There is also a new game in development too!" The rumors have been circulating for years. Maybe they'll get Lucy Lawless to demonstrate the proper application of a spinning disk.

  1. A big budget might ruin it by Waffle+Iron · · Score: 5
    One thing that made movies like the original Star Wars, Mad Max and Tron stand out was the spartan ambiance that came with a (relatively) low budget. As it happened, that ambiance worked well with the screenplay and acting for these movies; that's why these movies are still talked about while dozens of others from that time are forgotten.

    Twenty or so years later, they redo Star Wars (largely on the same planet) with a big budget and too many visual distractions and not enough focus on the story... and it doesn't work. There was nothing special about it compared to all of the other computer-effects scifi movies out there today. I fear the same thing will happen to this sequel.
