I like original horror movie ideas what I dont like as many horror fans dont are cruddy movies. If you want to know why film makers keep remaking old classics like Dracula Frankenstien Mummy Wolfman etc. Its real easy to figure out those horror characters are monsters people like so it can only be a good idea to remake a movie about one of those characters because the studio know the movie will probley make a profit. and who knows maybe 10 years later another remake might be in the works or better yet maybe a series of movies about a character. Here is what I predict will be the next best remake this year in december fans will get inline to watch a KingKong remake. They will go see kingkong not because he is popular with fans. Hell most have forgotten who KingKong was. The reason people will line up to go see this remake is because the Director Peter Jackson the best movie director in the world today is directing the movie. Another reason is that Adrian Brody best actor a few years ago will be in it. So good director good actors good script= good movie. And thats why people will go see Kingkong next december.

Peter Jackson is the best director in the world- are you out of your mind?

and as far as Adrian Brody winning that oscar, there's no way you're going to convince me that Adrian Brody is a better actor than Nicholos Cage-Jack Nicholson or Michael Caine (I haven't seen Gangs of New York yet so I can't commment on Daniel Day Lewis' preformance.)

Austin I said Peter Jackson is the best director in the world and I agree if Nick Cage was in the new KingKong movie he would be another reason movie goers would go because both Adrian Brody and Nick Cage have been voted best actor. I doubt if Peter Jackson was not directing Kingkong the movie would not make as much money and the reason Brody wanted to be in the movie is because he wants to work with Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson wants to make KingKong because he is a bigtime Kong fan and its a dream come true for him. At least I am happy that KingKong will be 15 meters tall and not 25 ft tall. It would be awesome if KingKong were to open at Radio City Music Hall this december and the Roxy just like the original KingKong movie did back in 1933.

I know you said peter jackson is the best director in the world I was wondering why.

Martin Scorsese(probably spelled wrong)
Clint Eastwood(I'll admit I'm bias)
Tim Burton

all better IMO, there's probably more that I just can't think of at the moment. I don't think he's that great of a director don't get me wrong I know he's good but I just think he got a dream job with Lord of the Rings.

PJ isnt THE best, but he is great.

You forgot Ridley Scott and Jim Cameron. The list of great directors is endless. Unfortunately, the list of shitty ones is even longer.

i think i'd take coppola over Cameron.

He dosent have the range and he kind of painted himself into a corner.

coppola is my all around favorite i think ...

Cameron is a bit of a niche director, but he has done wonderful things with/for science fiction.

I wish he would come out with a nother movie, though (godammit)

If i hate Titanic for any reason, its because he stopped making movies after it....

i didnt like it because he proved himself to be too top heavy and formulatic.

The terminators were brilliant - but as with M. Night Shamaylan, i think he blew his load.

I forgot about Unbreakable I thought that was great too.

as for signs the only thing that freaked me out was when they first showed the alien, I thinks that's the hardest I've ever jumped at a movie. even though I knew what was about to happen just couldn't help it.
