Wow. I had no idea this was being worked on... I hope it turns out ok, because the first movie was pretty awesome.
There's a "work-in-progress" trailer here.





yeah it was really funny when sandra bullock was in rehab.
sorry i couldn't resist :roll:
I loved the first one. I had no idea they were making a sequel! I'm really pumped for it.
No Danny Boyle = video rental (at best!)
No Cillian Murphy either. :(
Plus, the original writer is supposedly working on a script for the Halo movie.
So yeah, I have my expectations lowered for this sequel.
Robert Carlyle's in it though, so that's at least one tick in this movie's favor.
You're right, Carlyle is a definite selling point, but he probably just needs the work.
Wasn't Halo cancelled/postponed after the studio pulled out? I had heard that Jackson and Microsoft were shopping around but decided to hold off for a while because Jackson wanted to do something else first.
Yeah, Halo is on the back burner for now. Although now since he won't be doing the Hobbit maybe he'll have time.
I saw this movie last night. I still really don't know what to think about it. On one hand I liked it, and on the other I didn't. It is pretty disturbing in some parts and does make you get tense in a few moments. But then it has some cheesy Hollywood plotline about a family and how they keep getting back together after being separated and blah blah..
one other thing I really noticed and was anoying was how the film sound was mixed. It's really really hella LOUD in the action sequences and then normal volume in the rest. I'm sure that's to add to the uncomfy feeling they are trying to make, but still... I'd like to watch zombies ears bleed, not my own.
So, this was my lunchtime movie today. I guess it was pretty decent, although not nearly as terrifying as the first movie and a little too "Hollywoodized" for my taste. For one thing, making it like 90% American was strange, it'd be like Shawn of the Dead 2 being set in Iowa. One of the things I liked about the first movie was the extremely UK basis of it, including struggling to understand what people were even saying at times.
Was it scary? I guess so. The first 10 minutes of the movie may have been superior to the balance of the movie in that respect though. The "cheese" factor was almost overwhelming though, with the whole dad thing (don't want to spoil, you'll see), and really even the mom thing. Sadly the minute they check the son into the facility and make the big deal of the two colored eyes it gave away 90% of the remaining plot for me. Fun watch if you're bored and a fan of the first I guess, but really you could spend 90 minutes doing almost anything else and it'd be better spent.
yea, i was wildly disappointed with the second flick... repeatedly showing the father seemed to completely contradict the whole argument that its a faceless\unbiased condition etc etc among other things... the first was brilliant though.
Yep, the Dad thing is exactly what pissed me off most about this movie.
I was actually fairly impressed by this. At least as far as unnecessary sequels go.
