forthcoming film trailers (7 Viewers)

In 1989, stuntman John Stewart made his directorial debut with his own outrageous, over-the-top piece of high-octane filmmaking, full of insane practical stunts and without a speck of CGI in sight. The movie languished in obscurity…until now. Check out the trailer below.

I liked the 1990 one

I only ever managed 3 or 4 minutes and then fled in terror. I was only 7 in fairness.

We read the book about once a month because my daughter loves it, so will most likely go see this.
 
Yeah, that film was proper scary for a kid. Proof therefore that no remake or rEiMAgIniNG was needed.


I did not know this though (wiki):


Roald Dahl was incensed that Roeg had changed his original ending in the script. As a gesture of conciliation, Roeg offered to film two versions before he made his final choice: the book version where Luke remains a mouse, and the happier version where he is transformed back into a human. Upon watching the scene loyal to his book, Dahl was so moved that he was brought to tears.

However, Roeg decided to go with the changed ending, which led Dahl to demand that his name be removed entirely from the credits, and to threaten a publicity campaign against the film. He was only dissuaded from this on the urging of Jim Henson



I actually remember being a bit miffed as a kid that the ending was changed.
