we've really hijacked this thread, no?

I am as far out of the loop as can be. I don't talk to the SciFi folks, leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Thread hijacked but interesting info anyways. Can you explained to the uninformed about Mammoth and Damend please Rod? I think I am correct in assuming those are projects you have worked on but would love a bit more info.

MAMMOTH (along with GRYPHON and KRACKEN: TENTACLES OF THE DEEP) is a SciFi Channel flick I co-wrote - and Mammoth is the only one worth a damn.

DAMNED is a cabin-in-the-woods horror flick I co-wrote that has hit a few speed bumps on the way to the screen. But that's independent filmmaking for you.

LA GOTHIC is the latest and in case you missed the recent news articles about it...

Kraken is on sale practically everywhere around here. I saw it at Walmart.

I actually watched Kracken: Tentacles of the Deep. Will keep an eye out for the other two.

Very cool Rod. Thanks for answering my question.

Personally...
 
I think this movie will be a very ejoyable horror movie. What would be the point of making a remake if he didn't change it? It would pretty much be a bomb just like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The amityville horror, and house of wax.
IMO I think he is going to do a good job, his others movies are just plain scary, and if this movie is anywhere near as freaky as the devils rejects I will be very satisfied.

and those are the films that I think were really re-made to appeal to the masses...


I don't expect this one to do anything special at the box office but I'll be checking it out. 7 to 1 it bombs.

I'm gonna watch it, I think it'll be interesting.

Just to keep the facts clear

TCM Remake - $9.2M budget - $107M in box office
Amityville Horror Remake - $19M budget - $86M in box office
House of Wax Remake - $30M budget - $45M in box office

none of those films were "flops." As a metter of fact the first two were HUGE hits and eve House of Wax made its money back BEFORE heading to DVD

The key to horror is keep the budget below $20Million.
