heard last night there is a new film coming out for the 25th anniversary! any truth in it?

 

Saw this at the cinema last week, its just a release of the first film i thought?

 

I think it's being shown again in the cinema, re touched, hd blah blah etc

Don't know if they are doing a new one, Would Michael J Fox be up to that for heath reasons ? Doesn't he have Parkinson's or something ?

 

Thought this was just the originals being released in blu-ray

 

It's the first one: http://myvue.com/cinemas/film_info_d...&fi=4195|3380|

 

What i heard was there was going to be a remake! but dont know if there is any truth in it?

 

I thought they were just reworking it for HD.

As far as remakes go, I wish they'd leave these old films alone. We watched The Karate Kid the other day and it's an 'OK' film, not as good as the original, not by a long shot. Surely there are enough ideas these days to make films about without having to cash in on old ideas.

 

Is the "Karate Kid" remake that you mention that film recently about a kid who learns KUNG FU?

Are they planning on doing a followup called "The baseball kid" about a kid who learns to play cricket?

 

Yes, the one where Jackie Chan does a really crap job of acting Japanese.

 

Yeah, its just original remastered, taking lad to see it, cant wait personally, all three films were part of my childhood but never got to see them at cinema.

 

Your right there bud, and its a big gamble too imo, as it can ruin the legacy that some of the classics have acquired over time!

 

I like that idea, its when they try to remake them with new actors etc.

Can you imagine when they get hold of stuff like Top Gun, Days of Thunder etc etc? Those films were great in their day, classics infact, and still VERY enjoyable to watch now, but I wouldn't be slightly interested in watching a remake. If they want to make a romantic/action film about a fighter-pilot training school or Nascar racing, fair enough, but make it a new concept with a new script IMO.

 

Goonies on the big screen FTW!!!

 

Dan, no it would have to be a remake for days of thunder or you wouldnt get the "he didnt smash into you, he didnt bump you and he didnt nudge you, he rubbed you, and rubbing son, is racing!" line

 

This is the best remake of Karate kid, it's not work safe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xnKFzeW5Ms

 

Back to the future will never be remade according to Robert Zemeckies...... The guy behind the films...

Its just been remastered and showing on selected screens around the country....

 

As for remakes...

Knight Rider anyone?

Its an example of how not to do it.

Batman, now that was worth it.

 

Are you giving your lad a day off school to go and see it with you?

 

im gonna make a week of it, watching 1,2,3 back to back. Teach him about real life, you know, flux capacitors and things

 

 

yeah film isnt altered in any way scene wise apart from the gonan be in HD i think looks awsome!! i also never got to see it at cinema too young (not born at the time haha) but love them all and cant wait! i hope it does well and beats the new films at the box office even tho its only bin released at a few cinemas

Young Biff: Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?
Old Biff: It's *leave*, you idiot! "Make like a tree, and leave." You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.
Young Biff: All right then, LEAVE! And take your book with you!

 

GREAT SCOTT!!!!

lol classic film should be left well alone when films are remade they are never as good as the original look at the italian job ye the remake was good but it will never top the original imo

 

if they made them "classic" films today, would they be the same though?

would they fuck, they'd be classed as pants and would flop big time

the only reason they were big back in the day is because they were for that era, things like the good the bad and the ugly, would you go and watch a film at the cinema that was 3 hours long?

the classics should be viewed as such, classic films that take you back to your childhood etc to relive your happier days when you didn't have a care in the world other than what you were having for dinner and an excuse as to why you didn't do your homework

 

Nah, this will never happen. Always been a big fan of the franchise and kept track on the "stories".

There was a story that Michael J. Fox was interested in playing Doc in a 4th film, with a new younger cast being added. But due to health problems, it just won't happen.

Plus, the Delorean was destroyed in the 3rd film,......who the hell wants to watch a film about a time travelling locomotive?!?!

But Ghostbusters 3 is deffo happening!!!

 

Yes theres a new one coming out

I saw it a week last tuesday..........

 

LOTR trilogy where 3 hour films?

 

lol jokes that is

 

but everyone and their mother was waiting for someone to film it, not the same as watching a 12 hour film though is it

 

"Roads' where were going we dont need roads"

 

I've pre-ordered the £67.99 Blu Ray box set from Play with the Delorean model. Mrs thinks I'm mad but there's some films justified on DVD and Blu Ray. Upscaled DVD via the PS3 it looks good, but you should see all the Xtra's with it such as an Almanac, and an Outtatime numberplate, deleted sxenes and stuff. I can't see how you'd replace Fox and Lloyd as the main characters for a remake, i mean The A-Team was ok, but it was never as epic as the original series, same with The Dukes Of Hazzard, same with Knight Rider 2000 with K.I.T.T not being in a Trans Am. I'm wanting to go to the pictures this weekend and watch it, just need a purple T-shirt, denim jacket and a red life preserver pmsl. I have as close to Marty's Nike's as I can find at the moment. At sencondary school instead of Geography me and a mate dedicated an A5 booklet to Back To The Future mistakes.
