Richard Stanley's Island of Dr Moreau
Tags: None -
Saw this at a festival. One of the first movies that you could follow very closely from announcement to production due to the explosion of 90's fanzines.
It neber had a chance with Stanley or after him. Always surprised New Line didn't offer a boatload to Cronenberg to take it over, since this was during his flux stage and needed a studio production. -
Can you imagine a Cronenberg Moreau? Wow.
I'd like to see this doc, the production was so troubled and it's my favorite Wells novel.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

A radio show I listen to had Ron Perlman on talking about that film recently. He had some funny stories to tell.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Nice,I just watched this documentary last night.
Followed by hardware,haven't seen that one in about 20 years.
Island was just a hot mess right from the get go.“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”Comment

I agree totally.
The opening scene in the wasteland/desert is by far one of the coolest I've seen.
I rank it right up there with the opening of the original mad max.
I'd go as far as saying I enjoyed hardware as much as blade runner.“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”Comment

I personally discount Hardware since he swiped the idea from 2000AD. And lost in court, eventually.
That's just me, though. It's like Independence Day. I went in not liking it because they felt HG Wells didn't deserve acknowledgement.Comment
