Remake of Wickerman - can it be true?

[Bomber]

For some reason I keep reading the title of this thread and reading it as 'Rick Wakeman ~ can it be true'

They should leave it alone. Maybe we should threaten to remake Easy Rider with the Chuckle Brothers riding scooters on the Isle of Wight unless they leave our fucking movies alone.

nicolas cage is fucking crap in everything he's ever in these days.

Don't agree here. A lot of his action movies leave me cold, but it's not my cup of tea anyway.
He wa excellent in Charlie Kaufman's film Adaptation though, an interesting performance I thought

 

[Belushi]

Its gonna be shit

Remake of Wickerman

...Sacrilege!!!
< sacrifices doves >
< puts on hood >
< waits for secret signal >
< observes cornfield rustling >

Just treat it as a new film.

If you leave the original where it is and dont compare the two, no one will have a heart attack

yes they will. When the cinemas burn they will.

can't talk - meeting the CB's for lunch at Soho House - apparently Jack Nicholson wants to reprise his role but I was thinking George from Rainbow - a big gay hippo drinking whisky and toasting DH Lawrence outside Isle of Wight prison


*resolves to stop taking drugs for a while*

Will it have Chuck Norris in it?


I'll definitely go to see it if it's got Chuck Norris in it.

i do not have much faith in the bearded one...tbh.
sad to let down a hard-working, honest, martial arts master, but it's the bitter truth...
i'm sorry to say. he just doesn't convince. perhaps he should stick to what he knows, not embarrassing himself in this "acting"-malarkey...better men have been broken by less- and to be reduced to a joke ain't that nice...just think of (albeit a man without any skills to speak of) the horrendous ' Hoff...! < cringes >

I see your even-headedness, and understand the whole "get over it, they've done it" ethos....but i'm with joining hands in a circle, and burning the prints.

Chucking in Nic Cage and the fuckwitted Hollywood bigwigs that have stripped the idea down to the barest roots would be a bonus.

 

[bushphobia]

This is genius and must be done.

lmfao.
And this is a bad idea?

 

[madamv]

I'm really looking forward to it now

Then they shouldn't call it "The Wickerman" then

no, the wiccaman

Oh yes please.

The funny thing is, on one level the Wickerman is crap. Utter, utter shite. That's on one level. On another level it's a classic. If they try and make it not crap in the remake, it won't be a classic. Paradoxically, it'll just be crap.

If you see what I mean.

i agree. it's like a dark carry on film for a lot of it, the horror comes when yr not expecting it cos its been all shocked babes in baths so far...my mates hate it, you need to watch it, not expecting loads of plot twists and to sing badly along to the songs..i love the wicker man

Cage plays a (non-Virgin) Sheriff with a slight lactose intolerance (thus he caries with him a pack of Settler's Tums and lactase enzyme drops). Cage arrives in the community of Summerisle to investigate the dissapearance of Roen. He finds a matriarchal society run by Lady Summerisle. One weapon at the disposal of the Summerisle folk is....a well-stocked cheeseboard (just as well Cage has the Tums, eh?).

Robin Hardy is said to be taking legal action over the use of the Wicker Man title and the false claim that he has anything to do with it. Christopher Lee said to be speechless.

it's bleedin cultural imperialism gone mad.

If this film sets foot in these Islands the film will burn.

That's a disgrace. Bloody heathens!

 

[Fledgling]

I heard this, too. It can't be done. And I won't be watching it.

You'll have to watch it despite its likely inferiority. I think we can't judge too harshyl yet, ok I agree the idea in fact the concept of a remake warrants complaints from us fans (I'm a fan and I've only seen it twice), but the film itself might be good.

But if there's a happy ending where they let him go or he's saved by marines or conscientious villagers I'll be complaining. The beauty of the original was ts rough edged look and erriness. All the money and time and talent will not replace that.

On a lighter note how about David Dickinson for Lord Summerisle?

and anne robinson for willow?

No I won't.

I decided long ago that life's too short for:

*Films of Books I've Read (Unless It's Harry Potter and I'm taking the kids).
*Remakes.
*Books you don't like at first. (I used to persevere, now I just toss them aside).
*Second class stamps.
*Arseholes.

 

[Fledgling]

Well, the list you've given contains a few I'd agree with, but if not an actual viewing surely a few reviews? I know that this film will be bad but I feel s bit high and mighty criticising it before it's even out, you see?

Oh and right on about Harry Potter but as I do not have kids I skip these films until they come out at Christmass on TV and I've had a few beers.

 

[pilchardman]

surely a few reviews?

Oh, christ, yes. I have to read reviews.

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do
Your tongue has frozen now you’ve got something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way

You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death
Hello to eternity and live for every breath


Your time will come, your time will come
Your time will come, your time will come

The ferryman wants his money you ain’t going to give it back
He can push his own boat as you set up off the track
Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same
Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame

You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light
Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain
The shadow of the wicker man is rising up again


Your time will come, your time will come
Your time will come, your time will come

Your time will come, your time will come
Your time will come, your time will come
Your time will come, your time will come
Your time will come, your time will come

 

[onemonkey]

okay, so it is mostly gibberish but it is a great singalong chorus.. (Just like all those other Iron Maiden classics!!)

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Apparently, this is the woman who'll be playing Willow in the remake.

I'm going. Do you think she'll use her own body?

 

[Belzub]

none of the songs on brave new world make any sense... like they just lost all their ideas for lyrics or something.
