Cliffhanger 2 - Blu-ray Forum

He said what? Yeah, I don't get it either. I don't think Stallone is involved in any way:

Quote:

StudioCanal has announced that it will be teaming with Neal Moritz's production company to reboot Sylvester Stallone's 1993 film "Cliffhanger." The plan is to take the original Renny Harlin-directed film and turn it into a big-budget thriller that will center on a group of young climbers.

"Just as they rebooted 'Star Trek,' we're going to do the same with 'Cliffhanger,'" said Moritz, who will produce. Unlike the original, where Italy stood in for the Colorado Rockies, the new film looks set to feature multiple cliff-face locations.

At this point, the goal is to find a screenwriter and to begin shooting the film by 2010.

I couldn't possibly disagree with you more! CLIFFHANGER was a great
action flick, one of the very best of the 90's---quite frankly, I can't see
how anybody that likes action flicks wouldn't enjoy it.

I love action movies and I loved nearly all of Stallone's but come on the opening scene with the broad dangling from the wire was horrible. And Rooker's acting was terrible in this movie. To call this one of the best of the 90's is a serious stretch.

I always liked Cliffhanger (from what I remember). John Lithgow has always made a tremendous villain. (great actor)

really? I don't know-- I love action films too but as far as Stallone goes I have 2 favorites-- CLIFFHANGER and DEMOLITION MAN. I remember being
absolutely WOWED by CLIFFHANGER in the theatre-- I loved John Lithgow
as the villain, I must say I thought the opening scene was intense, the
locations and scenery were spectacular, the action scenes were great--
it IS one of my favorite action movies. I know many people think Renny
Harlin is a hack and maybe he is but I also loved DIE HARD 2 which he
directed...

No it'll take place on a rockwall at an LA Mall, while everybody gets served to the "gangsta" sounds of Soulja Boy......................

You never know, this movie could be good.

While director Renny Harlin's original "DIE HARD in the snow" action flick involved Sly's former ranger caught up in a heist gone wrong, the new version will focus on a group of younger climbers who probably text and tweet while securing carabiners. U R FALLING, ROFL

why? Just why?

iori · 05-14-2009, 02:03 PM

Maybe they can call it cliff limit or vertical hanger or even vertical cliff hanging to the limit.

minority? Lets say this instead: I am in the majority that made the original film gross $255 Million world wide at the box office back in 1993! Am with you though.
