Scribe Penn Takes on THE ARGONAUTS

I've seen the original version, the one that 20th century is doing is remaking...I want to see the DreamWorks version because that sounds fun and different...Just my opinion though...Of course I will go see them both if done well...

Man this is some fucked up bullshit. Add anothe movie to list about swords & sandals while those bastards at Sony sit on their frakkin asses instead of putting the motherfrakin God of War into the front burner and release that shit!

Jason is also in God of War and he gets owned by Kratos!!


Anyway, I'll go check this flick out when it's released.

I knew this was coming with all the new sword and sandal movies. What I am really pleased about is that the Zak Penn script sounds like an original take on the myth, not a movie remake like the new Clash of the Titans. This new one is its own film not stealing the title and plot from the original Ray Harryhausen classic like the Titans one is.

The Dreamworks story sounds pretty cool, too. Modern guys suddenly transported back in time and having to deal with Medusa and the like. Kind of sounds like the next step for a National Treasure movie.

I agree with monkeyfoot in that they both sound interesting and are at least different takes on the story.

Also what I read about Fox's version is that it's supposed to be nmuch more graphic with the violence and nudity. Telling the story the way it should be while DW's definitely sounds like a family adventure sort of film.

Looking forward to both.

Hey, I enjoyed both Dante's Peak and Volcano. I likeed both Deep Impact and Armeggedon. There is no reason two genre films of the same topic can't get made. Although, I think one is going to have to change the name. I dig Zack Penn, so I would most likely see his, but depending on how they look in a trailer will be the clincher for me. And I did enjoy the made for tv version of this movie back in 2000 with Jason "Randal Pink Floyd" London as Jason, so who knows how it could turn out.

Dazed & Confused owns!!

The competing themes can work, depending on their respective quality. Ultimately, that's the greatest deciding factor. If they're both good, they'll probably both do well.

I love sword and sandal movies so the more the better, but why can't they just make one of each. Though I was ticked that they never made teh other Alexander the Great movie, because the one they made sucked and had him totally wrong. For one thing he wasn't gay.

Fun game to play,,,,,,watch Dazed and Confused and try to smoke everytime they smoke in the movie. Drinking also works.....it will get you spliced son.....another good movie to do that to is Half-Baked.........best secene in Half-Baked......Kenny walks out of the store will all the groceries and sees the horse and says, "Hey girl, you hungry?" and the fat black chick walking by says, "Fuck you nigga!!".....I piss my pants everytime.
