5 Upcoming Remakes of 80s Movies (That Must be Stopped)

According to this article, there five 80s movies that are being remade:

Red Dawn
Weird Science
The Karate Kid
Friday The 13th
Top Gun

I'm not a big fan of remakes. The movies are just fine on their own and should be better left unmolested.

But I'm especially aghast at the fact that Will Smith wants to remake the Karate Kid and put his son in the lead role.

Come on man, you can do better than that. There's plenty of material out there that can make good new movies. Stop regurgitating things just because you have no talent. there's fresh talent out there that can make good movies. Somewhere.

The trailer for Friday the 13th is already out, seen it and it looks like fun.

Others I'm not bothered about and wouldn't bother seeing anyway.

Conan actually seems like a good idea to me. Conan's story pre-dates the movie so, i'm cool with another interpretation that offers good acting and quality effects.

I've seen Karate Kid, but not Weird Science. Heard Weird Science is awful and one of his weakest films.

I used to be in the "I hate remakes" crowd at one point in time, but now I realize that there is nothing wrong with remakes. You have to keep in mind that no matter how terrible a remake is, no one can force you to watch it and the original will still be sitting there on your DVD shelf for you. Remakes are no more harmful to a film than a sequel.

You can add The Warriors to that list. Good ol' Hollywood loves beating stories to death.

Red Dawn: I hope they keep a similar format, just ordinary small-town people fighting as rebels. Though instead of the Russians and Cubans invading mainland America/being the bad-guys, I'd like to see it be the Canadians and Mexicans.

Weird Science: Can't see this being any good, no matter what.

Karate Kid: They'll probably have Daniel doing MMA instead of just Karate, as that's what is popular now. Will be complete shit.

Friday 13th: Should not be redone, nor should they do a Jason XI, this franchise needs to rest.

Top Gun: They should do away with the latent homosexuality of the original and just have Maverick and Iceman be openly gay bitter rivals with one serious sexual frustration issue.

The only continuation I'm ever going to go see is the obvious (Batman etc), or Alien.

Simply because I never get tired of those movies. Barring the abominations that were Alien Resurrection and Versus Predator.

I really feel sorry for the writers who are probably churning out excellent original material but will never get it made because the film studios are too busy wanting rewrites of films that were utter crap but are loved because they had a cheesiness about them

and seriously...Karate Kid without Mr Miyagi???...please

If they're making a Top Gun remike, it'll be composed of FAIL due to no F-14 Tomcats.
