It is a remake of the Burt Reynolds sports-flick of the same name. Adam Sandler will play Reynold's role, and rapper Nelly will also be in it. Also in it; WWE's Goldberg, Steve Austin, Kevin Nash and Chris Rock. For what is worth, the original was an attempt at a serious/comedy movie. Reynolds will appear in it as a coach. I wonder how the remake will go over with the PC crowd today and the social issues of blacks in prison. Can't wait for Jesse Jackson or Danny Glover's comments on it. :( note: some jokes about 'The Waterboy' being assaulted in prison are omitted from this message. :) The Longest Yard is in pre-production.

Even so, those weren't just good remakes; they were classics. How many classic remakes are coming out of Hollywood these days?

That's hours of my life I'm never getting back. As for remaking The Ten Commandments, what can I say? Cecil B. DeMille must be rolling in his grave right now. Anyone who would even consider remaking one of his movies should be given a drug test. For starters, can you even imagine what a DeMille movie would cost to make today? Plus, who would the studio choose to star in it? Brad Pitt? Jake Gyllenhaal? Or how about a Ben Hur remake, starring Jack Black? Let's hope this ridiculous idea (and its ilk) never makes it off the drawing board.
