Don't you understand every movie becomes an untouchable masterpiece whenever a remake is suggested?

Still you have to get a little angry when Hollywood casts Jayden Smith in a remake of the "Karate Kid" directed by Will Smith.

I disagree.  I was looking forward to the American version of Godzilla even though I love the original. Especially after they said they were studying the original pre-Raymond Burr version and that great "Jurrasic Park" trailer.

But, instead of getting a good high-tech version they tried to make a freaking comedy out of it.

On the other hand, I was VERY nervous about the remake of Mighty Joe Young.  Thought it was going to be a god-awful joke like the '70s version of King Kong.  And as much as I wish they had made it more for adults than kid-friendly, I enjoyed that movie very much.

He's too young for that!!!!

Jeez, if Will Smith wants to get someone in the family a real movie career why doesn't he try the wife?

No, I really don't.

I liked Karate Kid when I was a kid but I assume it's really dated now and a remake would make the story fresh for a new audience.  Even if I still liked Karate Kid and the remake wasn't good it wouldn't 'ruin' the original it'd make me appreciate it more.

At least he's branching out into kung fu and not keeping it karate. I still think at best it's unneccessary.

What they SHOULD make is something that is relevant and trendy NOW. A kid learns to become a WIRE-FU operator.

[ManUnderMask]

It's like The Punisher. If I want to talk about The Punisher, I want to talk about the cheesy Dolph Lundgren movie, not the cheesy John Travolta movie. Now I have to explain which cheesy movie I'm talking about.

Just don't talk about Punisher: Warzone. Just... don't.

Hey! There's no fear in this thread!

I've been hearing rumors of a Clash of the Titans re-make.

I've been hearing rumors of a Clash of the Titans re-make.

It's a "re-imagining".  It will probably be as close to a mythical story as this ABC show "Cupid" is.

[bratpop]

He's a Titan! And she's a Titan! Can they live together without clashing??

Entertainment Weekly is breaking the news about casting for the "Red Dawn" remake.

To EW's credit, it's a nifty slideshow.

So... who's up for a Gilligan's Island remake, in 3-D yet?!

EDIT:  OH MY F^%#^$#&^%! God!  I was only joking but I just got back from IMDB, and there IS an entry for a Gilligan's Island in  2011...

The first pics off the set are up.

And now, to bring this topic back to life, I bring report of the probable death of the remake: http://chud.com/articles/articles/24027/1/WILL-THE-RED-DAWN-EVER-RISE/Page1.html
