Talk:Mirrors (2008 film)

Backwards R
The character used as a backwards R is not a backwards R. It is the Cyrillic letter Ya, meaning that the name is pronounced "mir-ya-ors". Georgia guy (talk) 22:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * While that could be true I do beleive that the makers of the film just think of it as a mirrored R (compare the 2 and you see they are just mirrored) and that they prefer to call it Mirrors. 84.195.196.193 (talk) 17:30, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

new title
Phil76 in creating MIRЯORS (film) you made a number of mistakes: &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * when making a new title, we move the article, we do not do copy&paste which hides the history
 * when making a redirect as in this state, we replace the entire text. We do not add a redirect tag and leave the text in place.
 * I think the article lives better on this title: any use of capitals is SHOUTING and the use of Ya is an amusing visual trick but inappropriate for a serious encyclopedia.

Into the Mirror
The article currently states-

Alexandre Aja has mentioned that this project is not a remake of the 2003 South Korean horror film Into the Mirror, though there are some similarities.[2]

Yet at the beginning of the credits, it says something along the lines of "Based on the Korean film Into the Mirror". I think the line in the article should be worded to show a stronger connection, as with the current wording it seems like the similarities are accidental. DrHacky (talk) 04:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I mean on the Alexandre Aja page theres a little mention of Mirrors there, and it says its a remake, which clearly contradicts the "its not a remake" comment of this page. Does anyone know if this is actually a remake? Captainkid (talk) 14:18, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The DVD extra features says it is a remake, but they threw out most of the stuff from he Korean original... so it's a "reimagining" (if you think of Battlestar Galactica); it's quite similar though... fire in a department store, an ex-cop, ending up in the mirror world at the end, haunted mirrors... 76.66.196.139 (talk) 14:14, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Poster?
There is a poster of an anime in the part where Amy seems Michale's refection stay in the mirror. I was surprised that they put it there. Its I think [Negima]. I didn't imagine to see a anime poster in a horror movie, let alone in a child's room, he's like what 6? and in the anime there is like nudity for like teenagers. But whatever. All in all, it's weird to see the poster in the movie. I laughed a bit when I saw it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackRose09 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Mikey's room has two anime posters, Negima and Tsubasa Chronicle. Yes, they are odd choices. While it's possible for a 6 year old boy to be an anime fan, he'd more likely be involved in action-oriented things which had television broadcasts. In the 90s it would've been dragonball, in 2007-2008 I'm guessing Naruto or Bleach. While there was an English DVD released for the first season of Tsubasa Chronicle, it's not the type of things a beginner would have access to. Would be interested in knowing which set designer put those in, perhaps as a joke. ScratchMarshall (talk) 01:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Filming Locations
Where was the mayflower building filmed at? The building is stunning... just wondering if it is real and if so where? Bankhallbretherton (talk) 00:02, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Shot in Romania, most of it was filmed in Nicolae Ceausescu's unfinished Academy of Sciences building in Bucharest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.77.104 (talk) 10:26, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
