Talleyrand Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 1 hour ago, Veltigar said: It's such a shameless thing to do. The basic concept isn't exactly new, so why they didn't find another title just beggars belief. Because "Kind of Original Western with a pretty similar plot to Magnificent 7" isn't a big of a marketing draw and would inevitably get the response (online especially) of "isn't this just Magnificent 7 under a different name?"

One day, the people who just utterly dislike reboots will hopefully be in the majority and we can end these blatant cash grabs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of my favourite SF books ever (Kethani by Eric Brown) is about a mass appearance of alien ships/structures on Earth that wasn't a hostile takeover.Apparently it's based on the Ted Chiang short The Story of your Life. I know people around here absolutely rave about him, how is that for a story/how much is this actually looking to be based on it? Hmm, interesting. Chiang's story is wonderful, but the only similarities I am seeing between the trailer and the story are an alien encounter and a linguist. I highly recommend Ted Chiang's, The Story of Your Life.

Let's hope it will end up in the same ballpark as The Knick qualitywise On 14-8-2016 at 4:19 PM, AncalagonTheBlack said: This could also be good. Is it a full series or is it one of those pilot thingies Amazon regularly releases for us to decide if we like to see more?

With this and Free State of Jones the Mcconaissance seems to be hitting a bit of a stumbling block, and one of his upcoming films is about singing pigs and koalas which doesn't sound too promising. Maybe Dark Tower can bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eta: I'm not sure why, coz I normally like a good spoiler-free teaser, but none of the TV show ones up there did anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will live on in our hearts though Also a film about singing pigs and koalas, that seems like it could be rad Do you have a trailer for that at hand? 11 minutes ago, polishgenius said: Any movie star taking risks will eventually run into a shit movie or two.

At the very least, the cast is pretty awesome. Although I have to admit that until they showed which character the McConnaissance played, I had no idea that was him. Guess I'm pretty bad at voice identification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who came up with this trailer? Who thought that 'team' was a good idea. I mean the original show was incredibly 80s and cheesy, but you can't get away with that now, and if you do it you need to be aware of how bad it is. Thats why Macgruber is so good!

GallowKnight Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Reawakening horror franchises seems to be in vogue because not only are we getting a new Blair Witch movie, we're also getting a new The Ring movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
