Why oh why does this need to be remade.

Here are the links to Bloody Disgusting and AICN talking about this.

Does this film need to be remade?

Blu-Malibu2009 · 06-29-2009, 04:49 AM

Another remake of a classic?

OrlandoEastwood · 06-29-2009, 05:19 AM

For the LOVE OF GOD! I MEAN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! This needs to stop! At all costs! NO!

I'm surprised John Landis would green light this, what's next The Blues Brothers or Trading Places?! Stop Hollywood,stop!

Offender_Mullet · 06-30-2009, 05:18 AM

Forget all other news, THIS is the travesty of the year so far. This is one of my favorite movies. Why oh why oh whyyyyy are they re-making it!?!?!?!?!?!!!

Just saw the article and I am not holding out hopes for this now at all. Some of the modern horror remakes have been quite good (F13) and some bad (NOES). This is going to fall into the bad column now for sure.

I think it could be fun in the right hands.Always thought the werewolf in that movie looked fake and stupid.I love the movie,but not the effects.Real dated now.

Offender_Mullet · 08-06-2010, 02:13 PM

Mahatma, I'll take that over a cgi werewolf anytime.

koontz1973, Yeah tell me about it man. This is so disappointing. Apparently they didn't learn anything from the Werewolf In Paris *shudders in disgust* atrocity.

Please do not remind me of that film. I am still trying to block it out.

Can understand what you mean.I'll take any effect over CGI any day,but think I'll give it a shot if it materialize

I can't believe this garbage!!! Where would you even begin to start remaking this. The original is a classic and holds up very well, even today. It's hilarious!!! Nothing could even come close to topping it...EVER!

dg5150 · 08-07-2010, 01:52 AM

Why does it suprise anyone? 3/4 of tv is reality, 1/2 of the movies are remakes. There is no originality or creativity anymore.

DaleDark · 08-07-2010, 02:43 AM

When it comes to remakes, we're are own worst enemies. If film goers (myself included) had gathered in mass and had slayed Michael Bay back in '02 when he decided to get Platinum Dunes in the Horror remake business, things might be different. Unfortunatly, we didn't, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre made a nice profit (and was a pretty decent movie to be fair), followed closely by the even better (both quality and profitability) remake of Dawn of The Dead, and studios realised there was a market for remaking classic horror films. Unlike the J-Horror remake craze of the early 2000's, the classic horror remakes have continued to be profitable, and untill they stop being profitable, none of our beloved films are safe.

Anyone wanna bet against seeing remakes of:

Gremlins
Scanners
Poltergeist
Child's Play
Killer Klowns From Outerspace
Fright Night
Re-Animator
Dead Alive
Return of The Living Dead
Evil Dead
?
(If any of these are already on the fast track to remake mediocrity, chalk it up to intentional ignorance).

As far as I know the ones in bold above are in some form of production.

The new F13 was good right up untill the first group of kids got killed. AWWIL is a classic and we all know they will use the crap out of CGI and will turn it into the steaming pile of $hit that was AWWIP
