Hollywood needs some new ideas
So to me a remake of John Carpenter's 1980 flick, The Fog, which starred Jamie Lee Curtis and her mother Janet Leigh would be worthy of making. So when the news was announced that Carpenter might be revisiting the story, I was actually excited! Read on for the scooparooni...
Moviehole writes, "I've had a couple of reliable scoopers tell me that John Carpenter is toying with the idea of remaking The Fog, his 1980 movie about a ship full of dead crewmen on the revenge tear. The remake would again centre on the town of Antonio Bay, which is preparing for its centenary celebrations. 100 years before, the Elizabeth Dane ship, lost in a substantial bank of fog, crashed on the rocks at Spivey Point, misdirected by a campfire intended to ground the vessel, now there?s evidence that the livid dead crew aboard are on their way back with retribution scrawled on their to-do lists.
No Word on whether original star Jamie Lee Curtis would be involved. It's one of a few projects on the table over at Camp Carpenter."
UPDATE:
Just a reminder that Creature Corner broke the Fog remake scoop last summer of 2002 (http://www.creature-corner.com/news2/aug30thefog.php3), and since then not much more is going on with it. They've done a number of updates on the project and what essentially is happening is this: Debra and John wanted to do an updated remake/sequel, they shopped their idea to various production companies, but no one is biting at the idea.

there are plenty of original idea's out there. Unfortunatley only typical,trendy idea's are ever embraced. Hollywood is scared to take risks. They dont want to lose there grasp around america's neck,

now a days no one likes movies with logic. all they need to watch is pure gore. i actually enjoy logic instead of gore. but sometimes gore is necessary.

Hollywood is definately in need of new ideas, however, that is easier said then done since almost everything has been done by now.

there are a great many ideas to be had. I dont think hollywood has any imagination left in them at all. Maybe they'll start releasing ameteur videos (sundance film festival kindof stuff). Not to mention there are only a handful of good directors left these days. wish there were more superbly talented up-and-coming directors. Its a grim but not so grim situation

The fact that no one is having them should prove to you that they are harder and harder to come up with (creative ideas). That shouldn't suggest that they AREN'T there at all, there are definately new ideas to be had always, but they are becoming more and more difficult to come by.

Surely not ALL of the good ideas have been used---there would be far more classics than we currently have.

There are always new ideas out there, and Hollywood does use them, but then they become cliche, just like everything else (The Matrix is a perfect example)

Matrix sucks, it's a combination of 1984, terminator, romeo and juliet and the bible. The only unique thing it did was that bullet time, which the series is now relying on to keep the action sequences fresh.
Matrix was not unique people, just steals ideas from the bible
