what I said on the white board... [img]wink.gif[/img]
As per <u>Article on CNN.com</u>
Many of us have been chomping at the bit for "Exorcist: The Beginning" based off of the scariest fucking movie ever filmed (if you were raised in a catholic household it is) being filmed by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull)
No... even though the primary shooting was already finished, Holly-fucking-wood wants to START OVER and make a schlocky, fast-paced, flashy, seen too many times hollywood thriller by Renny Harlin of the smouldering turds "Cutthroat Island" and "Cliffhanger". [img]eek.gif[/img]
With Renny's penchant for titles with repeating sylables, maybe the new film should just be called "The Exxxorcist". [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

I like the last bit of the article:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">"...Instead, we'll see a weird amalgam of a movie, one whose behind the scenes turmoil will probably eclipse whatever terror appears on the screen.
Now, that is horror

Paul Schrader should've wrote the script himself, for one thing. But anyhow, this is lame...to boot Schrader, cast off the entire film that's already finished, AND bring in Renny Harlin?
Schrader's style would've far better fitted this film than an action director. Or even Harlin alone, since guys like Gore Verbinksi can do an action flick like Pirates of the Carribean, but also pull off some decent horror with the Ring. Bah! Hollywood...
There was all kinds of good buzz around Schrader's version, too. They'd better release it on DVD.
