) |
on Aug 29 2007 12:12 PM Call it whatever you want, it's still a remake. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 29 2007 12:24 PM it's one thing for Snyder to adapt comics, but i dunno if he'll be able to handle the likes of Ray Bradbury. i am a fan of Snyder so i'm definitely optimistic and it sounds like a cool story so i hope it'll be a good movie (Reply to this) |
on Aug 29 2007 03:29 PM hollywood is out of ideas and turning anywhere they can. I believe a few creative people still remain...Tarentino (he's amazing) and Scorsese. But I do like the graphic novel adaptations so far. I'm not a marvel fan though or DC, they are c-r-a-p. (except spiderman 2) (Reply to this) |

on Aug 29 2007 05:45 PM Hmm...interesting. It certainly is a great collection of stories. Not really a fan of Zach Snyder though. As long as he doesn't make it so in your face he might pull it off. (Reply to this) |
on Aug 29 2007 07:56 PM I think this has some potential. I am getting sick of hearing about remakes, but as long as they are entertaining i wont complain. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 29 2007 10:02 PM In reply to this comment (#1082670) Ummm... I like Scorsese as much as the next guy, or likely more, but his recent projects (The Departed, No Direction Home, Aviator and Gangs of New York) were all based on previoius films/books or historical figures. Also, I fail to see what's so wrong with adapting novels into films. As for "calling it whatever you want..." Since you're giving me an option, I'll call this a film adaption of a novel, thanks. I think it's rather clear that this will not even remotely be based on the previous forgettable film. Whether it's good or bad is a far different story, but it's a new adaption, not a remake. If he was in the business of making remakes I probably would have liked 300 as much as The 300 Spartans. (Reply to this) |
