Mick Garris' look behind-the-scenes of the cult horror film VIDEODROME (1983), including interviews with writer-director David Cronenberg, stars James Woods and Deborah Harry, and SFX artist Rick Baker.
@@GamesWithBrainz Every Single Actor was a Robot in that Movie. No wonder he went for Mr. Twilight. It felt like everyone was just reciting the memorized script.
Wow I didn’t get the full awesomeness of the movie until just now. Are we not in the early stages of interfacing with the ‘cathode ray’ or it’s modern equivalent? What’s your ‘special name?’
+Brett Wyatt Most people, especially nowadays, majorly fuck up when they do remakes of classic films. Although dated, Videodrome is still a great film. It doesn't need to be modernized.
Idk if you need to do a remake, this really should have been a series of films showing the birth of the nu flesh and the intertwining of the human cortex with the ‘videodrome’ stimulus, through near 24/7 saturation in VR from smart devices etc. I guess the Interface novels went deeper than Videodrome ever did anyway so we did see a continuation of sorts.
I don't feel remakes are bad as a whole. There it is John Carpenter's The Thing and Scarface by Brian De Palma. Something good can happen in a Videodrome remake. But at least by now is not necessary. I was born in 2000. And I watched this film when I was 17 and it affects me a lot. Younger audiences will watch this film through time. Even when I will not be young anymore. I think that remakes are justified when you watch an old film and said: it's a good idea but it didn't aged well. Or: it's a good idea but it could be better. That's the reason behind a remake or a good remake. When you add something new that can make it even more powerful than before. Also I don't think there is a director capable of doing a Videodrome remake. Lynne Ramsay, Guillermo del Toro and Yorgos Lanthimos are the only ones that came to my mind whom can make something really good... But, we don't need it really.
