someone needs to remake Something Wicked This Way Comes.

That's heresy. The original is a classic.

saw it again, seems a bit dated. sorry. Tim Burton would do it justice.

If Tim Burton directs it, that guarantees I won't see it. Cause he did a great job with Planet of the Apes.....

Most overrated director ever.

When he's good, he's very good.

Sadly, he's not always good.

At least he isn't the one remaking THE WICKER MAN!!

Agreed. Batman was pants, as was the sequel. His animation is pure style without substance. Mars Attacks was awful, as was Edward Scissorhands.

Thank you Loremaster!

The only movie of his I can say I enjoyed was Beetlejuice, and that was wholly because of Michael Keaton's manic performance.

I never saw the original Wicker Man, but I'm skeptical about the remake too.

Though I might be in the minority, I thought the Seven Samurai remake was mediocre.

I did hear their working on a 7Samurai sequel, called 8Samurai.

BUT THE WICKER MAN!!



I still haven't seen the remake, and it is my understanding that I should never do so.

Has it been released then?

how could they possibly re-do the dance?

Yeah they released it. I swear to god, that was the point when Nicolas Cage's career starting the downward toilet spiral.

It was mediocre. Don't waste your time with it. :p

I thought his career started down the toilet with The Rock.

Cage was decent in Face Off.

I thought he was good in Matchstick Men, Lord of War, Snake Eyes, I mean there are good movies with him in it...but it started going downhill with Wickerman and Ghost Rider.

I have to admit, I wasn't watching the original Wicker Man for the artistic ends...but it didn't seem all that great to me.

That, I think, was the very movie I decided I was done with him. And action movies for a time. I nearly stood up in the theater during the damn boat race and shouted, "End the movie, already, fer chrissake!"

From what I've read about the Wicker Man re-make, it's apparently little more than scene after scene of Cage running around and yelling hysterically. Wonder if that more or less describes all his recent roles.

Video game adaptations never work. Ever.

I caught Silent Hill a while ago on late night TV. Thought it was fairly well-done: it tried to be imaginative, instead of relying too much on gore. The ending was bittersweet and haunting, and that counts for something.

This is all I've seen of the Wicker Man, and I think it's all I really needed to see:

(That's gotta be the least convincing screams since the end of Revenge of the Sith...)

I never bothered with the remake but I've seen that clip Murrin shared at least ten times. It looks a thousand times worse than I thought it could be.

The original is a real gem. Christopher Lee ranks iot as one of his favourite films and it's interesting to note that the screenwriter donated his services for free (due to a very low budget).
