Saw a billboard about this. Never knew they were making another one. Anyone seen anything else about it? I know Dwane Johnson "The Rock" is in it.

It's called Race to Witch Mountain and I know the girl, AnnaSophia Robb, from the Bridge to Terabithia is the young girl. The original twins, Tia and Tony, make cameos as a waitress and a sheriff so keep a close eye on that.

I am just not sure I am ready for all of the remakes that have been coming out recently from all of the studios. I hope this Witch Mountain movie is well thought out and not just another continuation of a movie franchise. I barely remember the original, so it would be great to see it again. I wish the Disney Channel still had the Vault so I could have a chance to see some of the classics when I am up in the middle of the night with insomnia!

I just watched the original again. It terrified me as a kid, but I really enjoyed it now! Hopefully the new one will be just as good - at least I know the Winnebago will be there!

I am not sure how I feel about this movie. I'll give it a chance though.

I have to agree with missing the Vault on the Disney Channel. I used to love watching that late at night!

Looking forward to seeing this one. Big fan of the originals. We are hoping to take our son for a surprise birthday party when it comes out.

Never saw the first one, probably not going to see this one. Not because I think it to be a bad movie, but because I don't usually go to see Movies in the theater anymore. It is for personal reasons. From the trailers it looks OK, Maybe I will see it later through Netflix, or other sources

So has anyone seen this yet? I just had a customer come in and he butchered the name of the movie. I guess it didn't make that great of an impression on him.

It doesn't come out until the 20th, unless it came out earlier in other countries.

It opened in our area on Thursday.

I now see commercials saying that it's now playing. I could have sworn I saw a poster that said the 20th.

Huh. I must have gotten it confused for another movie poster. Thanks for helping me clear it up, js.

I saw the movie last night. It's cute, a good family movie. The kids do a good job and the Rock isn't bad. Love the cameos from the original kids. If you are looking for an entertaining way to kill an hour and forty-five minutes, then go see the movie. If you are looking for a thought-inspiring criticism of the government dealing with extraterrestrial contact, then this is not the movie for you.

LOL!! Definitely not looking for ANYTHING "thought-inspiring" from government.

But I am looking forward to seeing the movie. It grossed $25 million (US) this weekend.
