Even MORE remake madness.......

[taksraven]

Just put out yesterday, Fox is remaking "Romancing the Stone".

Yeah, I can imagine it with either Jessica Simpson or Brittany Murphy doing Kathleen Turners role. Shudder to think who they would want to take Michael Douglas' part.

I am sure that it will be the greatest movie of all time.

oh God next we will have all the films from that era re done. they 'll start with Romancing the stone and eventually make their way to Twins or Beverly hills cop which due to budget will get set in Chicago, and have a white guy playing Eddie Murphys part.

[kanedaestes]

Actually Eddie IS working on a Beverly Hills Cop 4.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Not that they have been totally woefull.

Why don't they reverse the trend and take crap films and remake them as good ones. They could use your avatar, Howard the duck, as a good start.

Am I the only one who thinks that Carpenter's movies did not age well? I don't mind remakes like Siri's Nid de guêpes which takes the concept from Assault on Precinct 13

Well they already remade Assault on Precinct 13. It was good but I though the ending could have used a bit of work.

[electric indigo]

I've seem the "Assault" remake with Ethan Hawke and found it sucked majorly except for the opening sequence where his team is killed. Watch "Nid de guêpes" (engl. title "The Nest") sometime to see how it should be done, you won't be disppointed.

Oh get f'd... remake of the crow? Hollywood go to hell.

Why ruin the first one, it was excellent and second one was good.

Realy what is the point.

May as well do a remake of last nights 10'oclock news it would be about as needed.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Yeah i agree, i loved the second one as well. Trippy.

Ahh it's been so long since i've seen any crow flicks/series, grown out of them honestly with them being all angsty gothic revenge flicks,

but they certainly do NOT need to be re-done, it's overkill. Just how many movies are there now? I know there is atleast 3 series...

Perhaps they did up a comic/mangacomeback story? Eric came back?

Maybe they plan a double up flick with the second story of him coming back or something for.... dum dum duarrrr! "Unfinished Business"....

maybe a trilogy.....

Maybe hollywood will want to re-make Enter the Dragon too?

my guess is with the success of twilight the studios are looking for properties they can get on the cheap to cash in.

Yeah, you're probably right about that. Execs thinking "What gothy sort of stuff do we have available to cash in on this".

The Crow might be TOO dark for a lot of teenage girls though.

I vote for the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, he's a brilliant actor (from the vids) excellent facial expressions. And pure goth.

There are four Crow movies anyone seen the forth one. Saw The Crow: City of Angels again last week, still love it and Mia Kirshner .

More like Exit the Dragon.

Didn't Mortal Kombat rip-off much of the plot of Enter the Dragon? Does that count?

Hopefully.....

that way they'll leave it alone.

Keanu Reeves wants to be a Space Cowboy! Edited December 18, 2008 by Einherjar

[kanedaestes]

Ok ok ok now i feel is the perfect time to mount a calculated strike on all hollywood writers and crappy directors so that i may take their jobs and this bullsh*t

[Mr March]

Naturally I'm very wary of the idea of a Cowboy Bebop adaptation, but I have to know more details before I pass judgment. I want to know if Erwin is really going to produce or if he's just pitching the concept. I want to know who's directing. I want to know who's writing. I want cast details. Once I know that, I'll arrogantly prejudge the film's worth like a good little opinionated net denizen

I will say this much so far: Keanu Reeves as Spike is a horrible idea of noir-like tragedy. There is one man and one man alone in Hollywood who can do Spike justice and that's Sam Rockwell. Cast him as Spike and I'll be convinced this live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop is being taken seriously. If they don't, then that's a big warning sign this film is off to a bad start

[big F]

one good thing will come of it.

Reeve's fame and notoriety will help promote Anime to the masses, there a still far too many people who consider cartoons as something the kids watch.

[electric indigo]

Even more crucial: Who will play Faye?

[taksraven]

Quote from Dark Horizons, thanks to Garth....

Let me share five words with you that will either excite you, or send a chill down your spine - "Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby".

I wonder if they can top putting Robert Redford in a pink suit?

[taksraven]

OK, here we go again. In the category of "Remaking a film that they stuffed up badly last time so you wonder why they are bothering", a category that is already occupied by the Phantom remake, we have.......

Frank Miller Reinvents "Buck Rogers"

Yeah, I watched the reruns of the 70s version of the show. I actually liked it as a kid My thoughts on this matter is this: Will Col.Deering be hot? I loved Erin Grey in that series

[Skull1986]

We'll see if anybody gives Frank Miller a film directing job anytime soon after "The Spirit" opens this Christmas.

Prediction -- the film will BOMB. Badly.

A) It's based on a character/comic book series that's cultish even in comic book circles;

B) Even from the trailers you can see the quality of the film is marginal = IT STINKS; and

C) If you have any knowledge of The Spirit comics it's real obvious this film owes more to Miller's Sin City movie than it does The Spirit. Spirit fans are NOT happy about that at all.

There's been talk of doing a Buck Rogers film before and after the TV show, but that's all it's amounted to.

The property is so old and forgotten by most people that I'm afraid they'd use the late 70's/early 80's TV series as the basis for a new movie... and that show was about as far removed from the old comic strip as the last Flash Gordon movie was from the Flash Gordon comic strips, too.

Ignorance is a big tool that's used to promote and develop mediocre films and TV shows instead of being creative and doing something new, or at least creating a film that tries to honor its source material.

[kanedaestes]

BTW there is a King Of Fighter movie in production just thought you all might want to know.
