It's all over the internets film blog communityio9.com/375484/bill-and-teds-completely-unnecessary-remake
Edit: Don't know how official that makes it. But the idea horrifies and sickens me.

I like the idea of mixing fiction with history.Oliver Cromwell having to deal with Ridley Scott's Aliens shortly after the Roundheads conflict.
Now that would be interesting. Although possibly in many many wrong ways.

would be a bit of a one sided battle tho innittho a really incomprehensible hardcore mashup sounds like a quality film

It honestly makes you wonder whether writing and culture has completely diedor whether it is just the warped nostaligic and uninformed view we partake of the past.

it'll get cannedwhen they realise no ad agency will pay to product place in it.
although the guy's idea of a bill and ted three might work if it weren't for keanu's new "no sequels" rule, can't think why he's come up with that

he wasn't in speed 2and i'd say it's since the matrix.
reloaded was good, revolutionsborrowed stole too much from frank herbert, and then had the shittest ending ever (the architect/oracle scene, not the fight, that worked)
he's refused to appear in a constantine 2 amongst other things

Isn't that a bit like remaking Snakes on a Plane?I mean it's not exactly old....or good even. Two of the most basic characteristics of remakes.

I also found it strange that they'd choose to remake it so quicklyFinal and irrevocable proof that Hollywood is officially out of ideas.

i've always been a fan of indie films because the writers tend to have a story to tell, (un)fortunately the big studios haven't latched on to indie film as much as they could have, i know there's fox searchlight and other offshoots of big studios which finance indie films, but considering how cheap most indie films are to make the investment needn't be huge to get a decent return (percentage wise)
10 indie films for the price (or a little over) of one or two "Blockbusters" would easily make the studios the money they want
the problem isthat idiots would watch it, and be like "this is kinda gay" and continue eating hotdogs, waiting for the exploding car chase

so?the studios make their money for less investment and increase their heavy investment in decent story lines.
as long as the "idiots" continue to go (clever trailering would see to that) or buy it on DVD (or even legal download) it's win win

yeah, but they don't see it that waybig stars, big money, big merchandising
they don't give a crap about stories, they are making a movie and if they are making it, it's immediately "GReat!" and everyone gets to make money..
power issues, political motivations, and whoever is in favour, it's all mixed up crap, like anything else
edit: and I might add, anyone in a really cushy position is scared of losing it, along with the supply of coke, hookers and wanabee's who'll do anything

And also, the majority of the 'indie' (and I use the term quite quotationally given that they are not indepentally funded) films back by studiosare vapid nonsense the majority of the time. Their vacuous nature generally only being equalled by the apparant prole's belief said films are highbrow and cultured.

^indeed
and those films aren't going to make the money
and it's about money. certainly art is involved, but the bottom line is the bottom line, ultimately

if you're gonna be a pedant at least spell independently right :Pyeh, indie has become a genre in film as it has in music. i'm not saying that they are automatically highbrow in any way, just that as the writers have more freedom to write the storylines actually exist. or at the very least don't follow the "happily ever after" or "everyone but the hero dies" formula of most blockbusters.
discomeats, i'm not disputing what you've said in either reply, and i know it won't happen, but if the studios paid less for a film and made the same money out of it they'd be happy. but yeh, the people who decide where the money goes don't want to let anyone do that as they'd be scared of losing their cushty lifestyle.

and that's why you'll see formulaic stuff most of the timeif you feeling brave make your movie

i ain't got a movieand the one book i'd seriously think about adapting has already been optioned (7 years ago nearly) and then canned as it deals wit the theme of hijacking planes (chuck palahniuk's survivor)
although with Choke premiering at sundance there's a chance it might be de-shelved :D would love to see it on the screen (if it's done well)
