I wasn't talking about CGI, I was talking about those cheap fog machines they had to use and how they had to blow it around to make it look like it was moving, they should be able to make that look a little better and realistic.

I thought Jamie Lee Curtis and Adrienne Barbeau were the main characters? my point is how is a guy going to be the star.

The Hollywood Reporter writes:
Tom Welling and Maggie Grace will star in the remake of John Carpenter's classic horror thriller "The Fog" for Revolution Studios. Rupert Wainwright is directing and Debra Hill, David Foster and Carpenter are producing the film, which Cooper Layne is penning from the screenplay written by Hill and Carpenter for the original 1980 film.

"Fog" is set in a Northern California town where, about 100 years ago, a ship sank under mysterious circumstances in a thick, eerie fog. The ghosts of the deceased mariners return from their watery graves to seek their revenge.

Welling will play a local boat owner who never left the town, and Grace will portray a college girl who is back in her hometown for the summer. CAA-repped Welling is the star of the WB Network hit "Smallville." He also appeared in the feature "Cheaper By the Dozen." Grace, repped by Innovative Artists, is best known for the ABC hit "Lost."

with the technology they have today you never know it might be better, but I know that's a long shot.

valid point, but not in this case imo...

no amount of new technology or cgi can better the atmosphere JC achieved with the film. I can't think of any current actors that'll act right and fit the parts in the film...the only way round this, would be to cast good unknown actors, but that probably would'nt be in the producers best interests, as It'll no doubt have to have a couple of mainstream actors to entertain the masses.

if Carpenter sells out to the 'remake crew' I'll burn every JC film I own.

i don't think he will...hopefully

the original was a classic but a little slow moving and not enough shots of the ghosts. if they speed it up in the remake and give the ghost more scene time, this is going to be one cool movie.
