a good remake?
 
saw this uncut trailer of the new Hitcher remake and thought to myself... a good remake? I know I must be crazy but i swear- i think this may have potential? Sean Bean does make one kick ass John Ryder... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjXNPXrUmGU

you are crazy. . . and probably mentally challenged as well.

the HITCHER is a classic - and sean bean is no Rutger Hauer. . . not now, not ever.

they aren't going to tear Jennifer Jason Leigh in half this time, so fuck it.

Zero 12-14-2006 12:54 PM
funnily enough - i've always had a huge crush on jennifer jason leigh

Roderick Usher 12-14-2006 01:00 PM
me too, she's got that crazy/sexy thing

great for a crush, not so much fun to live with

The Hills Have Eyes is the only one I've seen that was actually good so far...

The Hitcher remake gets a thumbs down from me. It might just take the crown for the lamest remake from the Omen. The Near Dark remake I've been hearing about sounds whack too.

Bean is not playing the Hauer part.

What about:

The Blob, The Fly and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers?...Excellent remakes (I like them BETTER than the originals)...and...I'm gonna get killed for this one but...I liked the Night Of The Living Dead remake, too...NOT as much as the original, but it was still really good...

Our tastes are diametrically opposed.

He sure is, he says his name in the trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjXNPXrUmGU

Looks solid to me...liked the original but thought there was room for improvement.

Give Bean a chance. He was a great nutcase in Patriot Games, and Borimir turned into a notable douchebag as well.

I can't do it cap'in'...I don't have the power. You see, The Hitcher is a nutjob, a complete psychopath. All of Bean's parts have rhyme and reason. If they insist on making remakes of anything...get the casting right. My two lead choices:

Haur's part: Travolta or Nicolson

Leigh's part: Sobinski, Knightly, or Malokovitch (spelling?)

I liked the original The Fly better. Never seen the others.
