the island

In Oz I saw a trailer for the remake before Sin City (how long did that take?)
Big stars, corny sets and worse dialogue... just what you'd expect.
It's not called THX.... but something more bland like "The World Outside" or "Escaped"...
i don't know.Should be out soon in the US

its called the island, and well, its not really a thx1138 remake, it just borrows from it tremendously

remake was the wrong word, ripoff is more accurate

+++Enter response:
rip-off? does it use the entire storyline etc?... if it were a rip-off - I don't think Lucas would allow it to hit the theatre.

come to think of it.. THX1138 (dir.cut) is the only Lucas film i have ever seen!!
did he make other films besides all the sjtar wars?

maybe somebody should figure out the font for this while we're at it, it's bound to come up.

screw that noise, logan's run is better
- lucky690
The basic plot detail is exactly the same.
I think rip-off is okay cause he probably wanted it remade for todays audiences, restyle, remake, remodel, resell.
the permission was his. i

is that what i'm thinking of?
where they watch them rise into the afterlife? but really there ain't none.
they both are similar stories, no?
- GreedoLives0
sorta similar...underground societies being controlled by a big brother. but in the island the people are apparently spare parts clones for people living above ground, not living below ground because of some apocalyptic event like in thx1138.

THX 1138 (1971)
Logan's Run (1976)Logan's had the soma and the sex and all that...?

Logan's Run was made in a shopping mall. How's that for can't-live-past-30 irony...

Logan's Run (the remake) is coming out in 2007 by Joel Silver
