Enough with the remakes!!!

Watching the Final Four and I just saw a trailer for a new version of Nightmare On Elm Street.

Puh-leeeze! Doesn't anyone in Hollywood have an original idea anymore? No wonder I run to Asian cinema.

The worst part? It's a Michael Bay film.

Oh great!

Freddy with explosions and pyro...

its simple - remakes are safer films to make because there is a built in audience. I am with you though - enough with the remakes!

I understand the logic behind making remakes but that doesn't mean I like it. Geez, why aren't they remaking Hostel? Hell, it's over 5 years old...

Sometimes I actually like the remake moreso than the original. Not always.

But many remakes are some of my favorite movies:

Freaky Friday (way better than the original)
Parent Trap (way better)
Gone in 60 Seconds


etc.

Yeah, my family went and saw the new Clash of The Titans while I was at work. My wife said it was crapola

Even they're not safe. For a while Hollywood was "remaking" Asian movies by the buttload. (i.e. "The Ring," "the Grudge," "Dark Water," etc.) Though thankfully the trend seems to have died off in recent years...

I am looking forward to the new Clash of the Titans. Having just watched the original the other day, with all its charms, I'm very curious to see the big budget version.

I took my daughter to see 'Alice In Wonderland' and what do I see, a trailer for 'The Karate Kid'

I'm stoked to see that one bro!!!

Hell, remake them all! Remake everything under the sun for all I care. Remake Gone With the Wind. Remake The Godfather. Remake Plan 9 From Outer Space.

A remake of the remake of The Thing is the most dreaded thing they're doing now.

I read that it might be a prequal. I would kind of want to see that.

I don't know that could go either way.


Let's remember "The Fog" was actually better than the original.

ME TOO DUDE!!! The Thing RULES!!!





Now THAT'S the kind of horror I like now!!! Right there. The gore is limited, and only a realistic by-product. Not the focus of the entire movie!!!

See, I actually like gore.

But only when it's done right.

I don't mind remakes, they usually decent films. Films like Gone In 60 Seconds aren't bad.

Well, the first two are classics. Maybe #3 will be, too?

Never cared for Nightmare on Elm Street so it doesn't bother me if the remake it or not.
Not a fan of those type of movies!

NOOO!!!!!

Honestly, I think Nightmare on Elm Street isn't all that great anyway, but with Michael Bay directing it it'll probably be even worse. Transformers 2 is by far one of the worst pieces of shite I have ever seen. It should be a criminal offense to makes movies that are that terrible.

Next they will do a remake of Siolent Green...
