remake leon never did like the fact he didn't fuck natalie portman

[I. Hustle]

I am not going to lie... I am waiting for the Footloose remake because I am in love with Julianne Hough.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I want them to remake Sideout or Summer School.

I don't care if they remake Sideout (though good luck ever recreating the simmering sexual tension between Sinjin Smith and Randy Stoklos that drove that movie), but Summer School better be left the fuck alone.

[SA210]

It amazes me how they want to remake films that there is nothing wrong with at all. They are perfectly fine to be the original forever. No way that it will be topped. Noone will remember the remake in this instance the same way noone remembers or gives a f about the piece of crap karate kid remake in the same way we dont give a damn about the Texas Chainsaw remake or the newer nightmare on elm street, and the same i predict for the disgrace wannabe remake of Fright Night. etc. It's all frickin trash.

:pctoss

Hollywood sucks.

Are you kidding? I'll give you the fact that Mark Harmon can't be replaced but can you imagine the upgrades on the other characters? How much hotter the preggo could be. How much better the Special FX guys could be. Not to mention they could easily pick up a hotter version of the chick that couldn't drive.
The only thing that would worry me is that they would Put Ryan Reynolds as Mr. Shoop and probably Kate Hudson instead of Kirstie Alley.

I was in love with Courtney Thorne-Smith but as hot as I thought she was she could easily be replaced by any young tramp actress.

Please take your seats.

You're dead to me, Hustle.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Although, given that the big obstacle to overcome in the film was a standardized test (and Schoop's job security being directly tied into it, albeit by an insane wager with a school administrator rather than federal regulations) it's one of those films where a remake may actually be topical enough to fathom.

[I. Hustle]

You're dead to me, Hustle.

Listen SFIE, I know... Summer School is a favorite of mine too. The thing is if they are going to remake any movie why not remake a movie like that one? It could be kick ass. It really could be.


I think I am going to open up a theater that shows nothing but all those cool older movies. All I would need is one or two screens and I could make a ton of dough off of nostalgia. I would even do a dress up in 80's or 90's night and get free popcorn and neon colored sunglasses.

Who cares? Y'all really think it can get any worse? :lol

I've never seen Dirty Dancing, so........

One movie I wish they'd redo, or just've done better the first time, is The Cell. JLo and Vaughan made that movie unbearable at times.

The commercials for this one actually look fairly amusing.

Yeah, I wish they'd cast someone other than Lopez, but they got about as much out of that horrible script as they were ever going to. In the director's commentary and DVD special features, it's pretty clear that everyone working on the film thought it was crap (aside from JLo, who seemed convinced she was making a masterpiece) and were just in it for Tarsem's visuals. I can't imagine how boring a read the script must have been without them.

Ultimately, it made him enough money to finance The Fall, which is one of my favorite recent films, so I'm totally fine with it.

That was a good one. I didn't even know he was in it until he popped up on screen. Very dark movie.

That's a shame they didn't put enough time or effort or whatever it was that made them not do it right the first time.

The Fall? Do tell.

[CuckingFunt]

That's a shame they didn't put enough time or effort or whatever it was that made them not do it right the first time.

I think a lot of it probably just had to do with the studio and the director wanting to make two different movies. To my understanding (and I'm FAR from claiming ultimate knowledge, here), Tarsem thought the serial killer/procedural part was boring and poorly written and should, therefore, be largely dropped or re-written. The studio, however, really wanted the film to be a fairly straightforward police procedural and only gave him free reign creatively if the dream stuff was in service of the serial killer plot. Kind of thing that happens pretty frequently.


The Fall? Do tell.

http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/the-fall/trailer

I probably know as many people who hated this movie as I do people who loved it, so it's a recommendation made with the full knowledge that the movie isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if the trailer looks interesting I suggest checking it out. It's similar to The Cell in the sense that its structure includes a mixing of a fairly simple real world story and a completely over-the-top fantasy narrative, but it is far more successful in both areas.

[TDMVPDPOY]

imo movies where great actors who have passed away should not be remade, they should leave it alone for the viewers to remember that actors greatest work and remember in time

[ididnotnothat]

Never been a fan of remakes of movies I've already seen. Seeing the movie for the first time and not having the original to compare it to would more easily allow my judgement to like the remake. Otherwise I've liked the original much more.

[DMC]

Fast Times

or

Breakfast Club

[mFFL03]

Will nobody take a shot at a Sweathogs movie? Or is John Revolting too old?

Ridley Scott Ready To Direct New Version Of Seminal Sci-Fi Film 'Blade Runner' (http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/ridley-scott-ready-to-direct-new-version-of-seminal-sci-fi-film-blade-runner/)
By MIKE FLEMING (http://www.deadline.com/new-york/) | Thursday August 18, 2011 @ 11:39am EDTTags:
EXCLUSIVE: After revisiting his classic Alien with the upcoming 3D Fox film Prometheus, Ridley Scott is committing to direct and produce a film that advances his other seminal and groundbreaking science fiction film. Scott has signed on to direct and produce a new installment of Blade Runner. He’ll make the film with Alcon Entertainment, producing with Alcon partners Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. This would be the most high profile project for Alcon since The Blind Side. They got control of the franchise earlier this year, but it's a whole different ballgame with Scott at the helm.

...wow.

...wow.

I know. Not sure where I'll end up at but right now, I'm thinking WTF.

[Monostradamus]

They really oughta remake Blade Runner tbh. Okay movie but the book was so much better. A more faithful adaptation would be incredible.

This sequel shit sounds retarded tho.

I think one of the things about Blade Runner that makes it so classic is what they were able to do SFX-wise for that decade. Sure, it's cheesy 80's nonsense, but it's well-done nonsense.

Never read the book, though, so you may have a point there.

[rr2418]

My remakes would be:

1. Capricorn One

2. Creature from the Black Lagoon

3. Tora! Tora! Tora! - I know "Pearl Harbor" hit the screens several years ago, but I'm talking about the 1970 American/Japanese movie.

[DPG21920]

Anyone see Fright Night yet?

[DPG21920]

Just saw Fright Night and I really liked it.

Universal Planning ‘Scarface’ Remake

Universal is planning to produce a new ‘Scarface’ film, but the movie won’t be a direct remake of the original 1932 film or the famous 1983 Al Pacino film. Learn more in our report.



http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Universal-Scarface-Remake.jpg
Whoever said “crime doesn’t pay” has obviously never spent time in a Hollywood board room. From heist flicks to mob epics, criminals have provided fodder for studio executives dating back to the days of silent film, and that hasn’t changed one bit in the new millennium.
Case in point, a new report reveals that Universal is planning to remake Scarface (http://screenrant.com/tag/scarface/), a film that’s already been made twice before — first in 1932 and again in 1983.

As The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/scarface-update-being-developed-by-238762) explains, however, this new Scarface won’t be a direct remake of the original film, or the more famous 1983 version, which starred Al Pacino (http://screenrant.com/scarface-remake-universal-robf-132906/#)​ as the infamous Tony Montana. Quoting the article,
Each [of the previous films] were crime sagas telling the rise and fall of a gangster, and each was a mirror of their time. The 1932 version was set in Chicago and featured bootlegging, Italians and Irish mobsters. The 1983 version was set in Latin-loving Miami and cocaine was the vice of choice.
The new Scarface is planned to be the same: a crime tale set in today’s world, offering a dark look at the American Dream.
Despite being a modern take on the story, the new movie will have some familiar producers including Martin Bregman, who produced the 1983 Brian DePalma film, and Marc Shmuger (http://screenrant.com/scarface-remake-universal-robf-132906/#)​, former head of Universal.
The reason that the 1983 Scarface has been popular for so long, besides the fact that the film and its over-the-top lead character have become important cultural touchstones for the hip-hop community, is that it tells a fairly basic story. As the THR article stated, Scarface is about the dark side of the American Dream and that narrative still resonates today.
http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Friend-Scarface.jpg
Very few people will tell you that they’re not interested in becoming rich and successful, particularly in America where “rags to riches” stories are a vital part of our collective culture. The question is, what are you willing to do to get there? Would you break the rules? Would you steal? Or cheat? Or kill?
Hopefully, the answer is no, but there are always people out there who will say yes, and that deviation from the norm is what makes them compelling characters on the big screen. Tony Montana is a terrible role model, but he’s one of the most famous movie characters of all time. People will probably complain about Hollywood’s lack of creativity in redoing Scarface yet again, but if Universal has the potential to give the world another character like that, can you blame them for trying?
What do you think of a new Scarface film for a new generation of Americans?

[CubanSucks]

just like King Kong. 3 versions around the same eras. But at least Peter Jackson did the third and blew the first 2 out of the water. Didn't see who was gonna be directing this one

:lmao exactly. It's only popular because black people are in LOVE with it for whatever reason

According to one's own taste, but I reckon 100 years from now the original 1933 King Kong will still be revered as a charming and entertaining cinematic milestone, while Jackson's overwrought, overblown CGI wank-fest will be utterly forgotten.


Peckinpah appears to be the target of the remake hounds, as a remake of Straw Dogs is in the can and I've heard that Tony Scott of all people is supposed to remake The Wild Bunch.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I hope they use that dreamy werewolf guy in the new scarface.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Speaking of remakes it looks like they're just replacing the detective and that hacker chick in ''the girl with the dragon tattoo'' with daniel craig.

[TDMVPDPOY]

man i missed the mass number of movies made b4 1995...low budget films that were actually very good and could give some movies today a run for their money...

the choices available to watch was also good, now today u got jackshit from a selective few cause companys heavily invest into single works hoping to bank on it...

wattabout the novels you read in school that was produce to the sceen, good times skipping the book and just watch the video instead and writing a review is faster then wasting ur time reading....
