""Which of the infamous announced projects which never got past the poster stage would you have most liked to see? I have to say that the most interesting looked like "Zeppelin vs Pteradactyl"!! Quite how they would have drummed up a budget big enough NOT to make this look awful is beyond me! But i sure would have loved to see the results!"" |

Indeed, "Zeppelin vs Pteradactyl" would have been the most eleborate of the planned productions, if only to envision how Hammer would have gone about the SFX. Probably a Harryhausen-esque stop action, move model sort of sequence. A shame. Would have been pretty cool. I, personally, would have scripted it with Nazis. Nazis and dinosaurs. Now there's a combination.

I think hammer should just be left alone, no remakes, no nothing, just let it be preserved in time, making a modern day remake or sequel would take the magic away from these films.

Its like taking the Mona Lisa, printing it in a computer, adding some new toches to it, and then selling it for 1,000,000 dollars.
Back then movies were about the craftsmanship, and effort put into them, the Hammer films are a landmark in horror films that stand for that. They stand for something that films today don't, they stand for something that isn't made on a computer, they stand for our beloved genre. Don't let remakes touch this, don't let remakes put scratch marks into this.....

Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls was mentioned, as was (by me) I am Legend (aka Night Creatrues, as it might have been called, according to Hunter). Speaking of Matheson, who wrote the script for Hammer's adaption of the Dennis Wheatley's Devil Rides Out, I recently came across a late 1990s script to a proposed sequel to a ner-made remake of Devil called Gateway to Hell. Robin Price who used to work for Hammer apparently made the script available to Wheatley fans through a tribute site. Read all about it at http://www.denniswheatley.info/films02.htm I was never much a fan of Wheatley's stuff, but it's interesting to see that so many years after Devil Rides Out, there are scripts being floated about.

I also think the unfinished projects should be left alone, because they're like museum pieces..ehh but still I'd rather see an unfinished project then a remake.
