The memories off getting wasted and watching that film in our dorm roome. Goddamn coporate puss bags. I'm mean I am truly pissed off, because, if I not mistaken the essence of those films is having the quality of Bmovie , and STILL BEING ENTERTAINING. At least tell me Bruce Cambell is going to be in it? |

Fucking editors. Bloody stupid fucking editors. Am I right Vod or what?

I just cant believe that everything has gotten so inbred in the entertainment business that they arent even interested in considering nerw ideas. They arent even rehashing old ideas, they are just tearing them apart, repackaging them, and shipping them back out.
The nice thing is, if and when i do become successfull as a writer, i will be doing everything in my power to constantly piss all of these people off. "You cant do that!" "I just did, now fuck off." |
Bullshit

it is definately all about the almighty dollar.
Other than the real hard core fans, when you say Evil Dead, you have a ready made audience. People pretty much know what to expect - it's low risk. Or ... you have someone who really likes the film and wants to keep it fresh. I have mixed feelings about this .. I like to see ANY horror film get made. No one is forcing me to see it ... there are ways i can see it for free, and turn it off if it blows so i really dont have to risk my time or my money. We all know why the 1st one was so damn good ... and we all know how delicate the formula was ... a low budget labour of love made by good friends who were creative, funny, and dedicated. You dont see that in a bigger budget film .. the motivations are different. But the only thing is : I thought I would hate the Dawn of the Dead remake - and I loved it. If the person who makes Evil Dead understands Raimi's vision and finds the fine balance of remaking verbatim and adding fresh material ... they might pull it off. Personally the only remake in history that i thought was insane to remake was Alfie. (because it was somewhat of a period piece .. it doesnt work now) Horror films are rarely topical so they dont have that constraint. I say screw it ... whats the worse thing that could happen ? It sucks ? So what ... House of the Dead was released .. if that didnt completely murder the horror film industry - nothing will |
The new Dawn worked because the writer and director were obviously very passionate about the subject matter, and had some talent. keep your finger crossed here, then.
|
one of my points exactly ...
this is the hit and miss scenario .. why the film is being remade .. what is the commitment of the director... and how smart the casting is. |

We will when you change your sig, jesus.....

Normally I don't have a problem with remakes. Like urgeok said,".. whats the worse thing that could happen ? It sucks ?". But I'm not sure about this one. Its low budget was defiantly its charm.
|
OMG! BOOOO! I can see it now....We're gonna be innundated with A whole new line of Ash action figures, lunch boxes, stuffed animals, dolls, Kiddies PJ's, and any other popular item they can conjure up to line their pockets. If it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it.......
|
Cant wait for the evil dead cereal commercials
"Mmmmm! tastes like Ash!" |
I bet almost everyone here pays good money to go and see it, anyway. o and btw i hear bruce isn't coming back, justin timberlake is going to take over.

Help them out and let Sam Raimi know we don't appreciate him bending over and letting a major studio assfuck his franchise. |
I don't know that signing this will make any difference at all (And I'm sure it won't) But I signed it anyway......Stupid Hollywood Hacks....Fucking unoriginal bastards.....
|
Well, no....
Signing it won't actually do anything to stop the remake from happening, but it might make you feel a little better... plus you can write an angry message to the producers if you want, so that's always nice. |
True...And that's what I did......

Seems to me that most studios arent willing, with the exception of Lions Gate, to go with a new and fresh idea. I think that they are afraid that they wont be able to fill their corporate pockets with a new and original film that might not go over so well.
So what do they do? Remake old classics that they know all horror fans will go and see, regardless of what is said here, and hopefully bring in some new ones who are not diehard fans like us but ones that will pay the 20 bucks to see the film anyway so they can see something that they may consider scary. Lets face it its either this or we get another Freddy vs Jason vs Myers vs Pinhead vs John Doe vs Lechter vs my fucking sanity. Thank the Gods for Lions Gate films. Plus I was thinking that if someone like Douglas Buck could catch a break I think he would make a tremendously good horror flick. |
