Hollywood Re-Makes

[laramie]

Is anyone else sick and tired of Hollywood taking awesome movies and re-making them? I am a total film buff and it is just so sickaning to me. Mostly it seems that Hollywood takes classic horror films from the 70's and 80's, re-makes and totally ruins them. I heard the other day that they are re-making "Dirty Dancing". What a crock! Am I alone here? This should be stopped!!!

This should be stopped!!!

This made me laugh out loud! As if!!!

But I do agree with you. I LOVE John Wayne, and it really pained me to think of another actor playing his part in True Grit. I wouldn't go see it.

I'll tell you one thing Yvonne, if Hollywood ever tries to re-make "Gone with the Wind", Holy Crap S@#$ will hit the fan!! There are just some movies that you do not touch!! Can I get an Amen!

 

[terryo]

Amen!! They totally ruined "An Affair to Remember". Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.....ridiculous!

Who needed a Willy Wonka remake? Nobody beats Gene Wilder.

If they did a decent job on remaking them I would like it, but right now I can't think of one remake or TV series made into a movie I like. I know they are doing a remake of red dawn ( one of my favorites) and I know it is just gonna be awful, just awful.

The Willy Wonka remake was creepy. I can't think of one I liked off the top of my head.

Forget even touching 'An Affair to Remember', and a remake of 'Dirty Dancing'? Where are they going to find a Dad like Jerry Orbach? Come on!
They better not even think about ' The Big Chill'!

jerry orbach was a classy actor, to bad he died.

 

[lynnedit]

Yep, loved his 'Lumiere' part in 'Beauty and the Beast', the guy could sing too! One of my favs.

Would be better with Will Farrel over Colin Farrel.

Remakes usually suck, but are profitable. Less money for scripts and development, better chances for tie ins (toys, branding, etc.), and usually more overseas money.

You said it Robert! Gene Wilder made that movie and then to make an uber creepy re-make. I know that the re-make was based off of the original book, but still. Gene Wilder was the man in that movie!
