Most importantly The Grey was a bit of a dud!

True it is a pointless remake , but that's Hollywood for ya , already talks of making train to Busa remake ...when is this silly nonsense going to stop ?
I agree there is always going to be remakes and odd one or two I don't mind and some turn out pretty good and decent .. But it seems like just about every film in existence is getting a remake or a TV spin off . saying that a lot of TV spin of turn out watchable .
Its the other way round turning TV shows into films that tend to be awful.

It's all your fault gag.

If you didn't post this endless stream of links then we wouldn't know about these films therefore would show no interest in seeing them.

Well sorry to disappoint you again .

Maniac cop remake going ahead

Nicholas Winding Refn's MANIAC COP Remake Finally Green Lit - Horror Movie News and Reviews

Nerdly » First look at video nasty remake ‘Unhinged’

Susan Foreman posted about it in the 88 Films thread:

Clearly I missed it or didn't read it :whip:

If anyone else missed it because they don't visit the 88 Films thread but look at this one, they know about it now!

Too late again gag. Susan's already posted about this in the Carpenter thread.

For **** sake that Susan :axekiller: well it good for a women to beat me instead me being first I'll come second for a change :rolleyes:

go to bed gag you got work Monday...

I've been a nighthawk and insomniac for years why change now .
And I'm watching a film as well. Don't hang up ,
I give my opinion when its finished

At the cinema today before Life, I remember the trailers for these films making them memorable:

Baby Driver (Edgar Wright)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2z857RSfhk

Free Fire (Ben Wheatley)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_yyIfhhR8I

The Belko Experiment (James Gunn)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP2Ow2CX6OQ

Had a chance to see the Wheatley in Feb ....with a wee q&a attached. :whip:
Am too lazy sometimes ...:nod:

I was going to post the trailer, but then I thought 'No, let Gag have this one'

I was going to post it but I'm a day late :lol:

What did everyone thing of the IT trailer? I think it looks pretty good and Pennywise looks scary, particularly the scene with Georgie in the cellar.

Does it look to you all like they have transposed it from the 50's to the 70s/80s and that the 'Grown-ups' part might be in modern day rather than 1985?

I think it looks really good, I'm a big fan of the TV adaptation, and was worried that Tim Curry left some big shoes (no clown pun intended) to fill, but I've got a feeling that Bill Skarsgård is going to be good as Pennywise :nod:

The kids part is supposed to be 1989, so the next part will be modern day

i'm quite excited for this

Apparently the 'Blood Feast' remake is having trouble with the MPAA

It seems that it has been submitted on 3 occasions, and has been refused an 'R' rating every time

MPAA vs. Blood Feast Round 3: Still Too Gory for R Rating; Heading Back for Round 4

At 4th attempt, it has been granted an 'R' rating

No idea what has been removed, however, but according to the distributor, only 'minor changes' have been made

Looks good, but would be happier with ron perlman

Guessing Stephen King is in vogue after the success of It.
Maybe remake some stuff that wasn't great to begin with? The original Pet Sematary was pretty good, so not sure what else they could do?

They could always make something of King's that hasn't been filmed before.

Perhaps not condense 7 million pages of Dark Tower into 90 minutes though... :skull:

Once more, only a link...

Why not add a few lines... what you think about it... how you feel about it... why you posted it in the first place...

To be blunt, posting only a link is quite superficial and trivial. It increases one's number of posts (and possibly the number of likes as well), but apart from that - is it really necessary...

---

With regards to the thread's topic, I generally think that it is quite disappointing to see so many remakes of classic films and less and less imaginative new productions.

:lol:

The original link gave nothing away - https://pagesix.com/2017/10/31/bette...26579f881108d6

At least I took the time to note what it was, so that people could make up their own minds whether they looked at it or not

This thread is about remakes, and the story concerns a remake, therefore it is justified in putting it here

The same could be said about the constant complaints that are made! :tongue1:

I appreciate you adding text to give the link context, but it would be even better – and this goes for everyone – if you could put the first paragraph (or few paragraphs, if not the whole article) to make clicking on the link even more optional and say if you have any feelings about the proposed remake. At least that way there can be a discussion about the project, not the post.

I haven't seen Hocus Pocus – I'm not sure why – so I am ambivalent about remaking it. I can understand why those who were involved in the original film of consider it a childhood favourite the less than enthused about the idea of remaking something they hold dear.

I’ll say that they Hocus Pocus remake gets the same reaction from ne as the Beaches and Dirty Dancing remakes......[emoji90]

[emoji23]

I'm quite amazed that the remake frenzy is still carrying on unabated. I would have thought they'd be running out of classic horrors to be remade. It won't be long before they start remaking the remakes....
