Just got this from private source...

Wow, EPIC is taking over all the big shows :) Congrats RED!

"Total Recall" a 160 million $ show shooting in Toronto - has tested 35mm
film for 6 weeks and this week changed their minds and have chosen EPIC!!!
 
Haha, I jumped a little in my seat when I saw the thread title. I thought maybe Red was issuing a recall! haha. This is really cool though, hopefully the movie doesn't suck...
 
whoa thats cool, the movie stars colin farrel as the lead with kate beckinsale supporting and bryan cranston as the villain........
 
Great news!! I'm looking forward to this, although I do love the Paul Verhoeven version Arnie was the worst casting conceivable for the role. Colin Farrell is good casting because he can play the role that Dick wrote, which was an average guy in an average job is haunted by dreams of another world and another life and...you know the rest. They have said they are planning to pay closer attention to the source material this time, and of course I do love Kate Beckinsale (after the Maxim covershoot, the Underworld and now this she'll be a RED veteran).

Its also being shot in 2D apparently, which is cool.
 
yes of course almost forgot to write that,its also the first red epic movie not being shot on 3d....

If that's true that's pretty big news. There's of course been a lot of speculation that Epic has been popular because it's so much more compact than 35mm for shooting 3D. If it was chosen over 35mm on a film which can afford the film stock and is being shot 2D then they could have used any camera just as easily.
 
I didn't know they were resurrecting the movie! Who's directing?!

I hate to repeat the tired old line again, but let's see who still thinks red is a scam after these high profile projects... :)

Len Wiseman is the one directing this movie.

Yeah lets see who thinks red is a scam now...
 
FYI Mitch Amundsen is already shooting a feature on EPIC 2D with anamorphic lenses from Panavision. Paul Cameron is following the same path, shooting EPics with Panavision anamorphic lenses. He starts next wednesday... And I am sure I have missed another 2D Epic feature already underway. Len Wiseman used Epics on the 3D Underworld and loves the camera
 
I heard that Elysium, directed by Neil Blomkamp and DP'ed by Trent Opaloch from District 9 are shooting EPIC as well shooting soon. Pretty amazing that's Trent's 2nd feature!

Awesome! Bryan Cranston is my favorite actor right now. His acting in Breaking Bad is spot on. And he is also great at comedy too.
 
I heard rumores Colin Ferral is doing the part in this remake. It's great it's gonna shoot Epic and all but am I the only one that thinks some classics should be left alone? The original was perfection... It's like trying to remake Citizen Kane.
