The Official Bob Shaye Appreciation Thread

[Brett H.]

Whew, all these forum moves have got my love for Shaye rekindled, especially with all the new pics coming out lately! It encouraged me to get to work on the ol' site. And, that I did. For all you Rebellion members, new and old, look at the link I am about to provide. This is not optional clicking folks, this is essential. I guarantee you will find pictures on this page that you have forgotten or have simply never seen. There are pics on there that have been lost for over 5 years now. These pictures were never added to the site, until now. Ladies and gentlemen...

The Shaye Rebellion Official Site! (http://www.angelfire.com/film/conflictingreviews/shaye.html) Now featuring ultra rare pics of Shaye and friends!

Once again, if you call yourself a Shaye fan, this is required viewing.

To mark this occassion on this new forum, I bring you the first pic ever done, created by one of the Rebellion's most cherished members:

Sorry for asking but when did the legend of Bob's drinking vodka start?

[Brett H.]

Nice pics, man!

Continuing with the ever popular trend of guys keeping their guts as big as possible and wanting their women as thin as ever, New Line head honcho, Bob Shaye made a big statement with actress Rosamund Pike when he opened up his coat at the Fracture premiere:

[Sikbert]

Shaye stole "Ferdy's" ice cream truck and is now hocking Smirnoff out of it.

[WesReviews]

omg lolz

dis thred rulz

[Brett H.]

Sorry for asking but when did the legend of Bob's drinking vodka start?

Shaye's drinking really started on a boring story. Literally, all that started it was on the NOES Encyclopedia DVD in the Primetime Documentary where Renny Harlin states (about the NOES 4 premiere, driving around in a limo), "we were drinking vodka [pause]... which we both enjoy."

That's it!

[Brett H.]

Today, a good friend of the Rebellion has passed on. Keith Knight, who played Hollis in My Bloody Valentine died last Wednesday. We at the Rebellion extend our deepest thoughts and prayers to Keith and his friends and family. WesReviews paid tribute to him a few years back with this pic, and dammit, it chokes me up to see it.

R.I.P. Keith. :(

[nottidelterrore]

He was amazing as the bartender from the S&M bar in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge.

And I never noticed he was in that scene from Loaded Weapon 1. Ahahaha. I love that movie.

:lol:

I assume this picture was taken after Shaye threw a bottle of vodka at someone when hearing about Kreddy. Notice how the lady in the back is looking towards the floor. Shaye must have connected.

[Esten]

Then Bob's all "You fuckers didn't see that, did you? RIGHT?!"

Oh man, this is a funny thread. And I love Jeans's first post of Shaye's face on an Anime girl. :lol: :lmao:

And nope, ChoKo. That pic you post never get old. Kinda like Shaye himself. :p

Oh Wow...it's good to see that this is back!:D

[The Dream Master]

Guys, I can't remember if this was ever noticed or not, but I was watching Alone in the Dark tonight (which was produced by our man Shaye) and noticed something here.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg138/thedreammaster1983/AITD6-1.jpg

Check out the box on top of the shelf. Shaye was gracious enough to donate props. :X

[Brett H.]

That is really awesome, DM. Oh, the Vodka? ;)

And that Shaye-nan pic rules. Look at that package. WOW. Lock up your mothers.

[WesReviews]

Oh, the memories of the original Shaye Appreciation Thread. *sniffle*

Good times, good times. Keep the pics comin'. :)

[ChoKo]

I felt like making a new Shaye pic today. Here's what I came up with:

YEA YEA

[WesReviews]

As some of you may already know, Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne stepped down as the CEOs of New Line Cinema today.

And now, a moment of silence.

:cry:

[Esten]

Rest in peace, New Line.

New Line's in Uptown now. :sniffle:

[WesReviews]

Here's hoping Bob will get the chance to direct more movies, now that he's not over a studio.

I'm telling you, he could direct an awesome horror movie, if his short film on the Book of Love DVD is any indication.

[ChoKo]

Rest in peace, New Line.

New Line's in Uptown now. :sniffle:

Holy shit. You didn't just reference The Heavenly Kid, did you?

You mean I'm not the only person who's seen that movie? :sniffle:

[Esten]

Holy shit. You didn't just reference The Heavenly Kid, did you?

You mean I'm not the only person who's seen that movie? :sniffle:

This August.....

They've got it covered.....

From Old Line Cinema.

Starring Lou Diamond Phillips.

Rated PG-13

[WesReviews]

Dear God...

Esten, you just made me laugh out loud at work. Damn you.

lol. That is, truly great stuff. :sniffle:

[ChoKo]

Something I've noticed several times but have always forgot to mention; (I think) They used the same stock footage of the TV-aerobics chicks from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter in The Heavenly Kid. I think it was also in Grumpier Old Men, if I'm not mistaken.

Slightly off topic, but oh well.

[WesReviews]

According to today's Variety, Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne are forming their own company, and are headhunting New Line execs who are expected to jump ship once Warner fully takes over.

It shall begin again...and it shall be glorious.

[Esten]

Old Line Cinema shall live, motherfuckers!

[The Dream Master]

Old Line Cinema shall live, motherfuckers!

:sniffle:

If the WB wants to keep any execs, Bob should only let them stay if he gets the rights to Nightmare (but only if he cuts that remake shit out--I'll give him another chance, damnit). Of course, it's probably not going to happen, but a man can dream, right?

[Brett H.]

WHERE DID HE GO DERE

[The Dream Master]

Secretaries Beware, Bob Shaye is Back! (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i33fe2c109f8912f6005e907d19b04c9a)

Rebellion 4 life, bitches.

[Sean [The Wildcard]]

The power of Shaye will never die!

:D

[Esten]

Shaye basically tells Emmerich to eat a dick. Gotta love Bob.

[WesReviews]

A great new interview with Shaye can be found here...

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/the_big_picture/2008/07/bob-shaye-back.html

:( It makes me sad that Bob actually cried when this interviewer asked him about being forced out of New Line.

WE'RE DERE FOR YA BOB! THE REBELLION LIVES.

Any idea who made this wicked doep shit? Wes found it on his hard drive, but the file is dated July of 2004. :o

[The Dream Master]

:o

I don't know who made it, but I sure would watch that.

Also, I just happened to be on Bob's Wikipedia page, and he can apparently speak Swedish.

Does Renny speak Finnish or Swedish? Because if it's the latter, we all know the first sentence Bob learned in Swedish: "Renny, open the bottle."

HOLLLYYYY SHIIIITTTT!!!!!

I made that, and I'm telling the truth due to the "Springett Films" title at the beginning...because that's my last name. :D

I remember hosting that on my AOL Hometown server way back in 2004, as well as a few other HTP hosting sites back in the day.

It's been forever since I've seen that, as it is no longer existent on my computer.

I'm glad someone actually still had that, and thanks for posting it!

[The Dream Master]

Reaper, that video is awesome.

:bang:

[Sean [The Wildcard]]

Thanks, TDM.

Now...I think I should do one about Atkins.

[WesReviews]

Apparently, my old PC is a graveyard for old awesome forum stuff. :sniffle:

[Sean [The Wildcard]]

Thanks again for finding it again.

I am seriously thinking of doing something for Tom Atkins, because I have a transfer of 'Night of the Creeps' on my comp.

Hmmmmm....

[nottidelterrore]

On my way. Where I want to be. Got to staaaayyyyyyy.....

OUT ON THE EDGE

:D

I'm betting it all on the roll of the dice.
Got nothing to lose but the rest of my life.
I'm chasing a dragon and I'm gonna ride him down.
Harder I run and the faster I go.
In the faces I've never seen here before.
I know this is it, it's too late to turn back now.

[WesReviews]

So... been a while since there have been any updates on the Shaye front.

Not heard a lot about Unique Features lately either. I suppose it takes some time to get a new production company off the ground. The company has anywhere from 9 to 11 films in development, depending on which article you read. Shame that UF doesn't even have a website.

[Oxley]

I couldn't help but feel so sorry for the guy when he was talking about his company in Never Sleep Again. You could tell he was holding back tears. I've been on and off the guy but when you take notice of how much he really tried to create something fans would at least find fun, you can't help but love the guy. And the fact he never took anyone's shit is great. It's a shame he lost his company the way he did.

[Ron]

I felt that too, Ox. Shaye was definitley fighting back tears and I got sort of choked up watching the end of the doc myself.

[WesReviews]

On Facebook last night, Lin Shaye posted a pic of herself as a little girl asking Santa Claus for something. I posted a reply to it saying "Please tell me you have a pic of Bob like that as well."

Her reply: "wes, bob never asked Santa for anything....he just told him what he wanted....!"

:sniffle:

[The Tall Man]

Her reply: "wes, bob never asked Santa for anything....he just told him what he wanted....!"
OH-HO SHITNESS!

That is awesome, sir!

T.M., Esq.

[WesReviews]

All this talk about RoboCop's statue... and I completely forgot about Detroit's TRUE favorite son...

http://oh-the-horror.com/datas/users/8-bob.jpg

Am I suggesting a statue to be built to honor him? Absolutely.

[The Tall Man]

He should be riding on Robocop's shoulders.

T.M., Esq.

[WesReviews]

He should be riding on Robocop's shoulders.

T.M., Esq.

Unfortuntely, the world isn't awesome enough to let something like that happen. :(

[Scarecrow]

He should be riding on Robocop's shoulders.

T.M., Esq.


I thought he rode on Freddy's shoulders?



- Scarecrow

[WesReviews]

I thought he rode on Freddy's shoulders?

Try telling Bob that. :doggy:

[WesReviews]

A big Hollywood Powerhouse HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to Bob Shaye today. Age 72 today.

[WesReviews]

So...

Posted by Wes R.
Give Bob a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY from myself and the many Nightmare fans at F13Community.com & Oh-the-horror.com. We still think the world of him! Thanks! :)

I passed your kind words and good wishes along!

WINNING.

Bad news on the Shaye front...

WB, New Line toppers part ways

First-look deal at Unique Features expires without renewal

By Dave McNary

Warner Bros. has parted ways with former New Line toppers Robert Shaye and Michael Lynne, who have seen their first-look deal at Unique Features run out with being renewed.

The studio, Shaye and Lynne had no comment Wednesday about the expiration of the deal. Unique Features remains in a business-as-usual mode, developing several features including "Heavy Rain" at Warners.

Shaye founded New Line in 1967 in his New York apartment and built it into a minimajor through focusing on horror, comedies, art films and the occasional tentpole. The company -- home to "The Lord of the Rings," "Austin Powers," "Friday the 13th," "A Nightmare on Elm Street," "Rush Hour," "The Mask" and "Boogie Nights" -- was folded into Warner Bros. as a small genre arm and Shaye and Lynne were ousted in early 2008 as part of Time Warner's decision to cut costs by slashing over 500 slots.

Shaye and Lynne signed their first-look deal with Warners a few months later.

Key projects developed at New York-based Unique are an adaptation of Paul McCartney's "High in the Clouds," an animated adaptation of a children's book written by McCartney, Geoff Dunbar and Philip Ardagha about a squirrel's quest to find an animal sanctuary; it's partnered with Constantin on "The Mortal Instruments," an adaptation of the Cassandra Clare fantasy book trilogy; and "Heavy Rain" with David Milch on board to adapt the noir-style videogame.

Warner Bros. currently has 32 term deals with producers, far more than any other studio.

The New York Post first reported on the first-look deal ending for Unique.

I suppose Unique Features can and will find a home somewhere else, but this will definitely postpone any projects they might've had in the developmental pipeline.

[Dusk]

There will never be another mugging cameo hog than Bob Shaye. Bless him.

[WesReviews]

Happy Birthday to the big guy!

Hope he's doing well. :D

[Rich]

I wonder what this guy is doing now. New Line Cinema was a company formed by Shaye and Risher from the ground up, pretty much with A Nightmare on Elm Street. Then corporate America comes and steals their company away from them. It really must be heart breaking. At least Shaye has a legacy of movies from A Nightmare on Elm Street to Lord of the Rings to be proud of. The corporate fuckfaces can take his company away from him, but not his accomplishments.
