Talk:The Invasion (film)

message: I have edited the page regarding the re-shooting taking place on this film.  Previously there was just one unsourced line.  There has been notable gossip and news coverage around this film's delayed opening and re-shooting, and I think it deserved its own section in the page covering this aspect of the production, especially as this issue will almost certainly be part of the pre-release coverage of the film (whether the studio wants it or not), and may be cited in reviews once it is released, depending on how it turns out.  Editors can put all new information on this subject there, where I think it will belong.  I have added only sourced items to this section, and removed the previous statement that the ending of the film was re-shot in October 2006, since there was no source and I was unable to find one.  If someone finds it, please re-add it.NYDCSP 15:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Apparently the Wachowski Bros were brought in to do re-writes and their ex-AD, now director (for V For Vendetta) McTeigh was brought in to oversee these reshoots according to the LA Times today with a confirmation by Alan Horn, head of Warners.  RoyBatty42 22:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Title

message: No offence, but why the hell does the references to Robin Cook's Invasion get removed every single time it is added, claiming it is "original research"? In the book, small flying saucers come to earth and infects people (in the movie it is small flying black rocks), causing them to change into emotionless beings. The infected then starts to organize themselves, decided to infect every uninfected human on earth until all have become like them. A small group of still uninfected humans with medical knowledge are working to come up with antibodies to reverse the effects of the virus before it is too late. Even the title is the same, and this Nicole Kidman film has much more similarities with Robin Cook's Invasion than with Invasion of the Body Snatchers. So I really can't see why someone is removing this in an almost autistic manner. Hipporoo 06:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I could swear the previews are showing footage of the Columbia wreckage. Can anyone confirm that the footage is indeed from the resulting news footage of the recovered Columbia pieces? If it is should it be noted in the main wiki. DigitalSaber 01:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Even if the website that hosts the forum is respected, it seems that anyone can post on that forum.  I'm not sure if that's the best proof to reflect a "major" concern about the footage being used.  I'm sure that if the film comes out and the footage is of the Columbia wreckage, reporters and reviewers will be pointing that out. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 10:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I created the wikiquote page, and added a link in the external links section, this mini-edit war could have been avoided if the user deleting this quote section would have just created this wikiquote page. 
I find to avoid edit wars, sometimes I have to make an extra effort. It is easy to simply delete work, harder to create it, taking that extra step to avoid an edit war.

replies: text: Was added long ago, but still, this is a considerably dumb comment; the story of the movie is from a novel that was written in the 1950s, long before public discussion on the Scientology problem  ever began (the sect was only created in '52 !). A much more interesting - and referencable - note is that Daniel Craig works with two actors from films he made at roughly the same time. He was with Kidman in The Golden Compass and with Jeffrey Wright in Casino Royale. Interestingly, Eva Green was also in both of the later films... -- Imladros (talk) 01:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The movie ends with direct reference to Iraq War. I don't remember exact words but Daniel Craig says something like "if we cared about human rights it would mean that we're infected by aliens". I guess that's the movie's message.

message: Why does it say that language of this film is English and Russian? Is this movie not completely in English? (Trikita (talk) 04:21, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about the film, but the [Category:Russian-language_films] states "Films in which the Russian language is wholly or partially spoken." I can only guess that some character speaks a few words in Russian (or maybe speaking a Russian name is sufficient?), which then automatically makes the film a "Russian-language film"... IMO that category needs a much narrower scope than "Russian language partially spoken"!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:A60:1785:FD01:224:1DFF:FE77:8DF5 (talk) 18:25, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
