eli roth v mel gibson

[swiss tony]

i am remaking cannibal holocaust and i was wondering who to give the directing job to

[Unaboner3000]

Uh.....no way in hell Eli should touch it....but Mel, this kinda film is right up his alley.

[Posher778]

Uhh Tarantino

[The Mothman]

this is funny.

[LadyFrost]

Actually I would have gone for Tarintino or even Rodriguez...but Mel is a good choice as well.

what about del torro? i suppose any of them could do a good job, it just depends on the style you want. i think gibsons style might make it too 'real' if you know what i mean. on reflection, perhaps roth or zombie or another OTT splatter fest director should do the ultimate video nasty.

I would actually think you would want a director that would make it real for this film. After all, that was the whole point from the original director....instead of the usual cannabilistic cheesey gore-fest, make a believable and (ultimately) more disturbing flick.

by todays standards the original wasn't believable visually and i found it hard going. so if mel gibson brought his effects team and directorial style to this movie, where the story is hypothetically possible, i think it would be fucking horrendous. maybe i am building a case for him doing it, but it would probably be better to have a movie that people will come back to rather than a 'watch it once so you can say you've seen it', which is what the passion and the original are. lets face it, there isn't too many people on this site that go on about how frequently they watch cannibal holocaust and how dear it is to them
