Re: Pete's Dragon Remake
The remake's called "Pete"s Dragon"?

Re: Pete's Dragon Remake
The teaser Disney showed at D23 barely gave us any Elliot, which of course isn't seen until the end. Pete brushes his hand over Elliot's fur on his paw just as he's about to go chameleon (or invisible, whichever they decide to do for this version).
And I'm getting a Last Guardian vibe from Elliot's silhouette.

Y'know, comic-book heroes and steampunk seem kinda 'hot' with the kidz, these days.

Re: Pete's Dragon Remake
I see all these happening, somewhat sadly...but who wouldn't be up for a really cool Condorman redo!?
Especially with that poster!

Re: Pete's Dragon Remake
I've literally never heard of "Condorman" before now. But from the posters it seems James Bond "inspired"?

Yes, while it's okay to pile on the 10's Hollywood CGI onto Walt movies like Cinderella,101D and Jungle Book, I suspect they're taking the Ron Miller era a BIT more seriously than it needs to be, for iconic value.droosan wrote:Such atmosphere!

I share the same reaction of "So....I'm guessing this isn't a musical, then? "
I'd post a gritty Unforgiven-esque poster for the Apple Dumpling Gang, but I haven't got the Photoshops for that.
We've already had the NASCAR Herbie and the X-Files Witch Mountain.
Dragons.....do not....have........FUR. Even 70's Elliott didn't.Dan wrote:The teaser Disney showed at D23 barely gave us any Elliot, which of course isn't seen until the end.

Michael Crawford (back when he still had a sense of humor) as a comic-book artist who insists on "researching" all his adventures personally, vs. more reasons to be seriously creeped out by Oliver Reed:
As my theater childhood recalls, I thought the original Pete's Dragon was a mess, too, but Island/Top seemed a lot cooler than it looks today.)

I think Ben may now be officially offended.Dacey wrote:I've literally never heard of "Condorman" before now. But from the posters it seems James Bond "inspired"?
As Eric has shown, it's a cheesy 70s Disney flick (though beloved by some, like Ben and myself), available as a Disney Movie Club exclusive, or from eBay/Amazon Marketplace, etc.

And for rental on Vudu VOD, which, of course, has every single obscure Disney movie ever made.

Re: Pete's Dragon Remake
Condorman has a killer idea and Disney has a comics division to help pull it off.

(though, technically .. I guess this is more of a 'remix' poster, than a 'remake' poster).
Not to mention remakes of The Parent Trap, Flubber, The Shaggy Dog and Freaky Friday.EricJ wrote:We've already had the NASCAR Herbie and the X-Files Witch Mountain.
Hence, stuff like Pete's Dragon coming up in rotation.
I'd actually really love to see (or even work on!) a new Condorman -- in movie or comic-book form.Ben wrote:Condorman has a killer idea and Disney has a comics division to help pull it off.

Hey, the Freaky Friday remake was great!
