Slap shot to be remade - Blu-ray Forum

thedarkangel1975 · 02-18-2009, 04:42 PM

This makes me sad if it happens to be true. i found this in the news and notes on Fox Sports.

Quote:

Boudreau, who appeared as an extra in "Slap Shot," was happy to learn that a studio is planning a remake of the 1977 classic hockey movie. Who should get his old part? "Mickey Rooney," said the coach, apparently all too aware of the resemblance between him and balding movie star. ... The Capitals assigned D Karl Alzner and F Jay Beagle to Hershey of the AHL.

Another remake.

ssmith3046 · 02-18-2009, 05:39 PM

Please...not another remake!

P@t_Mtl · 02-18-2009, 05:42 PM

Oh boy! Poor Hollywood, no more ideas.

I mean remake (or re-imagining as some people like to call them

) have always been done in Hollywood. But in the last decade it's been terrible. You can clearly see a dozen movies a year that are remakes.

When is slap shot coming to bluray?

paperthrower2000 · 02-18-2009, 05:57 PM

"ditto"

rebfandan · 02-18-2009, 06:17 PM

This should very nicely pave the way for a Holy Grail remake starring Jud Apatow's crew! Can good films, especially comedies, not just be left alone?

Remaking Monthy Python & The Holy Grail?

When that day arrives, just keep an eye out for the 4 horsemen, the end is very near.

DavePS3 · 02-18-2009, 06:34 PM

This just in... The film making industry in Hollywood is officially, out of talent.

thedarkangel1975 · 02-18-2009, 07:16 PM

Paul Newman is rolling in his grave right now...

That was by no means an endorsement! But with the rash of pointless remakes going on, it sounds like the s**t that someone in Hollywood would greenlight.

Offender_Mullet · 03-03-2009, 07:13 PM

Oh God please NO. As if Slap Shot 2: Breaking The Ice & Slap Shot 3: The Junior League weren't blasphemy enough.....they're re-making the original?????

thedarkangel1975 is right. For shame. Whoever takes the lead won't hold a candle to Paul Newman in that role.

fighthefutureofhd · 03-03-2009, 07:19 PM

you know at first i thought this was a not safe for work thread about a dirty movie. i've never heard of slap shot i think.

SillyMammo · 03-03-2009, 10:01 PM

I have a friend that will probably hang himself when he hears about this!

blu-mike · 03-04-2009, 06:48 AM

I heard the fright night remake has been shot down

thank god it was gonna be freakin PG13!!!!

smith1921 · 03-04-2009, 08:18 AM

maybe the worst idea ever who ever greenlights this needs to go to the box and feel shame

krazeyeyez · 03-04-2009, 09:15 AM

anyone got a gun? ill buy the bullets! this is one of those classics that should never be remade, as was said the sequels were bad enough.

Ferris · 03-04-2009, 12:15 PM

If they "reimagine" this it can be good. Just PLEASE don't call it "Slap shot"

Plasmachick · 03-04-2009, 06:13 PM

GOOD LORD!! NO!

THAT FILM IS A CLASSIC. DON'T DO IT HOLLYWOOD!

Mr.White · 03-04-2009, 06:19 PM

It's not Slap Shot without Paul Newman,Strother Martin,George Roy Hill and the notorious Hanson Brothers! DONT REMAKE THIS HOLLYWOOD! Does anybody remeber that direct to DVD disaster called Slap Shot 2?,that's a real hint not to remake the tried and true classic from 1977!
