June 11, 2004 - release date Starring: Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Faith Hill, Bette Midler, Glenn Close, Jon Lovitz Directed By: Frank Oz Synopsis and trailer can be seen here This remake is a comedy-thriller which is a bit different from the original ---> a scarier thriller with social commentary/satire thrown in. I hope the reviews are good because I want to see it - great cast! |

I hope you're wrong about that. I often shy away from remakes, but this appears promising to me. We'll know soon... |

I saw the previews for it last night. LOL Bette Midler as a stepford wife. It does look very good. Now maybe when I call myself a stepford wife, people will know what I'm talking about  |

I'll see it just to see Christopher Walken. I love that guy! Lately, though...I am kind of sick of Nicole Kidman. I'll wait til video for it. |

I read that Nicole Kidman had to come back and reshoot some of the scenes that did not play well to the test audience. |

I dated myself today and went to see this movie. I needed to cool off. It was a very hot day here - high 80's and that's a heat wave for Oregon. lol It wasn't as wonderful as I had hoped, but it was plenty of fun. Laughed out loud at several lines and enjoyed how this remake ended, unlike the original. I was happily surprised by that. |

I love Christopher Walken too Eileen!! Been a huge fan since The Dead Zone. But I'll wait until this comes out on video. Thanks for the preview Becca. |

Christopher Walken is creepy. He always gets the creepy parts, too, except in Blast from the Past. He was perfectly cast as the dad. |

Loved The Dead Zone! And Piper, I always thought Christopher Walken was creepy, but then I saw him in some interviews and he's actually a really funny guy! He loves being funny but knows he's sort of typecasted so he's going with it. Ever since seeing the "real" him, I appreciate him even more. I'll watch a movie just for him. Unfortunately, with the kids and little time I usually have to wait for movies on video. I used to "date" myself, too, and go see movies. Miss that!! But my kids are worth losing a life outside the house for, lol! |

I read that Christopher Walken is a pretty nice guy in real life. I found that hard to believe because he plays such weird characters, but he's one of a kind with a good sense of humor and is well-liked. Do you remember when Paula Prentiss was married to that dork Richard Benjamin? I could never figure that one out. |

I was pleasantly surprised too. Bette Midler stole the movie she was hilarious. I liked it a lot. |
