Let me start this thread with 28 Weeks Later, a sequel to 28 Days Later. The original got critical acclaim, was directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. No director yet, but Garland and Boyle are to co-produce 28WL (whoop de fucking do) and it features American forces turning up in the UK in an attempt to restart the country.
Quite frankly, I think this is going to be shit. There's going to be a crap anti-war parallel-with-the-Iraq-situation or it's just going to be plain old shit. The compulsive Hollywood need for remakes and sequels has soured me, and though some may see this as unwarranted negativity, I see it as mere common sense.

To quote Jim from 28DL "This is a really shit idea. You know why? Cause it's really obviously a shit idea."
Anyone get the feeling they're all just going to get their brains munched on anyway in the way all zombie sequels do?
Aren't the Asgard supposedly technologically superior?
US military turns up and everything goes wrong...that's an original idea, alright.
Well at least it's true to life in that respect

Not unless innocent by-standers/allies were killed in large numbers.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
I imagine the end of the movie will involve carpet-bombing large and random areas and prove me right

Now I might not be all a knowin' about these things but to me fallin' carpets aint gonna do a lot of damage, what he needs is a two feet mortar. Ahh harr.
To Hang me, they's gotta find me, an' only this salty sea dog aknows who I is.
I recently brought the DVD of 28 Days Later, and I can't figure out why the film was so successful as it was just a rehash of Survivors with a few zombies and some REALLY bad science thrown in for good measure.
In 28 Days Later, one of the characters said that there had been outbreaks in New York and Paris, so how come the the Americans are able to sort out the situation in Britain if the disease has managed to establish itself in America?
Because they're THAT fucking good!
Aren't the Asgard supposedly technologically superior?
Well, the infection reaching Paris and NY was either propaganda by the media to convince people not to bother trying to flee the infection, or there were cases of infection abroad, but thanks to the geographic seclusion of the UK, the spread was minimal and easily contained.
If you think about the speed and communicability of Rage, it has a lot of potential to burn itself out. Only the hardiness of the infected ensures it spreads.
If it burns itself out, the Americans are going to be REALLY dissapointed when they can't lob missiles at anybody
I'm sure they'll find someone to shoot at.
Wait until Dubya finds out that the current president of France is Jacques chIRAC. That's close enough for him to get the stealth bombers out
An American remake of the great Korean film Oldboy.

Directed by the same bloke who's doing the third Fast & Furious film, with Mel Gibson rumoured to star. I am in Hell. Please feel free to gouge out my eyes with red-hot screwdrivers.
Please.
A WONDERFUL remake of The wicker Man. Great stuff, Hollywood!
