I wish this thread was a joke, but unfortunately, here are the most ridiculous (imo) remakes coming out next year.

1. The 39 Steps - one of my favorite hitchcock movies. and we all know how wonderfully the psycho remake turned out. there's a reason you dont remake hitchcock, its because he got it right the first time. (unless you're hitchcock and remake your own movie: The Man Who knew too much).
2. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - yes, the classic is being plundered.
3. The Evil Dead - with ashton kutcher, i mentioned this one before, and am still praying its a joke and a punkd deal, not a real one.
4. The Fly - yeap. another plundering.
5. Foxy Brown - yeap, that foxy brown. halle berry in talks to play the lead.
6. Oldboy - the movie i reviewed earlier. whether it be 1920 or 2004, hollywood knows a remake when they see it. i.e. anything.
7. Revenge of the Nerds - in the words of nancy kerrigan... why? why? why? whyyyy?? there's plenty of teen-sex comedies to be made, why remake this one?
8. Any horror movie made in japan over the last 3 years. ANY. they're all coming here.

Talked with several friends about remakes and found some of our favorite movies were remakes that we didnt even realize. why was this? because the original was flawed. the original was a great idea that just wasnt executed quite right. the remake... got it right. THAT'S how you do a remake. not take something that got it right the first time and try and capture lightening in a bottle twice.

peace
