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.

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] Expansion

The article needs, among other things, info on the 1956 original. (Ibaranoff24 22:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Remake?

I can find nothing to support the statement that the 1994 film was in any way, shape, or form a remake of the 1956 film. They shared the same title but otherwise had very little in common. If the 1994 film was indeed a remake, this article (among many other things) will require a citation indicating this. The two films should probably be split into separate articles if they are indeed unrelated. 23skidoo 12:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I got the info from IMDb. They aren't always right, so maybe these films are indeed unrelated. I think that the entire Showtime series might just be unrelated movies using the same titles as several AIP classics, and a AIP-style approach, but not exactly being remakes (an example of this is Ralph Bakshi's Cool and the Crazy, which takes the title, but not the story from a 1950s AIP production).
