Looks kinda fun.

Hang on….a film where you are not to show emotion and must act like an alien automaton ……why is Val Kilmer not in this cast??

jizbrand01 Aug 2007 5:34 a.m. PST

Is this yet another remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

nazrat01 Aug 2007 6:05 a.m. PST

Yes, it is, and it sounds like a stinky one, Ms. Kidman's presence notwithstanding.

What figure exactly are you looking for? Civilians?

Do we really need another Body Snatchers remake?

'Invasion' was first hyped as a remake of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' It was supposed to have been released late last year, but advance screenings of the film were very negative (just like the highly anticipated 'Southland Tales') and they decided to reshoot certain scenes, including a chase scene where Nicole was injured (no stunt double?) resulting in further delay.

Now it's billed as a 're-imagining' (rather than a remake) of IOTBS to distance it from its predecessor. Daniel Craig (new Bond) also stars. I'm willing to give this a chance because I think this isn't the same movie it was last year.

Nicole Kidman is rarely in bad movies. It has happened but more often her movies are something that doesn't appeal to me, like Moulin Rouge, rather than bad. I never saw Days of Thunder but I suppose that wasn't great, but I'm sure she was young and needed the money.

Still she has been in some cracking movies, like Dogville, the Human Stain and the Others.

I'll wait and see if this one is more like one of those or more like BMX Bandits.

Tread head got bitten by the bug, but at least it's an interesting bite this time.

Do not fall asleep

Interesting slogan for a movie…

….."Nicole Kidman is rarely in bad movies"…..

You obviously don't have a daughter that made you watch "Bewitched" LOL She was awful. I mean awful. Kinda pale and sickly looking too, IMO. Needs to fatten up a bit. :)

I just saw a trailer, didn't impress me. Looked like, well, a cheap remake of IOTBS.

And Days of Thunder, Pictor, was bad. Don't see it, unless Tom Cruise mugging for the camera is your kinda thing, which I'm betting it is not :)

Pictors Studio, your clever tactic of baiting awalesII into showing emotion has worked. We can proceed to his location and begin the conversion…

Smokey Roan01 Aug 2007 3:05 p.m. PST

Really, I would rate as "bad" any movie she has ever been in (I think she's kinda homely and can't act).

mandt201 Aug 2007 3:28 p.m. PST

Isn't her X-husband one of those alien pod-people? What's his name?

doug redshirt01 Aug 2007 5:41 p.m. PST

Saw the previews and all I could think of was the original Body snatchers, but not in a good way. It was more along the lines of way do we need another remake of a truly great film. Thank god Westerns are out of favor, or we would end up with a remake of "High Noon", oh wait that happened didnt it. Nothing is sacred anymore in Hollywood. I imagine it is only a matter of time before some self important director thinks to redo "Citizen Kane". Is there an original idea left in Hollywood?

Hrothgar Returns01 Aug 2007 6:30 p.m. PST

Another very useless remake will be the new version of "Halloween"

Dang, I came here looking for the thread on half Orc Paladin figures…

Ashbless02 Aug 2007 1:55 a.m. PST

The movie looks rather tired, from the trailer… It didn't giove me any reason to think, 'oh, yeah, that looks good.'

Hombre02 Aug 2007 2:06 a.m. PST

@ Doug

No, no there isn't.

Smokey Roan02 Aug 2007 4:35 a.m. PST

No, a Halloween rremake? In PG-13 no doubt :(

15mm and 28mm Fanatik02 Aug 2007 10:59 a.m. PST

I think Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' remake should be good. It's getting the modern treatment a la 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.'
