Why do I expect this to be a hot topic with the DVX crowd....???

Because it sounds hilarious.

:grin:

Will it ever get made? Sounds too good.

What happened to that movie about those kids who did a shot for shot remake of indiana jones. That sounded great too.

Michael that sounds sooooo good. God, Jack would be so good in that. I can just see his Orange County character coming out, "I told her not to do it man, but she said I'm gonna burn this motha down!" :grin:

 

[Kirk Gillock]

The trailer just came out and it looks good. Like School of Rock meets Blockbuster. But in a good way.

damn i wish i came up with that concept.

 

[Tom Marshall]

That looks AWESOME! I like the Driving Miss Daisy bit... :grin:

 

[Matty_g]

That looks AWESOME! :grin:

Agreed!

 

[David Jimerson]

Wow, first heard about this at least two years ago. After all this time, I figured it was abandoned.

 

[Capt Quirk]

For some reason, I'm not impressed. Maybe I need more coffee...

 

[tmnt]

Robocop bit kicks ass!

 

[Kholi]

Wow. This is amazing. LOL.

I love it.

 

[DeSica]

Yay....90 minutes of video karaoke.

Will he do a version of The Pick of Destiny, or just films people have actually seen?

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

I saw the trailer at comic-con. I've been wanting to see this since it was announced. Gotta love Gondry.

 

[Drew Ott]

I'll probably see it in theaters. Looks rather entertaining.

 

[PippinTheJedi]

Can't wait for this! I wonder if they'll do some jabs at the rental/online rental wars or anything to that effect.

 

[Noel Evans]

Looks well worth a watch. Interesting casting.

 

[BryantStanton]

Hm. I'll have to wait and see. I was really interested in this when I first heard about it, but the trailer actually made me want to see it less. I'm sure I'll end up going to check it out though.

And maybe I'm being nitpicky but if Jack Black gets 'magnetized', wouldn't he be destroying all the new remakes they create along with all the original tapes he ruined?

I thought the same thing. Hopefully they'll explain that because it does seem like a big plot hole.

At the beginning, Jack Black is wearing an aluminum foil jacket, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Easy. He's shooting in P2. And he'll start the new tapeless revolution on Video Rentals.
