Schrader is a good director. forget to mention he directed “taxi driver”, starting Robert Deniro, which includes a memorable seen with him in front of the mirror mocking himself. For those who oppose this movie and say it will be cheesy and lame, that’s just ur ignorant mind set. I’m not saying it’s going to be a great movie but i think we’ll get more out of it from the original Renny Harlin version.

P.s the trailer looks more interesting than the Renny harlin version of the film.

made “a good film”? Schrader wrote some of the finest films of the 70’s & 80’s and if you like to use your noggin’ his films are always interesting and usually very good, i.e.; Mishima, Light Sleeper, Affliction, Autofocus,etc. I’m looking forward to this film. I suspect it’s not for everyone but then again neither is Bergman or Dryer.

The difference between Paul Schrader and Renny Harlin, is that Schrader has actually made a good film during his career.

Well, to me, it looks lame and cheesy. People out there won’t give Harlin a chance to fix it right. Maybe if they see it on dvd, it’d probably be a little better. And we’re not really sure if the first one is gonna be on cinema or not, or it maybe a dvd release, don’t know yet. We’ll just have to find out later. If they do release on cinema, it’ll be a limited release only. Schrader is probably doing this for money.

Mary: You’ve got to be kidding…

next thing you’re going to tell me is that “Deep Blue Sea” is better than “Jaws”

I saw the photos, but not the trailer. Looks cheesy. I think it’s gonna suck. It’s probably gonna be more of dvd release rather than hitting cinema. So I’d stick to Renny’s version, no matter what people say out there. Schrader’s is just awful.

Yes, the trailer left me a bit disappointed as well…I’ve been building it up too much in my mind’ eye, and that didn’t look much better than the Harlin version’s Trailer. I did not, and will not be seeing Renny Harlin’s film…my time isn’t even that valuable, but it’s worth more than that film.

Still, i approach the possible release of Mr. Schrader’s version with a bit more apprehension than anticipation than I had before seeing the trailer.

Wow… that was completely mysterious and not in a good way. Vague would be the better word. I’m hoping it’s just a badly done trailer though. From what I’ve heard of this version, it has more potential than the crap dished out this past summer.
