Won't even be good for a laugh, methinks.

If I wanted to laugh at Akira, I would just watch the late 80s English dub, where everyone sounds like they have thick Boston/New York accents.

On one hand... I wouldn't mind more naval combat movies.

On the other... This looks like the absolute stupidest damn thing ever.

This will apparently be Rhianna's screen debut. Um... Good for her?

As for Liam Neeson... Dude, if you lost a bet you can tell us. We might be willing to cover it as long as you don't do any more movies like this.

Guhhhh...

I, for one, am looking forward to hearing Liam Neeson say (with a straight face) "They sunk our Battleship..."

Hollywood these days is so messed up that the only thing that can really be pushed through it without a major power struggle are gimmicky 3D bullshit, mindless sequels/remakes, and guaranteed merchandise films.

This is an example of the last. In a way, it's even better for them if there is pre-existing merchandise. Hence, why there are going to be a number of upcoming board game movies.

So get ready for a Clue remake and Candyland. <_<

But seriously, this actually disgusts me.

Now Clue, they could do. There's enough to do a movie out of that, though they'd either have to be super-serious about it or mocking the hell out of every murder-mystery ever for it to work. Heck, they did a book series. But it was for kids, so nobody (pun unintentional) ever actually died.

Battleship I can see. Use the name and make a movie about a couple of ships taking on random aliens. Could be fun as a pure guy movie, shit blowing up, etc. Drop the signature line, of course, and then ninety minutes of explosions and a few male bonding moments between father and prospective son-in-law, including one or the other dying. Success. It can't lose. It doesn't win, but it can't lose.

It's a prequel. Not a remake.

All that stuff with MacReady is still valid.

I know that doesn't help much, but it's better than being remade.

Still they should really change the name to Before The Thing or The Thing: The Beginning.

They DID a Clue movie. It was awesome; saw it two years ago. It was actually pretty serious, though there was a lot of black comedy.

Well, when Tim Curry is playing Mr. Boddy's butler, it is HILARIOUS! Especially the end, as we learn how the murder occurred..and true to form, there're multiple whodunits(though when you see it on TV, they show all 3; when it was in theaters, people saw only one ending.)

There was a fourth ending filmed, according to Wikipedia (available <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clue_(film)#Fourth_ending' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Here</a>). Supposedly, it's been seen on tv, but I've never seen it. Sadly, it's not available on the DVD.

Still, a re-imagining of Clue would be cool, provided they keep it at least semi-comedic. That was the best thing about the original film: yeah, it was a murder mystery, but it was funny as all hell at the same time.

Also: Tim Curry must cameo. That is all.

Anyone notice something they added, that was not in the books?

That is a rule that should be applied to the majority of movies.
...

Yes. Yes. :yay: Someone call up the studios and make them do this.

If I'm remembering correctly after not having read any of the books in almost 20 years, Dejah Thoris' top. :snigger:

That and more, IIRC. Pretty sure Martians didn't wear clothes.

Which is part of why I'm annoyed. I'm not surprised that they're not being book-accurate, just annoyed.

Please. Disney has had dicks and tits in their children's moveis since they were drawing them by hand.

<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F6DU6gx7-w' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Apollo 18, after being delayed five times, is finally being released this September.</a>

Now, it may be because I haven't seen as many mockumentary films as other people, but I have to admit I want to see this film. I'm a sucker for Space Race-related movies that add a twist to things. And yeah, my inner scientist is already biting at the bit to snark on the bad science in this film but hey, it might be fun. And the viral marketing is kind of neat.

<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auE1FAGP1Kc' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Next, a movie about Iraq that's NOT about the war: "The Devil's Double".</a>

It definitely looks interesting, dramatic and actually focuses on just how corrupt and monstrous Saddam and his sons were. Because really, no matter your politics you should at least recognize these guys were cruel, disgusting monsters.

<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLKR3GdIK80&feature=channel_video_title' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Finally... Another Final Destination Movie.</a>

Strange, I just recently found myself thinking, "if only there was another boring, by the numbers, lame, uninspired piece of shit movie on the horizon." And lo and behold, Final Destination 5! A movie franchise that should have ended halfway through the first shitty film.

Final Destination and Saw seem to be this generation's horror franchise.

Ya know, at least Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th and Halloween started strong and well done and then went downhill into shit. Saw and Final Destination started out stupid and badly written and just dropped like a rock from there.

Don't drink anything while watching it, or watch if you're unhealthy, though.

Just to spoil your attempted prank, the dead body is a crappy cgi skeleton that flashes briefly with an accompanying scary/loud noise in the last few seconds of the film.

I hate shit like that.

If final destination were somewhat realistic: Oh these people have cheated death! He's gonna kill em anyways though! Next 5 scenes of every character who has to die having a fatal heart attack. Movie is done in 30 minutes.
