I think someone should found a “Surviving Movie Remakes” Support Group. I surely be a member of that.

The only remake that I liked that comes to my mind is The Fly. Baby, that was loooooong time ago!

Hollywood stop with these remakes.

I think that won’t happen until Lucas is long dead and buried. By then we’ll all have Matrix-style sockets in our skulls for direct video-to-brain access.

When I first heard this I almost drove off the 405 fwy out of the fact that I was pissed and also my front end went out.

Who the frick is going to pay 10 bucks to see this inferior remake. There will only be one version of this film in my heart.

If there going to just do remake after remake, I vote for films that need to be remade, like 2001 a Space Oddessy, or perhaps Star Wars. They both came out during the 70′s isn’t it time for them too.

All remakes are a waste of creativity and ultimatly suck,!

This film will bomb harder than “ghosts of mars”. Also a great remake idea!

I second the motion, Mike V. Not interested in a remake of this movie.

With Gerard Butler off the project, maybe now he could go do “The Black Freighter” for Snyder’s Watchmen.
