GI Joe STOP-MOTION remake of THE THING
August 5th 2008 09:43
The brilliance of it is that it uses stop-motion animation and GI Joe action figures! The music is courtesy of a French outfit who go by the name of Zombie Zombie (touché!) and the track is called Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free. A very prog-rock-fusion title if ever I heard one!
John Carpenter’s sf-horror masterpiece The Thing is currently in re-imagining pre-production remake limbo - supposedly designed to be more of a “companion piece” than an actual remake - with Battlestar Galactica re-imaginer Ronald D. Moore at the screenwriting helm. Yeah, right, whatever. They should leave the bloody thing alone!
I don’t mind fan-creations such as this little experimental film-cum-promo-clip, but touching a bonafide classic is tantamount to modern horror treason!
Enough griping. Here’s Zombie Zombie …

pooter toooo slow to play this, and still no sound, got to get that fixed somehow...
However, the biggest disappointment was not my computer, but, finding out it was only an online short, not a near full length remake!
Now that I would love to see, and yes, I agree, I do not like people mucking about with the classics, and The Blob was certainly that, but with an approach like this, who could resist!
I loved Team America, how about you Bryn?
cheers

They did a terrific job with that video... lots of work went into it... the sets are beautiful.
I love fan tributes as opposed to Hollywood remakes... the re-imagining is almost guaranteed to be lacklustre...
