They're an actual improvement on the movie. E: Rinzler's Making of Aliens just came out. Slam dunk for me, the companion work on Alien is great. Jedit fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Aug 25, 2020 |

Stryder posted:OMFG I thought I dreamt that movie. I have vague memories of seeing parts of it as a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbME1773n2s I feel like this is one of those late 70's/early 80's flicks that probably just had a giant bowl of cocaine on the craft services table. I finally got around to watching it, it's definitely a fever dream. I think because I have had exposure to decades of horror/comedy at this point and it was a VinSyn drop, I was expecting something else. What I got was definitely a cocaine fueled B+/A- celebrity ensemble slapstick comedy with some horror overtones.

CelticPredator posted:Halloween 3: Season of the Barbies These are all fuckin' awesome! I'm always still a little sad about how freaky that cover of Halloween 3 made the movie look to me as a kid vs. how that shot is only in the movie for like maybe two seconds. I do appreciate the movie a lot more now though.

Everyone pressured me to stop playing with action figures when I hit my mid teens. Courtesy of this thread I'm sorry as hell I listened to them. Beautiful shots as a homage to the red-headed Halloween. Good stuff.

I'm down for it. The Thing might be my favorite film of all time and I'm always interested in seeing new takes on good material. Worst case, it's lovely and gets forgotten about.

An actual sequel to The Thing or pseudo-Sequel with a new location that builds off of the trappings of the original would be cool with John and the right people. As long as you never learn what happened to MacReady and Childs.

I just feel like Carpenter's The Thing is about as close to a perfect horror movie as you can get. I don't think it needs a sequel or a prequel or any other continuation. The 2011 prequel was just dreadful and completely unnecessary. I want to believe Carpenter's involvement would steer things in the right direction, but I'm not sure even he cares enough be more involved than to say, "Yeah, sure, sounds good man. Do whatever you want, I got XBox to play." I do like the Zombieweens, and maybe we'll get something closer to that than The Thing 2011 or the 2005 Assault on Precinct 13.

The planned Sci-Fi Channel sequel miniseries was interesting in that it honored the first film but went a totally different direction for the sequel—an Alien/Aliens kind of thing. I haven't read it myself, but by all accounts it sounds like just about as good as we could get from a sequel standpoint. I'm not really sure what more you can do with the concept that the first film didn't already accomplish while maintaining that Who Goes There essential DNA. Like, you can make an action movie with a shapeshifter but it wouldn't really feel like The Thing. My pitch would probably be the end-of-world scenario playing out where our heroes just survive as long as they can with a bleak and nihilistic ending. But I can't really see a studio going for that sort of thing.

The blumhouse reboot should have the thing land within the continental United States and have it end like the first episode of Midnight Gospel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjNkPuFeMvs

When I was young and dumb (I'm now old and dumb) I used to fantasize about a The Thing vs The Blob movie. It could be a lot of fun, given that The Blob is presumably impervious to The Thing, but The Thing would be able to out-strategise The Blob. Then you'd presumably have a bunch of unfortunate humans caught in the crossfire.

It sounds like this new version of The Thing is an alternate adaptation of Who Goes There? more than a remake of the movie, and honestly, between that and Carpenter being involved I'm on board. If Halloween 2018 was any indication, Carpenter being attached to a remake/reboot of one of his things is a good sign. e: yeah, on a further look, apparently an expanded version of Who Goes There? got discovered not that long ago, and this is specifically an adaptation of that, with them explicitly planning to include all the new stuff that got cut from the original story. I'm entirely okay with that, especially since The Thing was already attempt #2 in the first place. WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Aug 25, 2020 |

I haven't seen the Ethan Hawk remake, but I wanted to clarify that all of Carpenter's works (yes including Halloween) AOP13 has a core that's accessible and malleable than the rest. No one wants another Escape from New York. VFW is probably the best possible outcome, but the "band of suspicious men under siege by punks" sub-genre is starved for the amount of potential it holds.

Assault on Precinct 13 is basically a remake of Rio Bravo. As is Ghosts of Mars. and kinda sorta Prince of Darkness I guess?

You can do a lot with the premise of "badass gets dropped into hostile area with no support, in order to rescue a VIP" without having it literally just be Escape from NY again.
