:banghead:

It's good to see the flamethrowers are back, though. Do you think a bearded Kurt Russell will show up at the end of the movie?

1. Looks like a ripoff of Alien(s)

Well, if you must steal, steal quality.

3. it looks exactly like the first one

Just pretending they're Norwegian, so it can be called a prequel instead of a remake. I even saw a shot of a dog in a cage, so I'm sure we'll get a remake of the scene were the "dog" attacks the other, normal dogs.

8. Not the best idea to judge a film by the trailer, but

pretty, albeit smart brave woman facing down a monster. Probably an argument about child raising techniques; if they get in the middle of that cage match, men always get killed.

Guys yucking it up, "Don't worry your pretty little head about it. We can handle it."

Finally, "Ducts! Why is it always ducts?"

2. Is it in Norwegian?

I thought the Thing escaped from a Norwegian base. :shrug:

4. you can see the Norwegian flag in the beginning of the trailer

though everyone of course speaks in perfect American English.

5. I just went through imdb's list of upcoming films

Sequels, Prequels, Remakes and Ripoffs.


Another so-called Sherlock Holmes
Another remake of the swedish series for people who can't read
The Muppets
More Twilight
Puss & Boots Shrek spinoff
More Harold and Kumar
Footloose
The Three Musketeers
Another Johnny English
Fright Night
Straw Dogs
Final Destination 5
and to round things out well

An Eddie Murphy movie that has sat on the shelf for THREE YEARS!!!!!

A few possible gems are still being made but few and far between.

6. Works for me, the vast majority of movies made today suck big time. nt

7. And they're going to 'remake' 'Dirty Dancing'! Who would want to watch it?
