this is about as bad as Roland Emmerich doing a movie version of Asimovs Foundation series.

Is there anything they won't make a fucking re-make of?
Is Hollywood absolutely bereft of of producers and script-writers?

There are writers out there
but unless your idea is 'pre-sold' , or stars someone like Adam sandler or jennifer Aniston studios won't bump up more than about $20m budget.
We will probably NEVER see another out of nowhere blockbuster like Indiana Jones or Close Encounters

Oh, I don't know,
Slumdog Millionaire did alright for $15m, Inception was a huge gamble too.

But
didn't they have a well know cast (or director) behind them?

Was about to say District 9
...then remembered that it was produced by Peter Jackson. I'll keep thinking...

Are you by any chance arguing
that the director of both Close Encounters and Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't well known at the time? Or that the lead actor in Indiana Jones was unknown?
Just checking...

i call it a modern remake of an old classic.
This is not for our generation... we still have the original...
this is for the younger lot... let them have their version and stop grumbling about it...
It's not like they are shooting the film over the negatives of the old one.

I still think Russel Brand should die in a fire
after having his entire body rubbed in sandpaper for a week

your welcome to think that
but thinking such things about someone you've never met is a little pathetic...
i dont like him that much.. but rather than fantasising about killing him i just turn off the telly.

It's not a fantasy
I've actually got him tied up in my attic. Just need to find an abandoned house and move him there before I set it alight.
(, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 14:10, Share, Reply)
that's a bit much
I think perhaps he should be locked in the house before it burns, with the only source of loo roll being his worthless books, and the only form of entertainment being his own movies.

seriously
you guys need to get out more... you've got rage issues... testosterone does that if its allowed to build up... go for a run, or maybe fantasise about killing people who deserve it.. like the gays.

I
went to see the original at the cinema when it came out and it was fucking shit then and I highly doubt that the addition of Russell Cunt will make it significantly worse, any more than the addition of genital warts would make ebola significantly worse.

meh....
I saw the trailer the other day and it shifts the focus from the poor woman he wants to marry, to the rich bitch he doesn't want to marry.
It's semingly a pointless change, merely to change SOMETHING, or it's just so the trailer can focus on Ms Garner lots.
But Luis Guzman plays the chauffer which is a good thing

I feel a bit sorry
for kids today. When I was young, my parents didn't understand my music, films, TV shows and fashion. And that was how it should be; they were 'ours' and gave us an identity. But now everything is just a remake. I hear a song on the radio and even if the whole thing isn't just a copy, I will probably know the bass line or melody from way back when. Fashion keeps going full circle; daughters borrow thier mums old clothes; where is the identity and rebellion in that?

Considering that it has Russel Brand
I'm not entirely sure it's main audience is the youth. However, I understand what you are saying about all the remakes. The problem is the good ol' US is full of old people.

About 25% old people. You know the stereotype old people like old crap? It's a big market with lots of $ so companies will pimp the shit out of it.
I apologize if that sounded agist. I'm not. Some of my friends are baby boomers.

Acting like Kenneth Williams with a half Cockney accent seems to get you alot of work these days
