i hate when studios interfere with films like this.

film school 101 tells us that the best way to cut time out of your film is to cut out a complete subplot. like cameron did in the abyss or what ridley scott did for kingdom of heaven with the whole subplot involving eva green's on screen son.

i do remember that the weinsteins wanted him to cut stuff out of the Kill Bill when it was meant to be one film, but then they allowed him to cut it into 2 separate films, one in tribute to eastern films and the other in tribute to spaghetti westerns.

at the same time as tarantino was making kill bill, martin scorsese was makinh gangs of new york and he wanted and asked the weinsteins to release the films as two parts, but he was denied this. in the end he had to cut gangs down to a watchable time limit, but the story totally suffered in the end and the film did terrible at the box office.

i hope they do what they did with the dark knight blu ray and have the IMAX scenes on the disc as part of the film

sounds interesting, but i'm honestly not expecting much from this series

i think that maybe if they took the subject matter and grounded it completely in reality instead of trying to make a live action cartoon people would have more respect for this project.

Plus after Van Helsing, why was Sommers picked to direct??????

so sad to hear this

thanks bea

agreed

ok i do get that, but i think that the list starts great and trails off towards the end and is missing some key films.

plus star wars was influenced by the Flash Gordon serials.

here's a question: Where's 2001?????

can't really argue with that list, I could argue about the order but that's down to personal preference

my question is why no films from the 80's or 90's????
