WarGames Sequel Now Filming

Posted by kdawson on from the lights-camera-domain-grab dept.

iluvcapra writes "This news is a little late, but on November 20th WarGames 2: The Dead Code began filming in Montreal. (I only became aware of the new production when I read that MGM is suing the rightful owner of WarGames.com for his domain name.) The film will be produced and distributed by MGM — distributor of the original WarGames — and directed by Stewart Gillard, director of such gems as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes, the team behind the original film, are not involved. The plot revolves around a hacker breaking into a terrorism-simulation computer."

    The posts in this thread are pathetic. Comments about how good the original story line was and how this movie is just a money making ploy... you silly fools... you've just romanticized your childhoods. WarGames, although amusing and a first of its kind, is lame... it's a cult film. It doesn't stand up on its own.

    I suspect this movie will suck, I suspect it will not really have much to do with the oringal war games other then idea that a really smart kid causes a problem with a supposed to be smart government and then he has to learn some stupid lesson and save the day... all the while with a My Chemical Romance track playing in the background. Uugggh angst. Uggghhh nerds. Lame.

      In an attempt to give a reasoned response to such a trivial and ill thought out attack I give you the following.

      Blow me bitch.
      Go fuck a dead boar you dumb cunt.

      Better that we fondly remember a movie that inspired us, then be a cynical prick like you.
      Live in your own little deluded world where War Games is great art. I don't care if people like a movie that's dumb, I like a lot of stupid movies... but I have the sense to realize they're stupid. No matter how much Dude Where's My Car inspires me to do better with myself regardless of my situation... doesn't elevate it to having a good plot or good acting or being anything other than what it is.
