Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Merge summary of other movies

I would only merge parts, afterall the three movies are only loosely connected (cast is totally different each time, as is the philosophy behind it) (clem 20:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC))

I wrote most of the Cube Zero article, and I don't have a problem with this. 205.188.117.14 14:07, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Rather than moving the overall summary into the article about the first movie, I've created a new Cube series article that describes all three movies and how they relate. -- Bovineone 07:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

If "the first two movies take place entirely within the maze" then would someone mind either explaining the end of Cube 2 or removing this ridiculous sentence? --Charax 22:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] any news of another sequal?

just wondering. Maybe Sasha didn't put the data what was taken. Besides, they have to explain how the cube evolved from an escape room to a hypercube or if it still even has an escape room. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.94.57.226 (talk) 02:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Oh no, please not

Not another idiot movie... Those "Cube" sequels are all like they were filmed by mentally handicapped people for similar ones. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.184.15.80 (talk) 10:05, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Agreed. The first one was brilliant, but the sequels stuck everything into the realm of sci-fi. In Cube, everything that happened could conceivably be built and manufactured. In the sequels, you've got theoretical math becoming real, "dream scanners", mind control, sound waves that make people evaporate, and let's not even mention the over the top James Bond villain from Cube Zero. Hypercube's theories were somewhat clever, but had poor execution. But Zero completely destroyed the original concept. That said, if they got a good script, I'd bet someone could come up with a decent sequel. Just as long as it ignored the previous sequels and stood on its own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.142.137 (talk) 09:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of false information

Im removing the trivia section which claims that Wynn is catagorically not Kazan from the original cube as I have just listened to the directors commentary and among other things he says "mabye this is Kazan or how Kazan came to be, making this much more of a prequel than a sequel". The director clearly meant for this issue to be left open ended and I think the author of this section of text was placing their own interpretation on this.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.109.46.177 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Traps/Clean Sweep

There were some errors and assumptions made in the traps section. They have been corrected. The comment about the clean sweep not explaining how clothing was removed was inaccurate. The movie clearly shows that a clean sweep incinerates people and clothing, see the 1 hour 20 minute mark when Haskell falls victim to the clean sweep. The scene clearly shows both he and his clothing are incinerated leaving nothing left in the room. Leavemade 02:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Critical reception

There needs to be some more "out of universe" information added, like critical reception, filming locations, green lighting progress and such. JayKeaton (talk) 06:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
