Talk about a remake that should be dead like the lead character in the movie and that film is Weekend at Bernie’s. Moviehole is reporting that Gladden Entertainment is redoing the Andrew McCarthy/Jonathan Silverman flick, but instead of at a beach they will do it at a ski lodge. Because we all know dead bodies smell better in the cold as compared to the hot summer sun. Seriously why? Weekend a Bernie’s is a cult classic that is fine the way it is and it doesn’t need to be put on ice with a crappy remake.
BTW Gladden Entertainment is also working on remaking another one of Andrew McCarthy’s film’s Mannequin. I don’t know what their obsession with him is, but why do we have to suffer for it. Actually it is kind of scary how obsessed they are with Andrew McCarthy movies, they better not f*ck with Pretty in Pink because there will be nothing pretty about that.
Here is some window dressing that I wish Hollywood would’ve walked on by, but sadly they didn’t because Moviehole is reporting that they are remaking Mannequin. The fun ’80s movie that starred Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, Estelle Getty, James Spader and Meshach Taylor is in the early stages of development by the newly relaunched Gladden Entertainment. Maybe instead of relaunching old movie, they should try coming up with new ideas? Because Hollywood is so sad these day they probably would cast hm Hollywood Montrose, after all they probably wouldn’t have to spend any money on wardrobe because that is the American Idol loser dresses anyways.
