Remakes, Remakes, Remakes!

What the hell happened with the remake of the Italian Job?
The original was a classic with the great chase scenes and Britains greatest ever car in the world. The American Italian Job sucked soo much - anyone enjoy it?
Bad Remake of the Mini hence bad remake of a film.
Surley the film was made as a marketing scam.

Dawn of the dead (2004) is proper classic. Better than the original. Although completely different.

As long as they're remaking so many classics, how about:

Von Ryan's Express
The Great Escape
Beau Geste (because you just can't have too many)
North by Northwest
Revenge of the Nerds

cant wait to see the remake of Assault on Precinct 13. i love that film.

They're remaking The Evil Dead too. *shudders*

Hopefully it will be as hilarious as the first.

I'm excited about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and King Kong. I hadn't heard anything about Transformer, but that should be pretty cool.

Have you guys heard they are remaking "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"? I loved the books but I wasn't a fan of the BBC version so I think they could def. use a remake on this one. My friend just sent me an article from a set visit: http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/569/569887p1.html?fromint=1 Looks pretty cool to me, def. worth checking out...

interesting

Sick of Hollywood stealing and remaking Clasic Original movies?

to be honest its gettin really tedious, theres just too many remakes about. and the recent flop of ' The Grudge' pushed into the same category as ' The Ring '. they take the idea and they ruin it by releasing a disastorous remake. and as for using sarah michelle gellar as the lead in the grudge??? wrong choice or wrong choice?

yes, the grudge was a terrible movie, wasnt it in japanese first?

and sarah michelle gellar cannot act...

yes i ahve the original japanese grudge and it is a ****ing great movie and then greedy producers beleive that doind a remake would bring in some money.

I cannot believe they're considering remaking Evil Dead.

i hear there's going to be a remake of casablanca with j.lo and ben as the lead. that's sounds disasterous. the original was just fine, don't butcher the poor thing! sheesh! also, there was another old movie that was featuring lance bass...can't remember the name though. most of the remakes these days, just butcher the original to death. don't you agree? ^.~ PhOeNiX
Well I can test the validity of that, now can't I?

I now heard that there making a Rosemary's Baby and The Thing miniseries

I have the Japanese version of the Ring, this was better than the 'remake' they'd have been better off releasing and marketing the Japanese version.

exactly, if they brought the original bk to the screen they would most likely make more money than the remake plus it would advertise world cinema to a more widespread audience

as long as the remake is better than the previous one, i could accept that 😇
