Bases on the 1970s version

Definitely. If it's good. Backed by a good director and multiple good actors, but the writer has some question marks and that's what matters most.

 

P.S. - You gave us the wrong link. Go here.

I'm not a big fan of remakes, but I'll watch it since I really enjoy the original.

I hate that they used an R62 made it look like an 142. It looked horrable they should have used an redbird or an normal looking R62/A.

[Brighton Local]

I think ALL theatres will be filled with Transit Buffs, the night it comes out..:eek: The sign in all theatres acoss the the Tri-State Area will read:

 

"CAUTION: Slippery Floors, due to Massive Foaming".

Well the whole point of the film, besides remaking the story, is to paint a new image of the subway (to outsiders), i.e. showcasing the NTTs, and there are no single unit NTTs so this is what they did for the scene where the first car breaks off the train. Of course when we see it we'll be able to tell.

[mark1447]

I wounder if this will be based on the R142As, rather then an Old R33

Btw I fixed the Wiki page link

That's the thing. They're using R142As for this film, which do not come in single cars, hence the R62 "NTT".

Maybe also they wont use R142As, unless the production pays High. Since these cars were recently Built (around 2001-2003). Maybe the MTA will allow an older car, R62? or the original R22 from the movie of 1973

[R1Toasty]

I'll certainly go and see it the first night it's out . Anyway, guys, it's been said many times that they're using an R62 made to look like an R142 (and it's pretty good, I've seen pictures).

[N-Trizzy2609]

Tell you the truth, it's not that bad. I'll call it the R162!!! lol. But seriously, it's really not that bad

They can't... they've already filmed the subway car parts apparently.

I say put that thing back into service as is... with the exception of the controls of course, those have to be restored. Would make a nice anomaly against the R62A monotony.

[INDman]

The pics of the converted R62 looks great. They even painted the yellowish panels in the cab. I don't think that it would look all that bad if R62s were rebuilt like that. The one thing I don't get is what looks like an operators console on the off side end of the cab. There is even a strip map too.

u must of seen in a Documentary ? cuz thats weird =\

[Queens Surface]

Dam that modified R62 looks nice , I wonder if the MTA will really do that

[mark1447]

I'll certainly go and see it the first night it's out B). Anyway, guys, it's been said many times that they're using an R62 made to look like an R142 (and it's pretty good, I've seen pictures).

 

 

wow didnt notice this, its HOT! B) Imagine seeing a R62 for normal service like that... Hope I see it at TA Museum~~

 

Is the train at Westchester yard?

[RTD1]

HELL NO!

 

You dont remake a masterpiece.

 

The first attempted remake for ABC in the 90's was an atrocity in itself.

Its going back into service, but not like that. The movie studio paid to have the R62A look like that, and they're paying to put it back to normal for service again.

But wouldnt that cause a Delay on the Lex Line? Unless its taken late night or some other line

Why would it cause a delay on the Lexington Avenue line?

 

They probably did move it around late nights.

[Blackmanor1000]

I don't know if it'll be a good movie. A lot of remakes of good movies turn out to be not good. I'm just going to see because my uncle was an extra. He may not even be in the movie if they decided to cut out a part where he was shown.

[N-Trizzy2609]

Y'all better kiss mine and Trevor Logan's butt for this!!!
