Well they ed up Nightmare on Elm Street...and now they're planning on ing up An American Werewolf in London...has Hollywood lost all original thought...
IMHO, "IT" and "THEY LIVE" should NOT be remade
And why a remake of " American werewolf in London? "; I thought " American Werewolf in Paris " was a remake

"They Live" was a classic; and that 6 minute fight scene was epic
Just the thought of remaking it is sacrilege
Hollywood ran out of ideas like 10 years ago.
That's why if you're gonna go to the movies it makes sense to support original screenplays that aren't part of a franchise or sequel.
People pay money to see these in remakes so its like reality tv. The money is guaranteed so it will never stop.
I heard they are gonna remake the in Monster Squad soon too...

A remake of American Werewolf in London? Noooooooooooooooooo! Leave that masterpiece alone. F U Hollywood!
Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite horror-thrillers, and absolutely does not need to be remade. Same with Suspiria.
Remaking any Roman Polanski film is an exercise in futility.
I never get why parents just dont rent the original, watch it on their 50 inch LCD flat screen in HD, and have movie night at home with their kids.
"But daaaad, I wanna watch the A-Team movie"
Quit being so dramatic about horror movie remakes. Most of the originals sucked anyways. It's not like they're remaking The Godfather or 12 Angry Men or some other classic
lol wut?
I don't think remakes are always a bad idea. Stuff like Quarantine might be an inferior knock-off, but it expands the audience of the original to those who would have never seen it. I can almost see why a remake of Suspiria might do the same for Argento movies, but wouldn't want to see classics like Rosemary's Baby or The Shining cheapened (too late for The Shining though).
Originally a novel.
And a play.
I've given up being outraged by the concept of remakes. Felt like a lot of wasted energy when it's essentially been part of the entertainment business for as long as there's been an entertainment business. Sequels, prequels, adaptations, covers, revivals, remakes, whatever; been going on forever. At this point, I'd rather watch a million good remakes than crappy original ideas.
That being said, some of the remakes in that lineup are bat re ed. Too many there with vocal, nerdy, cult followings -- new audiences aren't going to have any interest in Suspiria, and the Argento followers would consider it sacrilege to see a remake. Same with They Live, An American Werewolf in London, Evil Dead, and even The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I'd be surprised if anything there had more than one (or two, if they actually were able to land Portman or other big names) big weekend before disappearing.
I can't remember the last time I've even wanted to watch a remake. If I've seen the original changing actors doesn't matter.
Anyone going to watch the Predators?
no...
Even the original one sucked
The original is an Arnold classic and one one of his best.
To each is own
I'm not talking about adapting from novels and plays. Just making movies from past movies that already had it right. And in the case of MOST horrors, they never had "it" right
Anyone who doesn't like the original Predator needs to have their balls removed..if they have any. And the new one looks absolutely re ed. A bunch of scrawny pieces of and a woman
I remember watching Creature Feature in my younger days and Bela Lugosi, Boris Karlov and Vincent Price were awesome. Those are some of the best, IMO.
What are you twelve...that movie was awesome for what it was...
To each his own
If you liked it, good for you
The upcoming predator movie is not a remake, more of a sequel/reimaging akin to terminator 4
