Your link reminds me of a line from a Firesign Theatre album : "Can't get there from here !"

This will work, and my blood ran cold.

No ideas. Zip, zilch, nada.

To paraphrase one of the real entertainers , "Take my link --- please !"

Thanks for the heads up. Now we'll have extra time to catch up on our reading.

Apparently Hollywood has lost all imagination and originality!

Remaking a film that is already good is part of why I don't like "High Society" or "Easy to Wed".
Of course most of the remakes on that list were based on previous material already (plays, books, etc.).

Sincerely,
The Wolf

Unexpectedly, found an actor who might work to replace the late Edward Woodward in the Equalizer remake... I think Michael Caine could carry the role, if he can master that "ice-cold professional tempered by deep regret of what others force him to do" mixed attitude.

What I find amusing is that a lot of the remakes or reboots are being done on cheaper budgets, but being done in '3D' so they can charge higher ticket prices.

I actually really liked Cliffhanger.

Im surprised the 'Wizard of Oz' or the 'Sound of Music' isnt on that list. Give it 10 years.

This is a whole new facet of the movie industry. People know these remakes are going to be bad, most expect them to be, but people will go see them if nothing else to compare them to the original, or to think less in leu of lager FXs. This makes movie making safe and a quicker return on their investment because the build in demographic is already there. What other industry can do that?

Now do you really want to see a Tim Burtonized version of Wizard of Oz??? And who would Johnny Depp play?

 

[Lady Day]

Ive never seen the original, and thats not the point.
What's up for grabs next? Cleopatra, the Ten Commandments, On the Waterfront? Rebel Without a Cause?

It used to be you'd sequel a movie franchise to death if you wanted to milk the build in audience. This is just lazy. They are not actually improving these movies/stories, even though some could stand to be improved/updated. This is just to make a more CG version with less story that is more palatable to a non thinking audience and that they can charge more so that its 'reformatted' in 3D. Like the switch from Laserdisc to DVD. Its pretty sad.

Oh! And then we HAVE to have the theader musical version too, you know, like they have done with Hairapray, and Sherck, and Legally Blonde *yucky*

Yes indeed...very sad

In regards to Hollywood loosing it's creativity, My mother had a teacher in high school that said something to the effect of between the bible, greek mythology & Viking tales, there is no such thing as an original story anymore.

Ocean's Two Dozen

Your post brings to mind the possibility of a remake or a sequel blending multiple films : Ocean's Dirty Dozen, for instance.

 

[Richard Warren]

I'm almost stunned into silence. It wouldn't be so bad if there were a chance that any of them wold be any good. Just a small chance.

 

[AmateisGal]

This list makes me, well, sad. There are so many good ideas out there that deserve a chance on the big screen.
