and heres some info

Artisan Entertainment will bring Man-Thing, a collaboration between Marvel Studios and Fierce Entertainment, based on the popular Marvel Comics' character, to theatres nationwide on August 27, 2004. The announcement made by Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad, Artisan Pictures' President of Production Richard Saperstein, Artisan Entertainment Executive Vice President Patrick Gunn and Fierce Entertainment's CEO Christopher Petzel comes as the project wraps production ahead of schedule following an incredibly successful eight-week shoot.

Adapted to the screen by Hans Rodionoff from the original 1970's Marvel comic book character and directed by Brett Leonard, Man-Thing was produced by Marvel Studios and Fierce Entertainment in association with German equity fund Screenland Movieworld.

Marvel's terrifying creature of the swamp, Man-Thing screams onto our screens in the new horror motion picture that presents a very different kind of character to the usual Marvel superhero. Based on the cult comic book series that was first published in 1971, the Man-Thing is a vengeful creature born from the evil and injustices perpetrated against both man and nature.

"'Man-Thing' has been an unbelievably exciting project for us. We have always felt that this character's story would translate incredibly well to the big screen as it mixes horrifying action with a truly mesmerizing and frightful anti-hero," said Mr. Arad. "Brett is seen as one of the true pioneers in the creation of revolutionary computer-generated and mechanical effects and we now seen first-hand why. His powerful creative vision has helped bring this character to life in a thoroughly compelling manner - so much that we have decided to fast track it for release next summer, fully confident in its worldwide appeal."

Commented Mr. Gunn, ""Uncharacteristic of the typical Marvel characters brought to life on the big screen, 'Man-Thing' brings a chilling component not previously showcased in Marvel comic based films. We feel this film impressively introduces 'Man-Thing' in a manner that will really thrill the viewing public ."

Man-Thing is directed by effects pioneer Brett Leonard, whose talents in the horror Sci-Fi genre have been proven by motion pictures such as groundbreaking visual effects thriller The Lawnmower Man and Virtuosity, starring Academy-Award winners Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. He also directed one of the most successful Imax projects ever, the 3-D T-Rex Back to the Cretaceous, which grossed over $100 million worldwide.

The ensemble cast include Australian icon Jack Thompson, whose breakout role in the feature film Breaker Morant directed by Bruce Beresford earned him numerous accolades including Best Supporting Actor at the Cannes Film Festival and an AFI Award for Best Actor, and acclaimed New Zealand actor Rawiri Paratene who excited critics around the world with his performance in the recent independent hit Whale Rider.

The cast also features newcomers Matt Le Nevez, Rachel Taylor, and Steve Bastoni.

Man-Thing was shot completely on location in Sydney, Australia. Specific locations included Wiseman's Ferry, Serenity Cove Studios at Kurnell for exterior swamp scenes and Homebush Bay where an elaborate supernatural swamp environment was created on a sound stage.

discuss your thoughts about this movie.

[Coming Soon!]

I think it will be VERY low-budget, but that's not always a bad thing (look at Texas Chainsaw Massacre, $9.5M budget, $28.1M opening weekend). Guess we'll see once we get some footage.

yeah i hope it isn't crap. hopefully they can make it look like they have a bigger budget

[sniktawt]

The original plans were for this to be a straight to video project guess they wised up.

The Poster sucks btw.
Not one Hint at Man-Thing's look.
But I guess that's the point.

The budget was 5 Million but that could have changed.

[Tony Montana]

This one will probably suck real hard....

Hope it would be better than the TV-serie...

[sniktawt]

There was no TV Series for this .
That was DC'S Swamp Thing.
This is a totally Different character.
Ted Sallis is Man-Thing.
Alec Holland Is Swamp Thing.

Swamp Thing was a 1982 Film Directed by Wes Craven.
It also had a horrible sequel in 1989 and a TV series on USA Network in the early '90's.
While being almost the same as Swamp Thing, Marvel's Man-Thing actually preceded DC's Swamp Thing by a month in the comics.
Not a copy just a coincedence.
One difference is when turned to a creature Man-Thing lost all his smarts , while Swamp Thing Kept his brains.
Man-Thing's touch can burn anything that fears him.
He was based , as was Swamp thing on the 1940's character, THE HEAP (Which Todd McFarlane has optioned as a film as well.)

[Tony Montana]

You are right, I mixed them up.

But it still will suck.

[cg124]

i'm gonna wait for the trailer

[sniktawt]

I'm a huge fan of Man-thing and I have hopes for this , as long as Man-Thing looks good.

The first Comic I ever had was a Man-Thing way back in 1974.
He holds special memories to me so I will give this a huge chance.
I still don't like the poster though.But that's just a Publicity teaser anyways.

yeah and i wouldn't be surprised if they gave them more money

[sniktawt]

I think they want to go the Blade route on this because Like Blade back in 1998, he wasn't well known so they have to lessen the budget because it is a risk when the character isn't presold.

But like coming soon stated, sometimes a low budget means a better movie.

Blade was certainly a sleeper hit and was the beginning of Marvel's movie onslaught.

yep it sad how people said x-men was the start of marvel films when it was actually blade who started it all

[Kris Hodgson]

If the budget is only 5 million, this movie will make lots of money. Just putting the Marvel name on it is going to get some people in the theatres. Even if they only have an opening weekend of 10 million, they doubled their costs (excluding marketing) This is a guarranteed money maker.

Very true MARVEL movies will sell easly now that there populer. plus if the movie dosn't look low buget people won't even relize it.

[sniktawt]

Just becuse the Marvel name is on it does not mean it will make money.
The Character and the film itself has to look good.
DC comics is going to have it's name on Catwoman (Why I don't know,it's not their character) and that is going to flop.

Plus it was originally a made for video project.The first I read it wasn't was when Cg posted this thread so They may have upped the budget.

[Tony Montana]

There are far too many comic book based movies around IMO... need some brake!

[Kris Hodgson]

Originally posted by sniktawt

The fact that it is a Marvel movie, combined with the low budget (even if they raise the budget from 5 million, it still won't be very high) should guarrantee it makes money. If it was a 70 million dollar movie, then no, I don't think it would break even.

[kryptonian_boy]

If they do this project the right way, it could be pretty good. I just wonder if any of the movie posters will have the line that was always used in the Man-Thing comic books:
"Whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch".
It's as associated with Man-Thing as "with great power comes great responsibility" is with Spiderman.

[sniktawt]

Yeah that line should be used.

Here's a pic for those unfamiliar with What or Who Man-Thing is.

http://e.domaindlx.com/wringlets/MAN-THING1.JPG

[Jonah Hex]

cool

[Colorado Cajun]

Man this could be one of those cult classic films like an Evil Dead. That is if they do it right and put effort into it. Man Thing is popular enough to get a decent gross

[Hitman]

Man Thing sounds pretty dark. What's his story and what's his purpose?

[sniktawt]

Here's his comic bio from the cool comics web ring.



For years, it stayed in the swamp outside the town of Citrusville, existing as little more than a local myth, but, after a vision of a black tomorrow, the creature emerges. Meanwhile, Ellen Brandt, a woman haunted by her past, wanders to Citrusville for reasons unknown to even her. But who is this woman, and who was Man-Thing before he was the Man-Thing?

Once, he was a chemist named Ted Sallis, working on the elusive super-soldier serum, the stuff that dreams are made of, the thing that turned Steve Rogers, a pathetic weakling, into the mighty Captain America. His wife was a young student named Ellen, put into neglect by Ted's constant experiments and research. Soon Ellen wandered astray, betraying her husband to Advanced Idea Mechanics, who sought the super-soldier serum for their own purposes. Knowing that he and the serum were in danger, Ted fled into the swamp taking the sole, untested vial of the serum with him. Fate had it's way, and Ted decided it would be better to destroy the serum than have it fall into the hands of A.I.M., so... he injested the serum. Instead of turning Ted Sallis into a super soldier, the serum mixed was affected by the ever-present primordial ooze of the swamp. As every cell in Ted Sallis' body changed, he became increasingly more plant-like. He turned into a swamp monster. He turned into the Man-Thing.

Soon, in the swamp, the Man-Thing and Ellen crossed paths. She was consunmed with fear, and it... well, the Man-Thing was simply reacting to it's environment. As the Man-Thing placed his hand on the left side of Ellen's face, her fear of what she had done to her husband reacted with the Man-Thing, and she ignited...

Now, the Man-Thing serves as the Guardian of the Nexus of All Realities, the gateway between all worlds and existances, and he is now beginning a journey, a journey he will partake in with his wife, with whom he has recently been reunited, a journey to save Earth from its own future.

[Hitman]

Cool. I hope this film works, even with a low budget.

[sniktawt]

I hope they don't screw up Man-Thing's look .

[Tenafly Viper]

The darker this film is the better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But I think this film might end up being a surprise hit like Blade.

[sniktawt]

From AIN'T IT COOL NEWS (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=16714)

By Chief Chirpa:

Chief Chirpa here,

Just saw a work print of MAN-THING. It was still rough around the edges and I heard that the Arad's, based on notes from writer Hans Rodionoff, were making a few editorial changes, and adding some scenes to help tie the film together a little bit more, but on the whole, it was really, really good. I was impressed.

Director Brett Leonard has really suprised me here, the film is incredibly well shot and looks phenomenal for the money. He's got a touch of M. Knight-itus with a very small part played by himself, which was weak, but I think on the whole, it's a winner. Considering the money they spent on it, and that it has now been slated for a theatrical release rather than straight to video, the Marvel boys have high hopes for this one.

The creature looked quite a bit like it did in the comics, which I was never a fan of, in this fuzzy little guys opinion, some of the pre production artwork I saw earlier in the year from an FX company that was vying for the job and didn't get it, was a lot better, but the films titular character was well done and din't bother me.

However, the best part of the whole movie by far, is the script. (which I read months ago) This film was so incredibly well written, with no offense to Leonard, (who I think shot a great movie), a monkey could have directed this film. The dialogue, pacing, character development, and especially the ending (which I won't spoil) were very well written. The way Rodionoff handled the swamp, how he made it a charcter, and conveyed that this creature was of the swamp, therefore, WAS the swamp, was really eerie, and made for a chilling, creepy movie. Just a really solid piece of genre writing.

Rodionoff also wrote WEREWOLF BY NIGHT for Marvel (which I hope gets made) and most recently, Clive Barker's TORTURED SOULS for Universal. This guy definitely gets genre, and is a big comic book fan. I was told he's currently working on a huge, sci-fi gladiator epic called THE CIRCLE, which from some of the development art I've seen, looks amazing.

Check out MAN-THING when it comes out, it's a good movie.

That's it.

Chief Chirpa


I knew this was going to be done right...I have a feeling this may be my favorite comic film of 2004.

Can't wait!!!

[cg124]

my thoughts of this movie are now rising

[sniktawt]

Agreed...This will probably surprise everyone.

[captain cocanut]

seems like it'll be good

[cg124]

Originally posted by sniktawt

i like the idea that it look professionally done. so maybe it won't look low budget, which is good

[Rogue]

So, the guy ingested a bottle of serum and he turned into Man-Thing? Hmm..primordial ooze, must have been salty.

One question, from the bio on the first page. "And she ignited.." She..spontaneously combusted? She took out a lighter and torched herself? Was his wife/girlfriend some sort of mutant or can he manipulate fire?

May be a stupid question but I haven't been exposed to this one before and I'm curious.

[Quint]

No, Rogue, Man-thing has the ability to burn you with his touch if you fear him in any way.

Like The Quote goes...

"He who fears, burns at the Man-Thing's touch."

[sniktawt]

Quint beat me to it but he's right...

I think the saying was ...
"Whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch".

Read it again Rogue closely...
"Soon, in the swamp, the Man-Thing and Ellen crossed paths. She was consunmed with fear, and the Man-Thing placed his hand on the left side of Ellen's face, her fear of what she had done to her husband reacted with the Man-Thing, and she ignited..."

I took out a few words so it's more understandable.


If you wronged him and show any fear whatesoever and he gets a hold of you , you're pretty much a BBQ coal.

I'm sure some of his origin will be left intact but they will definatly change most of it.

He will still burn though.That was his M.O.

[Rogue]

Oh, okay. Thanks guys, I think I get it now.

[Blackbolt]

Joe Quesada Editor in Cheif at Marvel said this was the movie he was most excited about. He also said the script is really good.

He doesn't BS too much either.

[Baadshah]

is this the same as swamp thing?

[Rogue]

Anything new on this? I've been reading up on it and it sounds interesting, if it's done right.

[Colorado Cajun]

All I can say is people should read the comics to get ready for the film. It deserves to be read by more people

[cg124]

Originally posted by Baadshah

NO, i don't think

[Blackbolt]

Well there's many similarities... Both look like chewed up wheat grass, and both live in the swamp. There's more similarities too..... Personally...I think Solomon Grundy is the cooler Swamp monster.

Man-Thing Might be Headed Straight to Video
Source: HSX
Thursday, March 4, 2004

Don't get your hopes up too high for a fall theatrical release for Lions Gate Films' Man-Thing. HSX just listed the latest release date changes and it shows that the studio has removed Man-Thing from their schedule. Usually what this means (at least in numerous past cases) that the film is headed straight for video and DVD. We'll keep an eye on any other developments.

[Colorado Cajun]

gah they should release it but ah well hopefully it'll pull an Equilibrium and become a cult hit

[cg124]

I think this movie will surprise a lot of people

[sniktawt]

Not if it goes straight to video.
It will passed off as just another cheap direct to video Horror film and I think it deserves a lot more.

[cg124]

I have a feeling you'll like it snik

[sniktawt]

Not saying I won't,What I'm saying is that if it goes to Video not many people will give it the time of day because it will just be another Direct to video monster movie to some.

[cg124]

oh well i'll proablly buy it if you like it, plus I'm trying to collecy more comic book movies on DVD

[sniktawt]

I'm sure we'lll love this film CG, I just want them to give it a chance and not throw it out with no care put into it.
It looks to deserve better.
They'll get their money back, Jeesh it only has a 5 million plus budget.

[cg124]

if from what I here is true this could be a very good film, I just want to see what he looks like first

[Madness]

I dunno guys, this is still listed as wide release in Sept at "Upcoming", unless you people know something I don't....

[sniktawt]

That site (upcoming) hasn't updated yet.

HSX is current and has pulled it from the listings for that weekend.

[cg124]

heres a first look at man thing

http://www.comixfan.com/xfan/images/movies/Man_Thing.JPG

so far he looks pretty good. I'm surpise since the budget is low

[sniktawt]

can't really get much from that but the slime seems interesting.

and sometimes cg, lower budget films look better because there's more imagination put into the film than if they had a big budget.

I made it smaller so it's easier to see.

http://img36.photobucket.com/albums/v109/sniks/COMIC_MOVIE_MANTHING.jpg

[cg124]

i like the way he looks, it looks faithful to the way he looked inthe comic, but will have to see more pics then

[sniktawt]

He looks fine, I never said he didn't .

[cg124]

Originally posted by sniktawt

i wasn't saying that you didn't like it, i was just sayoing what i thought about it

[sniktawt]

o;)

[cg124]

anyways this movies looks good so far. I got a question do you guys think this will be Rated R?

[sniktawt]

If it's straight to video it won't matter.
But it should be R rated for sure.

[Movie mogul]

The pic looks interesting, but for some weird reason i have a bad feeling about this movie.

[sniktawt]

It will get the short end of the stick that's for sure but true comic fans will see it and may very well like it.
From the fanboy buzz on this it is sure to not dissappoint.

[Movie mogul]

I must admit, the fact that it's budget is not very large and it is going straight to video (is it going straight to video??) may have had an influence on my opinion. But i am still looking forward to this movie.

[sniktawt]

Some sites are saying it is going back to video and others are saying the studio is undecided.
So Until it comes out we'll never know.
I would rather straight to video then I could have it in my collection quicker.lol.
Plus then they can give us more onscreen burnings and gore.

[Movie mogul]

Originally posted by sniktawt

And repetitive viewing!

:applaud:

[Madness]

And crappier production values :rolleyes:....

[Hypestyle]

say is this rated R or PG-13?

they should stick with PG 13...

[cg124]

i'd rather have R, but like snik said, it won't matter if it's going straight to video

[Movie mogul]

I'd go for an R rating too.

[sniktawt]

Originally posted by Madness

No the Budget is the same , regardless if it will be theatrical or Video.

[sniktawt]

Originally posted by Hypestyle

Why would you want it PG ? this is a Horror Film about a monster who burns people at his touch, get with it, This has to be an R-Rating.

[sniktawt]

EDIT

Damn, I triple posted.lol.oops;)

[SnoBorderZero]

Snik, whered you get the script?

[SnoBorderZero]

Oh and Man Thing looks cool, I like the fact that his eyes are also a bit drippy, like the rest of him. I think that Marvel should make it PG-13 for money reasons. It's just like most of these things, for instance Freddy vs. Jason, do you know how many kids wanted to see that movie?? I'm only 13, and seeing R-rated movies isnt a problem, but a lot of kid's parents are very strict and wont let them see it. Even if some kids do see R-rated movies, it's usually by sneaking in, which goes to the movie they bought the ticket for, NOT Freddy vs. Jason. Kids will wanna see Man Thing, he's a hideous monster from the people who brought us kick ass movies like Spiderman, Blade, and X-Men. If it's R, not as many kids can see it, maybe it wont be as cool (though I hope that you guys dont think that gore makes a good movie) but they'll make a helluva lot more money, especially since Man-Thing isn't very well known.

[cg124]

again if it's going straight to video it won't matter what it's rated. I really want an R rating so it will be dark and violent

[SnoBorderZero]

Yeah but an R rating generally means less money, not because it makes the movie bad, but because less people can see it.

[cg124]

but if it goes straight to video it won't matter



also it should be R it's a pretty violent character. Do you know what he does?

[SnoBorderZero]

Yeah but I doubt it will or else they wouldn't have taken the people wh gave us Spiderman, X-Men, and Blade.

[cg124]

heres something from SHH on the story opf man thing


http://www.superherohype.com/index.php?id=1150

[Switzer]

I doubt I'll watch it,I've seen the poster of it and looks pretty boring

[cg124]

how can you judge a movie by it's poster?

[spiderman_2k]

I think the "And looks pretty boring" is just stupid...

[Switzer]

I doubt it will be low budget...

it is low budget though i think it's 2-5 million




also heres some news on man thing

http://www.superherohype.com/index.php?id=1164

[SnoBorderZero]

NO way this'll be a straight to video release.

[cg124]

what makes you think that?

i think it will because there have been numerouse reports. And i don't mind if it goes straight to video

[SnoBorderZero]

The producers of Spiderman, Daredevil, X-Men, and Blade wuldnt join together for a straight to video movie.

[cg124]

yes but that dosn't mean it's not going straight to video

[sniktawt]

Hey Snoborder, The original Punisher and Captain America also From Marvel comics went straight to video.

The original plan from Day one when they got the greenlight was to go straight to video because they wanted to test the market on Second and third string characters but then they realized they may have someting great so then they changed it to theatrical but then things fell through and now they are up in the air on the type of release this flick will recieve.

I want the movie anyway I can get it I could care less if it went straight to video.

[sniktawt]

[sniktawt]

I'm assuming that is just a prop cast of his head and he will have a body.

Otherwise , it's pretty good and close to the comics.

[cg124]

yeah theres not a real good shot of manthing from the actual movie yet

[sniktawt]

Cg , Are we the only two hyped for this flick or what ?lol.;)

[cg124]

yes becuase then when everone sees it and they like it we can say that we were true fans and we were hyped for it from the begining to the end;)

[sniktawt]

True dat.

[cg124]

you know i'm actually kind of hoping it goes straight to video because then i'll be able to watch it over and over again

[sniktawt]

Yeah I hope too , cause then we'll own it quicker.

Oh , I know you are , it just seems we are the only ones talking about it tho.

The buzz on this is low but what has leaked is quite positive.

They are saying this will be a decent film and will not disappoint old or new fans.
Let's hope that's true.

Like Cajun , this is a character I have grown up with and am quite fond of.

[cg124]

i don't know too much about the character but i think he looks cool and sounds cool and I want to be hyped for a movie not a lot of people know about

[sniktawt]

If you ever get a chance to pick up a few of his comics cg at a flea markt or something get them.
He's an interesting character with a lot of depth.

[cg124]

i'll be sure to check, i wish i would have got some at the other flea market i went to.

DOes anyone else also want this to got straight to video?

[cg124]

well the movie gets an R rated

http://superherohype.com/index.php?id=1387


i think it's a good idea

[sniktawt]

Which means we now know for sure it's theatrical.

[cg124]

wow thats pretty cool, the only bad thing is that i probally won't be able to see it in theaters

[sniktawt]

If you can get your parents to take you you should be able to get in.
I seen 5 year olds with their parents at FVJ and Kill Bill Vol. 2 so I'm sure a 15 year old could get in with his parents.

[Tony Montana]

Ive read couple of pages, interviews and comments and it maybe be really good... although Im trying to keep cool, especially after seing Punisher and DD...

[Colorado Cajun]

Man I hope it's theatrical and shows anywhere near me. I'll so be there many times I bet lol

[sniktawt]

It's theatrical and will be released October 29 .

i know but my parents might not be interested, oh well

[Movie mogul]

Get another relative that might be interested to take you.

[sniktawt]

Well If I lived near ya cg , I'd go with you , I'm old enough to be your dad anyways.lol.;)

[cg124]

[sniktawt]

If it is released Halloween time we'll have some kick ass movies to look forward too with Seed Of Chucky the same time.

[cg124]

[sniktawt]

[Movie mogul]

Still no teaser for this movie?

[cg124]

I'd figuired it's time for another bump for this thread. I'm still excited for this movie and I can't wait for it to come out

[sniktawt]

It's been quiet for info tho.

[cg124]

I hope they come out with more Info soon

[sniktawt]

Yeah it's like they forgot all about it or something.
Reminds of The Luke Cage movie.

[cg124]

yeah i remeber a couple months ago that they were gonna ast someone this week.
Well guess what? this week passed a longtime ago and we still ain't got a cast

[sniktawt]

I think Tyrese got the role but no one cared.

[cg124]

I don't even remeber LOL

[Mr. Blonde1]

You guys got your wish. it's news but, bad news :(

From superherohype:

We thought this would be happening, considering Lions Gate Films had not listed Man-Thing on their schedule for the Fall. Now FilmJerk confirms that Lions Gate and Marvel Studios have taken the low-budget comic book adaptation of off their 2004 schedule and given it the dreaded "to be announced".

Will it ever make it to theaters, or perhaps direct-to-DVD? Stay tuned.

[cg124]

damn that sucks, I though they already started filming it? I hope it dosn't get canned

[sniktawt]

cg it's completed.They filmed the whole movie.

TBA means it's release date is up in limbo not the production of the film.

IMDB has had it's release year changed to 2005 for a few weeks now so there is hope.
It says October 2005 now.

The same thing happened to Jason X and it showed up online almost a year before it hit theatres , maybe this will too.

[cg124]

Okay I was worried at first, their will never be a movie that bad that they would cann it. i can't believe we have to wait another year I guess i better stop hyping myself now.

[sniktawt]

Not sure how right IMDB is but a few weeks ago they did have it at TBA but now upgraded it's status so it may be true.

[cg124]

cool, so now next year I got things to look forward to

Batman begins
elektra
Fantastic four
manthing
oh and getting my driving license

[cg124]

[cg124]

[Colorado Cajun]

Well not that I give a **** anymore , It's taking too damn long , but It's cool that there is some news on this long delayed film but I'm not holding my breath.

Tyrese baby nuff said lol

[Andrey83]

TBA means it's release date is up in limbo not the production of the film.



hehe,

TBA=To be announced (nothing to do with limbo or production or anything)

;)

[sniktawt]

Wow thanks for clearing that up.
Your such a genius.
;)

To Be Announced = No release date yet , In other words up in limbo.

I love how people on here think they know stuff but turn out to know ****.;)

[hei1spawn1]

WE GOT A RELEASE DATE!!!

It will air sometime in April on the Sci-Fi Channel ad then go straight to DVD on June 14

http://www.superherohype.com/news.php?id=2502

[sniktawt]

Oh gee , the home of "Puppet Master VS. Demonic Toys" , All my hopes for this film are now down the drain.

[cg124]

Damn, now I'm worried and I'm starting to doubt this project. I can only just pray

[sniktawt]

Well at least we'll get to see it.

Hopefully the DVD will have Some good Extras but somehow I doubt it.

[cg124]

well this could be better than Man thing,because they actually tryed to put this movie in theaters. Who knows maybe it will be a surprise hit just like dog soilders

[hei1spawn1]

Well that looks...promising???

[cg124]

I saw a TV spot on sci fi channel. It dosn't look too bad

[drzarius]

I saw the spot for that on Sci-Fi channel as well and wondered if it was the same as the movie that was supposed to be released last summer.

I think it's gonna be less than entertaining. Almost all original Sci-Fi content sucks which is why they have to advertise the hell out of it all.

The only original stuff they've done that I enjoyed were the two Dune mini-series. And that's saying alot from someone who pretty much dislikes the Dune characters as portrayed in Herbert's books.

Didyou watch Dark City? It was ausome
