Because an American producer will pay you to remake your own film with American actors speaking English for an American theatrical release. Very few foreign films get a theatrical release in the USA. Certainly not horror movies. Sometimes the original director is willing to do it- why not? It's income for them and they will give it more care than some other director would.

It used to be a common occurance in Hollywood to shoot versions of a movie in various languages at the same time as the original. This isn't all that different.

Also helps him push his "message" on people who may not have seen it.




Ghostbusters


One of my favorite movies of all time.

Yep, you need to see High Plains Drifter...it's pretty much Eastwood's homage to his work with Leone, and it's easily one of the coolest westerns that I've ever seen. His character is essentially just "the Man with No Name" again, only more badass than ever.

I'm getting more excited just thinking about it.It will blow me away from what you've said.I have something to look foward too "Hes essentially the Man With No Name just more bad ass than ever.:D


The Outlaw Josey Wales.IMO Coolest DVD cover EVER.Great movie.

you getting into western phase dante?
i had that a start a few years ago, never died down. you've seen the best so far, but catch Once Upon A Time In The West, The Magnificent Seven, Pale Rider and High Planes Drifter, and for something newer but equally awesome, Open Range. Check out the Sabata trilogy if you thought Lee Van Cleef (The Ugly) was as bad ass as I did.

Eli Wallach played Tuco (The Ugly).

Lee Van Cleef played Sentenza, the villain.

futurama: beast with a billion backs (2008)

thoroughly enjoyed this one. i still feel that bender's big score was slightly better. it could be that this one played out more like a long episode, whereas bender's big score played out like and was written like a movie.

at any rate, it was absolutely hilarious and a lot of fun.
can't wait for more of these. the next two are apparently called, respectively, bender's game and into the wild green yonder.
