Currently Browsing: "Unnecessary Remakes"

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we avoid getting hit by a volcano. By. That. Much.

Sure, these posters look like they are turning out great, but there’s a noticeable lack of any robotic, gold-plated owls.

Two huge names in acting have signed on to join the Coen Brothers in Indian Territory. So why am I not totally excited?

This guy has the right idea. When your family disappoints you, clean the slate and move on.

We were all blown away by the original and now the U.S. will have a shot at it with Richard Jenkins, Chloe Moretz, and Kodi Smit-Mcphee. But are they headed in the right direction with this cast? You be the judge. That way we don’t have to form an opinion.

We keep an eye on remakes in development so you don’t have to, and there are a lot of them. You might be a major fan of this latest victim of the re-creation machine, but try not to lose your head over it.

For some reason, I get the feeling that Rooster Cogburn will suddenly be attacked by a water-dwelling mammal.

Danny Boyle’s production company is still continuing to develop Judge Dredd. Now, it appears as if an old friend is stopping by to write the damned thing.

Apparently most remakes are unimaginative and add nothing new to the story. So says Bob Weinstein while failing to prove how the upcoming Children of the Corn remake will add anything new.

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we invite Fat Guy Kevin Carr to give his opinion on a truly horrific weekend of bad releases. Also, we talk about the movies that came out.

Literally. The entire film will be Steven Spielberg wrestling an invisible rabbit in his living room.

Let me get this straight. An Asian director is remaking an American director’s movie? And it’s a revenge film?

Neil Burger is being tapped to write the script to bring the rats of NIMH and Mrs. Frisby back to the big screen.

We may have taken for granted that Darren Aronofsky was going to end up being the director for Robocop. It’s likely that he’ll still do it, but a new scheduling problem may make it that much harder to pull off.

Once you’re done being excellent to each other, check out what Bill S. Preston is up to in the 3D horror community.

John Landis has sold remake rights for An American Werewolf In London to the Weinsteins. The worst decision he’s ever made (that didn’t involve helicopters).

Just like you might expect, the authors of the original manga are upset that the production of the 2003 version of Oldboy felt they could sell the rights to anyone they pleased.

Guy Pearce is spending time with Katie Holmes in the dark. Hopefully neither of them will trip over Tom Cruise…

Is it just me or should they try to hire Michael J. Fox for the remake and turn it into Middle-Aged Wolf? Just me? Awesome.

Oh, the rage we could be feeling about remakes right now. And oh, the clever move by the studio to satiate them by casting a hot actress (Adrianne Palicki) and a talented actor (Josh Peck). Well played, MGM.
