Tim Bradstreet Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yep - Tom's off to Vancouver to start shooting this next week. I know it sounds a bit strange, these guys against a Grizzly, but trust me, it's a LOT cooler than it sounds - tb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 It does sound a bit strange but I'm with you Tim I betcha it's gonna be great! I'm sure it will have a bit of everything in it as well as a few laughs.. You can't go wrong when all the leads in this are phenomenal. First off any film with TJ in it makes the film more insteresting and exciting to me... Adding Billy Bob Thorton to the mix...well, have any of you seen "The Monster's Ball"? That movie says it all...and his raunchy "Bad Santa"...I loved him in that. That character was just hilarious!!! LOL I can so see this...the two of them working together. He's truly magnificent. I love realistic horror/thrillers and this seems to be one. Not just about soft porn and killings in the woods... So I'm so glad TJ took this thriller on because it has been a while since we had seen him in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdminGuyX Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I don't think James Marsden is going to survive that shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Here's hoping it turns out good, killer bear movies tend to not be the easiest to pull off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosella Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I’ll bear in mind that it’s a LOT cooler than it sounds. As long as there’s suspense & real fear, I’ll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysgaze Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just wanted to add this link that has more of a plot synopsis: "... the script revolves around two estranged brothers (Marsden and Jane) who make amends in the remote wilderness with their respective girlfriends. However, their freshly repaired bond is threatened when they're attacked and stalked by a grizzly bear nicknamed the Red Machine." http://www.slashfilm.com/james-marsden-thomas-jane-billy-bob-thornton-red-machin\ e/ Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpweber Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I can see where some folks might groad, butI don't think it sounds that bad. JAWS had a very similar premise, and look how that turned out. Mike is right, you don't see a whole lot of good "killer bear" films, but that could change. Doing a film in this subgenre excites me because it's along my belife on remakes: why remake a classic? It already worked. Remake a crappy film with a good idea and make it great.

Mike V Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 The Edge is pretty much the high water mark for the killer bear genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well if they can come close to The Edge, or even The Grey (which I just watched andwas awesome) that this is shaping up well!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'll settle for Deep Blue Sea with a bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AdminGuyX Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Tom's been posting some killer photos of Vancouver on his whosay account.

SonOfTheDark Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Scott Glenn, Adam Beach And More Round Out The Red Machine Cast According to a new report from Variety, Red Machine has completed its casting and James Marsden, Thomas Jane, Piper Perabo and Billy Bob Thornton will be joined by Scott Glenn, Adam Beach, Michaela McManus and Kelly Curran. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Scott-Glenn-Adam-Beach-More-Round-Out-Red-Machine-Cast-29225.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdminGuyX Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 It sounds like a pretty good cast. I was checking the IMDB page for the flick. Looks like the director, David Hackl directed SAW V, which I did not see. He's primarily been an art director it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah, it's a Saw movie, so there's an inherit style that carries over, the only thing that really changes with the movies are the color palette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyce ford Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 This movie is going to be totally awsome. Anything he is in is good. And you throw Billy Bob Thornton in it and it makes it even better. Can't wait until it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayesse8 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 The cast sounds great - and I love the birthday bear photo TJ posted! That's one big frikkin' grizzly!!!

viendammage Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wow what a great cast! Loved The Grey so if it brings that same raw energy and harrowing pace, we'll be in for a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 If I can enjoy The Sweetest Thing because TJ is in it and in spite of Cameron Diaz, I'm sure I'm gonna love this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
