I'll stick with the idea that (I believe) came from Douglas Adams: Anyone capable of getting themselves elected president should under no circumstances be allowed to have that job.
Apple has a trailer for Dorothy and the Witches of Oz. Not sure how I feel about it, but I LOVE that the trailer ends with "In Glorious 2D!" #observationdeck
Somehow, I think what we would have gotten would have been closer to Zardoz than the original novel.
The "I, Robot" film might work with a sequel: It just can't involve the old cast. After the Robot Revolution, humanity needs to reject all the robots like Sonny, going so far as to destroy/confine them. But Sonny would need an appearance upgrade to make him truly humanoid, almost indistinguishable from human. Then he can become R. Daneel Olivaw in "The Caves of Steel". The problem is that Will Smith's Detective Spooner already trusts Sonny, and we, as the audience, already do, too. He can't be Elijah Bailey. The book's best aspect isn't the mystery: it's the two of them learning about each other, which, in the case of the film world, we've already seen. If you can't carry your two biggest assets into the sequel, why should it be a sequel?
We deserve a "Caves of Steel" movie.
I could see the "I, Robot" film's setting actually leading to a film rendition of "Caves of Steel", except that society at large would have to have reacted badly to the Robot revolution and they couldn't use Wil Smith, since he already has a robot friend he trusts. I would kill to see Alan Tudyk portray an upgraded R. Daneel Olivaw, though.
So long as we have lots more CGI monkeys hitting people in the balls. No, wait... I meant...
So Greedo shot first and we didn't know it because Lucas was both a crap scriptwriter and a crap editor?
4. Enjoy your role as producer. Hire a real director.
"Quantum Instability."
I so want one of these to rig my front door for Halloween.
I like it. A Global Fart Theory.
They seem to be a lot closer to the original illustrations than the MGM version to me. This is the same sort of knee-jerk reaction that Disney's Return to Oz originally generated when they went back to the source material rather than the mega-popular interpretation.
Well according to the CDC, your chance of being diagnosed with ADHD more than doubles if you live in the southeastern united states. [www.cdc.gov]
The correlation with states with a low per capita income is also striking. I believe ADHD is real, but there's a awful lot that's fishy about the industry around it.
I remember going to the theater to see both "White Buffalo" and "Food of the Gods". For "Night of the Lepus", I had to wait until Bad Movie Night at college. Dodd's was a such a great video store. He had every one of these on a single shelf. (I take that back: White Buffalo might have been mixed in with the Westerns.)
Now you just need to add "Empire of the Ants"...
"He declined the courtesy with thanks remarking that he was acquainted with as many crazy people as he cared to know."
I must remember that response. I'm certain it will come in handy one day.
Maybe it's of some legitimate benefit in some cases, but often it's an over promoted crutch.
Less CHNOPS, more SCHNAPPS.
I'm sorry. That's just not Peter Parker's hair.
It worked fine until he wandered into starbucks between takes...
Yeah, others in the thread are right. #3's been done. Dan Simmons did a marvelous job with cold, cold setting and creepy, creepy atmosphere. And his scenes with the is-it-real beast are as unnerving as anything I've ever read.
