Members JackPeyton Posted November 17, 2009 Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 this looks so good. I have been waiting for a year now to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted November 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 You wait and then they go and delay it until February. Scorsese suuuure slicked it all up. Very sophisticated and I can't wait to see it. The adapted screenplay is from the woman who wrote the Bionic Woman pilot and Birds of Prey for CW.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Well he did in a way approach his Cape Fear remake as a slasher (an intellectual, adult slasher...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm still confused why this is being called slasher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 To create and accentuate the oh-so-visible contrast between what he usually does and what he did here. Even though slasher is in the realm of incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 You have such a way with words I actually would say his remake of Cape Fear (a movie I don't think is really a success on its own terms) is more of a slasher--although I admit I'm prety anal about the term cuz I wrote a paper about the two big "Slasher cycles" (post Halloween and post Scream) and comparing their audience demos for a film course ages back--where I meant slashers as specifically movies where there's a teeanged body count, a masked mysterious killer, POV killer shots, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I do? So you did a paper on slasher films... And a master's thesis on Agnes Nixon? Seriously, I am very excited about this film, cannot wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I've been excited to see this movie since I first heard about it early last year. Mainly due to the fact that it is Scorcese doing a different type of film compared to what he has done these last few years. I worry though because it was pushed back to 2010, and out of the 2009 Oscar race that it may fall a bit flat. I still plan to see it though! A possible soap connection, but in the trailer I am POSITIVE Jill Larson (Opal, AMC) has a small part, but can't find her listed anywhere in the credits on imdb.com. You be the judge.

Members Sylph Posted February 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Falling flat as in – how? Why would pushing it out of the race diminish its quality? Or you were talking about the box office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 In recent past when movies have been promoted as Oscar contenders only to have a relase date pushed back to Feb. or March, more often than not there was a reason. I am thinking a recent example of this is The Soloist from last year. It was pumped up as an oscar contender, the release was pushed back and I can honestly say it was probably one of the worst movies in 2009. Shutter Island does look amazing though, so I am HOPEFUL that isn't the case here. I was just saying history has proven in these situations there is sometimes a reason they are pushed back.
