I like that the classic universial monsters are coming back but BOF is so classic and there isnt another Karloff. Why not make a sequal to one of the universial monster movies. Staying in the same vain of course. GET Depp to be in some.

If the question of originality was really at stake, the original “Frankenstein” movie wouldn’t have been made (“What? Make a film out of an old book – no!? There are kids out there with original ideas…”).
Actually, I’m more confused by the view expressed here, and in other places, that a re-make has to be a period piece – “like the original”. What period was it set in, exactly? None of the Universal creature features pass muster as “period pieces” because so many elements were contemporary to their production – men in 20thC lounge suits, women with short skirts and Hollywood hairstyles. At best they are set in a sort of never time, and at worst they are plainly modern day (the “Mittel European” countrysides might be faux old, but you get there from modern day America…).
So set remakes in the early twentieth century, or in the present day – it won’t matter – just do it well…

I can understand why they are remaking these classics, they are dated. But like Christopher R. Mohr Sr. said, there are young writers with original ideas out there that are being overlooked.

How about remaking Hollywood into an organization with original ideas? “I’d buy that for a dollar”.

When I see what I think is a perfect film being remade, I can only think that whoever is doing it possesses no creative talent and hopes to tag along on the original film’s coat tails.

When I think of all the great, young creative talent out there who cannot make a film because they cannot get the financing, it is doubly painful to see someone who has the financing spending it on their copycat endeavours.

Re-issue the classic film, spend a few million dollars on the bonus features. Give us a 4 disc directors cut special edtion, Skynet version…
But do not remake this film you bastards…
