Well... I dunno. I love THE THING and I'm one of perhaps five people who also think its 2011 prequel is pretty good. I read the Campbell story a few years ago and I didn't know about an expanded novel. That said, I'm not sure I want a new version of THE THING. The way I see it, the best possible film based on that story was made in 1982. Can't imagine anyone beating Carpenter in his prime at this. Also, I don't want THE THING (1982) to be pushed aside by some remake. Carpenter was all but killed over that film. His reputation was smeared, his career was condemned and he was called a "pornographer of violence" by stupid, easily-offended conservatives who think their farts don't stink.
I am still waiting for the gritty horror filled reboot of Golden Girls...
or the action gritty reboot of Matlock
I could go on but the joke explains itself

:( guess I am too late to pitch my idea
First official poster and trailer for Spiral: From the Book of Saw, the 9th installment of the Saw franchise:
Samuel L Jackson said his favorite m word in the trailer. I will not allow any criticism on this film. ;-)

Please tell me that you are joking. What are they doing to that series?

Wait I just read that it is based on it... so uhm yeah again Hey anything written during Calvin Coolidge's Presidency is cool in my book (sorry for the obvious pun)
I think we can pretty much declare the series dead at this point. A new film can't happen without Miller & Cunningham, and as one comment puts it, so much bad blood runs between them, it is unlikely they can set their hatred aside to make a new film.
The part I don't understand, though, is if Miller owns the rights to the original 1980 story, then why is he needed for a new film. Adult Jason, and the hockey mask are nothing to do with Miller, and are arguably more iconic than anything in the first film.
Incidentily, yesterday marked 11 years since the last film! Let that sink in for a moment.
For the very creators the franchise to then kill it with these legal decisions would be quite disappointing and quite historic I'd say? If it is to really fall apart after this.
* I recall one story draft of the film we nearly had, set in a functional water park. With one particularly nasty kill taking place on the water slide.
Are summer camps still a big thing in the US?
I'd be interested to see something like that, but with all this legal stuff, it just already taints whatever they decide to make. You could compare it to the SPECTRE stuff in some way, could some of our quarms with Spectre have been avoided if they just didn't get the rights yet haha :D
On a side note, I'm actually really excited for this new Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I don't really care if they make them cause if I don't like what I see I can just not watch haha, and then if they do make a really good one then great! And I think there's always chance of that happening with any property, well unless the Leprechaun franchise haha, especially with Fede Alvarez onboard as a producer and some new talent behind the camera and penning, there's one of hell of a chance this could be the film we've been waiting for, well I've been waiting for anyway haha :D
At least they got SP out. Image if McClory was still alive and maintained the rights, and EON were trying to fight back, dragging the film into court.
I really don't know where they are going with TCM. These past two decades has been a mess for the series.
I haven't watched the two latest Leprechaun films, but what little I have seen, the Leprechaun at least look like the Warwick Davis Leprechaun in Returns.
This whole mess is driven by money, which is one thing neither can earn from the IP (no films, comics, games, action figures) while this is on going. If it weren't so depressing, I would laugh at the irony.
- COLOR OUT OF SPACE, which was entertaining and good;
- BLACK CHRISTMAS 2019, which kept me in perennial WTF mode and made me regret the time wasted during the big "reveal". Unbelievable. Bob Clark's original deserves better.
Peninsula, the Train to Busan sequel, is racking up international distribution deals. The film is expected to release around the globe this summer. The producers are looking at a potential world premier at the Cannes film festival this May.
Although it is already being billed in some places as a “sequel to Train To Busan”, the director says, “Peninsula is not a sequel to Train To Busan because it’s not a continuation of the story, but it happens in the same universe.”
