fall movies

The Box - As long as they manage to stretch the premise to two hours without collapsing into a heap of illogic and contrivance.

I doubt it.

I wonder if they'll use the original ending or the Twilight Zone ending.

I wonder if Cameron Diaz's bobble-head will eventually fall off that neck of hers.[/QUOTE]


I haven't read the script, but, judging from the trailer, they're not just padding out the Matheson story to two hours; they're using it as the starting point for a much larger conspiracy.

In the original story and TZ ep, it's never explained where THE BOX came from or what the Man in Black is up to. The trailer, on the other hand, shows the protagonists trying to unravel the mystery.

I'm guessing that the original story is just Act I . . . .

"Where the Wild Things Are" is the only one I'm really excited about, but I'll probably end up seeing a few more in the theater.

I'm a grown man, but am I the only one who tears up just a tiny bit when they watch that trailer? I'm tearing up now thinking about it!

I teared up the first 4 or 5 times I watched the trailer, right around the "Inside all of us is...FEAR" part. Trailers don't normally make me do that.

9, Surrogates, Zombieland, Where the Wild Things Are, Avatar, and Sherlock Holmes are the ones I'm interested in.

I can't wait to see the Lovely Bones.

I liked the looks of Pandorum.

 

[Greylock Crescent]

Where The Wild Things Are & 9. I'll probably wander in to see Cirque du Freak since my students read those books a lot. And, of course, I'll be there with everyone to see what all the fuss is about for Avatar.

Ah shoot. It sounds like The Gamer is crap. And I had high hopes that the premise could have been used to create a good movie that thumbs its nose at brainless shoot-em-ups rather than being itself a brainless shoot-em-up.

Tron Legacy news.

 

[Thrall]

Avatar is Cameron doing Sci Fi action. With Space Marines. He practically invented the damn thing. This is going to be awesome by default.

But first, How did this gem get overlooked?

You gotta respect any movie about a shark and an octopus that manages to get an airplane in on the action. I only hope the sequel features the space shuttle.

There were actually a few threads on this Oscar contender when the trailer first came out. It's par for the course for The Asylum, but at least they're not ripping off something else like with The Terminators, Transmorphers: Fall of Man, Snakes on a Train or The Da Vinci Treasure.

The two I'm most looking forward to are THE BOX and THE WOLF MAN.

The Wolfman was pushed back to 2010.

I know. Which I guess no longer makes it a fall movie, but it's still the upcoming film I'm most curious about.

I'm interested in most of the films listed here.

Moon and The Hurt Locker have just shown up at the theater here on Ft Benning.

I'm there.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

So far, the only one that I can say I'm very interested in is Sherlock Holmes.

I'm definately looking forward to Avatar but that has more to do with James Cameron. After Aliens & The Terminator, I'll watch anything of his at least once. (Hell, I bought Piranha II on a blind buy.)

The concept for The Road sounds interesting but I'll have to see more.

And I just got a free pass to a preview screening of 9 on Tuesday.

 

[ATimson]

I was interested in DAYBREAKERS, but it's not coming out until January. And it was filmed in 2007. Not a good sign.

I don't know the movie in question, but how effects-heavy was it, and when in 2007 did it shoot? Two years from shoot to screen is about how long Star Wars movies take, from what I remember.

 

[T'Girl]

Like the look of the guy in the promo pic for the movie "Gamer",maybe we can get him to play Kirk in star trek 12?

Usual don't go to see movies just for the FX, going to make an exception for both 2012 and avatar. The trailer for 2012 on youtube is hot.

I heard that the producers raised the money amount to a million, from the orginal low amount (40,000 ?), it makes more sense the orginal way for todays culture, you could have it be a single dollar and people would just ask how many times they could push the button!
