[Lqv2015]

Yet another movie made by a handheld camera.

It's a complete scene for scene remake of [rec] but watch [rec] because its awesome.

[TJenkins]

I usually hate snobbish people that are all like "pfft, go watch the original n00b"...but [REC] was pretty damn good and I have serious doubts this will come close. I'll see it, but my expectations are very low.

[Razorwing]

well at least the Doctor from MI:2 is in the movie. lol.

[Neztea]

Saw [rec] and that movie was completely awesome. When I heard about the remake that they're doing, I thought to myself "wow, why the hell would they do this" but then I realized that Hollywood has completely ran out of idea's so now they're just copying from foreign films.. This sucks :(

Yeah the only bonus I suppose is the fact it will be in English but I loved the Spanish language in [rec]

I suppose so, But I thought that it was better in Spanish. :). That and the acting in it was superb to be quite honest. What saddens me the most is that this movie recently came out, yet Hollywood is already cashing in on it and made a trailer for it. What they should of called this movie was [copy&paste] :p

Did anyone notice that the girl playing the reporter plays Debra, Dexter's sister, in Dexter?

While on the skinny side, she's very pretty.

This film looks retarded though. Just my opinion, but hasn't the zombie genre been played out in the last, oh I don't know, 30 years?

Jay Hernandez from Hostel also plays in this film.

Yeah have you seen [rec] I have been meaning to ask?

[Hurmoth]

Yes, I loved it :yes: Don't get me wrong, every once in a while a zombie film comes along that I like, but I want original stories and we're not getting them anymore.

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah I mean theres not much tho really that zombies can do...eat brains and stagger :p

[Hurmoth]

'Tis true that zombies can only eat brains and stagger, which is why the zombie is dead (pun intended :p ).

I loved 28 Days Later because the zombies were more realistic. They weren't technically "dead", they were still alive, just infected with rage. And they didn't go after just humans either, they took their rage out on everything in their way. Which is different because most zombies ignore buildings and other animals and focus only on humans. But if they were dead, how would they know the difference between a dog and a human? There's no thought process, yet they seem to know exactly what they want.

They've been doing that for a while now. One of the ridiculous examples too:

TAXI (France) - kick ass movie

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0152930/

TAXI (US) - a total disaster

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316732/

By the way, [REC] is an absolute Jewl. It will scare your pants off. US version looks horrible and is a recommended pass. Just get the spanish version with subs. It's more authentic too as you really feel you are watching a documentary (real thing).

Yeah thats what made that film awesome plus I thought Land of the Dead was good because it changed the way we thought about Zombies because they started to think just like if they were alive.

You really thought Land of the Dead was good?

"they're just trying to find a place to live" :x

For the most part it looks exactly like the original... seems rather unnecessary.

[zerologic]

That looks good. :o So it's out in October (Y)

The only reason they are redoing this is because most Americans wont see something that is not in English, i guess they feel uncomfortable reading subs or maybe they think only US can make good movies... This is from personal experience, where i have been over my uncles on the US, and my cousins and their friends just refuse to watch anything in other languages.. :(

** I said most Americans, not ALL Americans....

Yeah I think this is the point I love the first purely because of its lowish budget and the fact it is foreign.

Well I won't be seeing this movie because it is shot with the stupid "handheld camera view" much like Cloverfield and Blair Witch (which were also terrible IMO).

But, I have to acknowledge that I'm not one of those from the US who refuses to see sub-titled movies. I've seen several of those movies in theaters and out and enjoyed them as much or more than "normal" movies. For instance, I saw Jet Li's 'Fearless' in theaters 3 times and own the DVD now. :) I love that movie.

[Lqv2015]

Trailer's out.

Looks very promising.

Original > Remake

It's just not scary because we can understand it.

I totally agree and I live in the US! Most foreign films don't compare to the overrated, regurgitated crap they put on the screen nowadays. Honestly the older movies and foreign films are far more creative and inventive. Rarely is there a worthy movie that comes out that is actually worth buying/seeing. Some people are just lazy and don't want to read subtitles, society... :no: (This offends anyone, forgive me but Neowin forums are mostly opinions anyways)
