All I can say is, its about time! Dont know what the writer of this article is talking about though. This movie holds more relevence today then ever before. The owners of this planet, i.e. the giant corporations and banks, hold all the wealth and make all the important decisions around here. They do it without impunity and without the thought of whats best for humanity as a whole. With that being said a remake comes at a perfect time, I just hope they are able to make it a master piece.

I had a thought about your article but, I kept getting distracted by all of those ads on your site. What was the movie about, again?

dude, what r u people talking about?! this movie couldn't have come into a remake at a more perfect time, with all the BS happening around the world with shadow governments, alien cover ups, ufo sightings, and let alone the one conspiracy that actually is that we REALLY ARE BEING CONTROLLED BY ANOTHER RACE OF BEINGS, exo-politics, come on, this movie is perfect for waking people up to the BS we are all being put through, and that fight scene should definitely be cut in half

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Ok this isn't the greatest movie in the world, but it's one of my favorites! It was perfect as is… and I cringe to think how they'll change the aliens with today's effects. And ok, yes, Roddy Piper isn't the world's best actor, but he did a damn good job. I can't even imagine anyone else playing Nada… but given that, if there really must be a (gag) remake, yeah I could see Bruce in this role… but who would he fight on a badly-disguised gym mat in a back alley? lol

OK, so remaking "They LIve" makes since to me. It'll suck, but the idea makes since.

But, they want to remake "The Thing"? Seriously? Um, has no one told these morons that IT'S ALREADY A REMAKE!! A remake of a remake. That's like making a copy of a copy. This makes less since than making of movie of the Broadway musical version of "The Producers". Oh wait, it already IS a movie.

Carpenter remade "The Thing from Another World" and perfected it. Don't f#$k with perfection.

They Live was a decent film, it made some interesting points, and it would be interesting to see them update the story (aliens controling the internet, cell phones, etc), but Hollywood has to stop these damn remakes.
But, if you are going to do a remake, There's only one guy to play Nada.

Bruce Friggin Campbell!

I'm against this remake (like most) however if it must be done I hope they take it seriously enough to get a good director and a couple of bad ass actors. If they go younger generation with this movie I will be so pissed. And as much as I love him, please for the love of all that is good and holy, do not cast Sam Jackson! hehe

I think a remake would be great for this film. I remember watching this movie for a Communication class I was taking in my senior year. I think a lot of things in this film are more relevant today especially with the amount of advertising we are enduring in our lives. It will be interesting to see if they make it a little MINORITY REPORTish.

I also liked the movie and was one of the few people I know to actually see it in a movie theater and att he time it was released.

Thing is I am kind of torn here, while it could be remade with a better script and talented writers, will they even put that much effort into the project? If they simply grab "insert B-rated movie star here" into the title roles and go cheap on the FX then it will flop harder than a Madonna movie.
