That high pitched scream you heard was not from Daryl Hannah saying her real name in Splash, but me when I just read in The Hollywood Reporter that they are remaking the 1984 movie with Channing Tatum as the Mermaid.
Splash is a movie that holds up very well, so there is no reason to remake it. Let alone to remake with Channing Tatum in Hannah’s role and Jillian Bell in Tom Hanks’s part. No.
Who wants to see a movie with a male Mermaid? Not being sexist, but they are women. At least half women, but you know what I mean.
Tatum needs to stick with what he does best, dancing half naked in movies like Step Up and Magic Mike. Not playing a half naked Merman.
Dear Hollywood and Disney, Stop remaking great movies and turning them into crappy ones. Didn’t this summer’s box office teach you anything? Guess not.
