Digsy Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I was chatting to with my mates about this up the pub the other night... I must say that I've been waiting for a decent movie adaptation ever since I read the book and got the Jeff Wayne double LP (which I still have somewhere). Glossing over the first deplorable American effort, I had high hopes that this might do better but after looking at the website I can't say I'm getting my hopes up. Probably too late already but please, please, please, Hollywood. You've gone and set it in America again. Don't fcuk it up any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 There was a thread about this a while back. I'll go see it coz it'll be big bucks and loads of graphics type film. Should be entertaining, but as you say, im not gonna hold my breath for a great remake. Talking of remakes, they're doing a sequal to theb last Italian Job film. Oh Joy, kill me now.

Supragal Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Saw the trailer in NY. It looked good actually. Obviously given I literally live on Horsell Common it's not gonna be quite right in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 You've gone and set it in America again. Don't fcuk it up any more. You've got to be kidding me, WHY? Bloody American's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 You've got to be kidding me, WHY? Bloody American's! Because aliens look at the world and realise that it's a nation run by idiots and populated by fools who deserve to be blown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Anyone know what the fighting machines will look like in the new film? Hopefully tripedal like the book and not the hovering art deco desk lamps in the last film! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 If I was an Alien - I would blow up America and then leave the planet to chuckle at a job well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yeah, but, we get to see the yanks mullered by the aliens, and then something far more intellectually superior kills the aliens - cold germs. Maybe they'll use a "computer" virus to kill the aliens this time around -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Because aliens look at the world and realise that it's a nation run by idiots and populated by fools who deserve to be blown up. Harsh. Would be nice to see the aliens come kick some ass around the innercities in this country, could do with a fresh start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was harsh too after i wrote it, but im now watching "Bowling For Columbine" and im now not so sure. Your right about this country though. There's a few places i wouldn't mind reduced to ruble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
