areaseven Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 What a bad idea. Most likely going to end up in the same category as the Christmas Story sequels. Wait - there was more than one? Quote
Dynaman Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Wait - there was more than one? Yes, the first one was set during 4th of July and came out a few years after the original. The latest one came out in the last couple years and has the incredibly creative title of "A Christmas Story II". The few online reviews for it say it is terrible. As for the Wonderful LIfe sequel, after reading a summary of the proposed plot I think Beevus and Butthead did it better. Their Christmas Episode is one of the best. (The proposed plot is the Grandson of the originals is a bad person and Zsu Zsu's ghost shows him how much better the world would be without him, the actress who played Zsu Zsu is still alive and will play the ghost) Quote

skullmilitia Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Patrick Swayze Will Haunt Rob Cohen for This How does this guy still get work? Quote
areaseven Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 How does this guy still get work? Tell me about it. I thought Stealth was career suicide for Cohen, but that third Mummy movie actually made money. The dismal performance of Alex Cross (plus a couple of incidents aboard United Airlines caused by the film) should've been enough for him to call it quits. Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Oh jeez! He made stealth? And I thought TFATF , XXX and the third mummy was the worst of it. I was wrong. Quote
PetarB Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 If Rob Cohen's name is on the movie, it usually means I will enjoy it. Should I feel guilty for this? I haven't seen Alex Cross yet though... Quote
Marzan Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 The remake madness never stops. Now it's The Naked Gun. http://variety.com/2013/film/news/ed-helms-firing-up-the-naked-gun-reboot-for-paramount-exclusive-1200950237/ Never mind Leslie Nielsen. The question that's on everyone's lips is who's going to replace the unforgettable O.J Simpson as Nordberg. Quote
Dynaman Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 That is as bad as trying to make a Pink Panther movie without Peter Sellers. The very idea that they made one with Alan Arkin just baffles the mind. Quote
big F Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Never mind Leslie Nielsen. The question that's on everyone's lips is who's going to replace the unforgettable O.J Simpson as Nordberg. But who'd want the role based on what its previous owner did/didnt do. Quote
Dynaman Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Wesley Snipes for sure on that role. On to more Remake Madness, just read that Gilligan's Island is getting a movie. Quote
big F Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Was Wesley Snipes for sure on that role. On to more Remake Madness, just read that Gilligan's Island is getting a movie. Does it need a remake, was the original that good ??? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) District B13 remake in the form of Brick Mansions staring the late Paul Walker and David Belle (from the original); Enjoy! -b. Edited February 13, 2014 by Kanedas Bike Quote
big F Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Could this be his last film ? Looks interesting. Quote

505thAirborne Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 A remake of Point Break...? Hollywood has seriously run out of original or creative ideas. Quote

electric indigo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 District B13 remake in the form of Brick Mansions staring the late Paul Walker and David Belle (from the original); Banlieue 13 was a silly but very entertaining movie with great stunts. I wonder if the remake (or better: US adaption) will include this Quote
big F Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Point Break is a total classic, a remake is wrong on so many levels. Quote
Jefuemon Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 {Insert name of Remake here} is a total classic, a remake is wrong on so many levels. There, fixed it for you. Quote
big F Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 There, fixed it for you. LOL cant we have that as some sort of auto post on this thread ? Quote
areaseven Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Will Smith's production company ruins another film classic. Quote
big F Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 At least she's not ginger, looks ok, the original was all glitzy show and singing so, I guess this one had to be he same. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I made it 22 seconds into that Annie trailer before cringing, how many more times can one remake this? Quote
areaseven Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I really don't understand why the 1982 Annie film needs to be remade. Sure, the critics were not very kind to that film when it first came out, but to everyone who had never seen the original Broadway musical, it has been, and always will be, Annie. The 1999 Disney version may have been favored more by critics, but it has no soul. The issue with this new reboot is not about race, but about adapting it in a present day setting. The 1982 film worked because of the Great Depression backdrop that characterized the "Hard Knock Life" in the orphanage. What will this reboot use - the American recession? Daddy Warbucks' fortunes from supplying weapons to the armed forces made perfect sense; Jamie Foxx's character as a wealthy politician does not. And I'm sorry, but I just don't see Cameron Diaz as the evil Miss Hannigan. Oh yeah - Jay-Z's name is on it. No surprise there. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Re: Annie, honestly why do we care? Most of his here are grown men. I don't have any young children so I have no reason to watch this, if you do then either take your kids and enjoy it thru them or show them the original at home. Speaking on the movie directly I think this would work better as a made for television movie vs. theatrical release but more power to everyone involved with making this remake.

areaseven Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Early this year, someone released a Hercules movie starring some guy from Twilight, and it became one of the biggest flops (US$44 million earnings out of a budget of US$70 million) and worst movies of the decade (3% on Rotten Tomatoes). And now comes the other Hercules movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and directed by Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand, After the Sunset). Quote

And now comes the other Hercules movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and directed by Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand, After the Sunset). I thought they were one in the same film.... Shows how much attension I paid to it. What's with the current Biblical stories doing the rounds? Has Holly Weird decided to plunder that barrel again. Stand by for Ben Hur remakes, and the story of Sparticus, or maybe they'll just rewrite the whole thing. I mean Jesus getting nailed to a tree is a bit harsh, maybe he should just get a telling off from the Romans, be imprisoned where he can promptly escape, whith the help of his crack team of Deciples.

Tking22 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 The Crow is being remade, to me, the entire crew of that production is actively flipping off the Lee family, and Lee legacy. Quote
Dynaman Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I lost the link but Flash Gordon was just picked up again (not Syfy channel, one of the bigger movie studies). Perhaps Flash should get his very own thread? Quote
areaseven Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Well, it's time to go download District 13, as Brick Mansions is yet another remake that misses the point. Quote
big F Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Not so much a remake as a Tv series to move make, though they probably shouldnt anyway. Dad's Army the 1970's comedy about the home guard in the U.K is being made into a film. Now the U.S version was a car crash in comedy, so i can only imagine the film will also be a wreck. Quote
