They're remaking The Crow and they've offered the lead to Mark Wahlberg??
No, no, no, no. STOP THAT RIGHT NOW. This isn't the freaking Punisher, it's Eric Draven. (Well, unless they're going to go with one of the other Crows instead.)
"Whereas Proyas’ original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style"
UGH. This is going to be so terrible and I'm going to ignore it completely.
Not everything needs to be remade, movie people. Especially things that are cosidered perfectly fine on their own because they're cult films. Oh Jesus, I've just realised that someone is going to try and remake a film version of Rocky Horror pretty soon.
Oh man, I just Googled:
MTV Films and Sky Movies were planning to remake The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The network was planning a two-hour-long remake to be based on the original screenplay, and featuring songs not included in the original.
Right. Of course.
Hellraiser also doesn't need a remake. I'm sure the original would still scare the crap out of my just like it did when I was ten. I also don't want a new Alien, especially a prequel explaining everything. It's actually more awesome to leave questions, okay? Our tiny viewing minds won't explode if we have to ponder reasons for things happening in films.
Basically, right now I'm the old woman who wants you kids to get the hell off her childhood movie lawn.
