#17961 The Sunset Strip » Child's Play remake » 948 weeks ago

While many of producer David Kirschner's recent movies with his partner Corey Siniega, such as the biopic Miss Potter and the upcoming Martian Child, might not necessarily be "Shock-worthy", Kirschner's second film, Child's Play roughly twenty years ago kicked off a popular horror franchise that has inspired many imitations and four sequels.
ShockTillYouDrop.com had a chance to interview Kirschner for his upcoming movie where he surprised us by announcing that they were working on another "Chucky" movie, which would be a remake of the original Child's Play. (But surely, we all knew this was coming, right?)
"We're discussing it with Don Mancini, who has written all of them with us from the beginning," Kirschner told us. "The next one we're going to do is we're going back and remaking the first one and even pushing it further and making a very terrifying version of the first one, which is pretty scary as it is."
"We haven't come up with anybody yet," he replied when asked whether they were looking at any of today's cutting-edge horror directors. "We haven't really discussed that. We've just been working on stories, so I think that'll be a fun process when we get there."
Of course, the age-old question of "Why?" immediately came up. "Look at 'Halloween'," he quickly responded. "It's kind of commerce to keep the franchise going, and another reason to go see it. For me, it's exciting, because the first one was really scary and then from there, we kind of'¦ my favorites are 1 and 4. I love 4, it really makes me laugh and I think Jennifer Tilly is so great, but just the idea of going back to where we were the first time around and I think for me, it's almost 30 years later for me as a filmmaker from where I started to now, and the idea of taking some skill that maybe I didn't possess then and putting it towards the next film, I think could be exciting."
Would they possibly use the same script? "I think it would be pretty close to it, that's for sure, but there's some other things that we're exploring also, and some twists that we don't want the audience to expect, as far as a couple deaths, where you think you're going in one way and you're going to go in another way as a result of knowing it and it being such a popular franchise." These new developments may include learning more about Charles Lee Ray, although they're discussing whether series regular Brad Dourif will be back in that role and once again voicing Chucky.
But don't just assume that because we're well into the 21st Century that Chucky will be any sort of CG motion-captured creation. "It'll be an animatronic doll, like we do all of them, but animatronics have grown from when we did the first one 20 years ago. We just did the commentary on the 20th Anniversary of it, and all the stars, the little kid Andy Barkley, all of that, so that's coming out in January/February."

Yeah, Axl and Bach could potentially do for Back in the Saddle what U2 did with Helter Skelter. Basically making the cover so good that there's no point in anyone else ever covering the song.

I just checked the site, and HTGTH archives from the 90's are no longer there. Strange.
#17964 Re: Management » if you ever miss the old place » 948 weeks ago
Yeah thats a really cool site. Any young members here who were never at HTGTH in the really old days, go check out how the site looked in the 90's.
#17965 Re: The Garden » The NFL 2007-08 Season thread » 948 weeks ago
The Pats aren't even a team. Its a machine that does nothing but score. Only way they lose this year is if they have a key player go down with a serious injury. Bengals continue to collapse, and with the Ravens losing also, the Browns can take another step towards playoff contention. Detroit is staying in the hunt, and if the Vikings end up losing to the Cowboys, we may see a two way race between the Packers and Lions for the division.
The NFC West is a mess. Rams, Cardinals, and 49ers lost(well, Rams game aint over yet). Looks like Seattle is going to win that division by default.
NFC East about to turn into the bloodbath I predicted. Giants continue to keep winning, Redskins winning as well, Eagles in trouble but not out of it, and of course the Cowboys having the whole country behind them with SB aspirations.
AFC West is a fucking mess as well. No team in that division deserves to go to the playoffs.
Anyone think the NFL should alter its playoff system? There is just way too many crappy teams that are gonna go to the playoffs this year just because they lucked in to winning a shit division. This season could easily see a 9-7 or 8-8 team win a division while teams with 11-5 records stay home.
I think the NFL should consider using an NBA type playoff system where the top teams based on record make it into the playoffs.
#17966 Re: Guns N' Roses » If "Chinese Democracy" Was A Slash Thing...? » 948 weeks ago
Would any record label have given Slash around $15 Million & till 2007+ to make an album, had he not done so since '91....?
No. While Slash may be an icon, he doesn't have the same aura as Axl.
Axl is the only person who would get such treatment from labels, which is amazing considering his small resume and few active years.
It really shows the impact GNR had.
#17967 Re: Guns N' Roses » KICKASS preview of Bach's album » 948 weeks ago
Wow. Thats an incredible review. Thats a bold statement claiming its the metal record of the decade. Since its being reviewed it will leak within days, maybe a week.

#17969 Re: The Garden » Sexual Misconduct becoming epidemic at U.S. Schools » 948 weeks ago
Well, how would people deal with the contact off school grounds? Cameras cant be a 100% deterrent. Remember, these teachers aren't all just offenders pouncing on innocent victims. This current generation of kids has sex on the brain and it doesn't look like anything is going to stop it.
One thing that needs to change at the high school level is having teachers that are only a couple years older than the students. Teachers starting out should be teaching at the K-5 level until they are at least in the mid 30's.
#17970 Re: The Garden » Sexual Misconduct becoming epidemic at U.S. Schools » 948 weeks ago
Cameras aren't the solution. Thats giving society a free pass. We as a nation have to figure out why we allowed our culture to reach this point, and what steps to take to bring some normalcy back to kids lives.
If society isn't willing to tackle this problem head on, then we need to phase out public schools and have kids learn at home on the computer. Kids aren't learning anything in school anymore that will help them better themselves.
