Quoted from BillyPilgrim:

Last remake was in 2011.

That was a prequel

This is of course dumb because it can't be done better. I'd toss the idea away and say it will never be made (we all remember that Gerrad Butler Escape from New York eh?) but since it's blumhouse they'll pump out a little piece of shit right quick.

I mean, I do give them credit for making a horror movie version of Fantasy Island

Quoted from BillyPilgrim:

Hmm. Didn’t know that, never saw it. I always thought it was a remake of Carpenters.

It was actually quite interesting and worth a look if you're a fan of Carpenters. Effects weren't great as it was a little lower key flick but it didn't embarrass itself.

Quoted from Methos:

... Fast pacing, tight dialog, strong characterization, etc. Carpenter's is a perfect film....

Sure sure, we all have film degrees and understand Carpenters' is a classic

Quoted from Methos:

Nevertheless, it's a great film, easily his best.

Yet his worst musical score

Quoted from rolandthoms:

Not Carpenters musical score. Ennio Morricone. And I disagree fully. The music from the Thing is part of what makes it a masterpiece.

Not too quick on the uptake are you?

Quoted from hAbO:

I think the reason some of the remakes/reboots that don't do well like Nightmare on Elm Street is ...

Uff man that thing was a dirty dog.

Evil Dead wasn't bad, but for sure on most of them they are just fodder to make some quick bucks.

Quoted from chad:

I kinda expect The Fly to be done again. I think 1986 with Jeff Goldblum was descent.

Perfect example, if they remade that now could you get someone as talented with such a vision like Chronenberg? Would they even be allowed to?

Quoted from Methos:

The Fog remake was a piece of shit, lucky that is all they have remade of his films outside of the Halloween franchise.

Best to forget aboot Assault On Precinct 13

Quoted from Methos:

Damn, I forgot about that one.

No reason to remember it that's for sure.

THE WARD (direct to video/streaming)...

The Ward was a theatrical release.

Ugh Dune was the worst movie ever made.

Blaspheme!

Quoted from fosaisu:

Clearly you never saw Congo. Or Circle of Friends.

Hmmm...I'm going with "Burnt" on this one.

Sure sure, and then there's the breathing thing etc etc.

Whole point of an ambiguous ending is that no one knows, not even the people that made it. Even if they say they they do, it doesn't matter; like Blade Runner.

Quoted from xsvtoys:

Now they are supposedly remaking Scarface

Hopefully they can make Scarface not as horrible as the DePalma version. I mean really, honestly, that movie is so horrible. Funny as shit though that's for sure.

Quoted from xsvtoys:

Dune (84) is a special case, an outlier. Most people that are into the books did not like it, or actually despise it.

Uff is there anything worse for film than "Bookers?" Those people are the fucking worst no matter what movie, what genre, whatever time period.
