Love Howard's Conan novels but not a fan of the Conan movies, still I'll probably have to check it out. Any word on who the villians will be for the Spider-man movies?

I'm hoping it's The Lizard!

Ugh, another Will Smith - I Am Legend movie?

Just as I was recovering from the ocular cancer that was the first one.

Too many re-makes.

Gillman-Fan · June 13, 2009, 05:20:15 PM

I try not to take a hard-line against remakes until I've actually seen them. I can think of maybe 6 horror/sci-fi remake that I consider valid on their own merit. That's not saying much considering what's out there.

I hope the "The Thing" remake is more of a sequel in the same way that John Carpenters was.

Robocop, Highlander and Dune have had more than their fair share of exposure on the big and small screens IMO.

Re Spiderman 4 villians: Sounds like Carnage and the Lizard will be making appearances. I also wouldn't rule out a return of the original Green Goblin . . . baddies never stay dead.

The Thing...again? Please create something new!

I would be interested in I Am Legend prequel. I enjoyed the Will Smith movie as well as Vincent Price in The Last Man On Earth. Its a great story.

Baron, you and I are at polar opposites on this topic . . . which is great.

I think "The Thing" by it's very nature could provide some very interesting story developments be they prequel or sequel, while seems quite I Am Legend is played out.

What I've heard is The Thing is not a remake or a sequel but a prequel that will be the story of what happened when the Norwegians find the saucer. The movie will end wherre Carpenter's begins. I'm still waiting for a sequel that will put the thing in a city... and we know how that's going to go.

That does sound interesting. I would want to see that.

If the prequel is the Norwegian story, I'll admit that is an interesting story that I would want to see. I was thinking another remake would be just that: another mediocore remake with CGI bursting at the seams. There are some remakes I do like: Carpenter's The Thing, Halloween, Dawn of the Dead among others, but most I could do without.

I Am Legend is from a great story. I don't remember The Omega Man very well, but I know the other 2 movie adaptations. Will Smith did an incredible in that movie IMO, that kept me glued to the screen. Yes, there were some Hollywood moments and I wish the zombies were different, but it was an excellent update to The Last Man on Earth, which also is one of my Vincent Price favorites.

I'm not sure what proper follow up story could come from a prequel, but I am a Will Smith fan so I would be interested.

its going to be tuff to top the last thing............

I don't think of prequels or sequels as remakes at all. When the moron from the TV show "Wings" decided to remake The Shining basically shot for shot, THAT was a remake (and a particularly awful one). When the "new" Psycho came out, same thing. The "new" Salem's Lot. etc etc. All wastes of time.

Prequels and sequels are not remakes. They're a continuation of a previous storyline. Who would call the latest Star Wars a remake of the original??
