The production company that has given me several headaches via Lost and Fringe is making me cry because Bad Robot is looking to destroy the 1980 classic Little Darlings according a Tweet from Production Weekly. The coming of age drama starred Tatum O’Neal, Kristy McNichol and Matt Dillon and is perfect the way it is and doesn’t need to be reinvented 30 years later. J.J. stick to what you know, f*cking with out heads and don’t live out a childhood fantasy of being Randy. At least I assume that is what he is thinking because why else would he want to remake the teen flick when over the last few years he has been doing things like Lost, Fringe, Star Trek, Alias, Mission Impossible and Cloverfield. J.J. Felicity was 10 years ago and you need to keep that genre in your past and stick to action and SciFi. Please!
BTW could you believe I couldn’t find the trailer for Little Darlings on YouTube, but I guess having the whole feature there instead is even better! What a great movie….that doesn’t need to be remade. Knowing Hollywood they probably will have Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Joe Jonas starring in it. I shudder at the thought.
For 30 years we have wondered what could kill Jason Vorhees and now we know. Last year Michael Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes destroyed the classic horror franchise by remaking Friday the 13th and then said they would make a sequel to the remake. Well yesterday the movie’s producer Brad Fuller responded to a Tweet by Mayroth_Tucker3 “Hows the F13 sequel coming along?” by saying, “it is dead- not happening.” He then went on to Tweet, “i am fighting for it, and have been- i love that movie, but right now- there isnt any movement.” and “i simply can’t get one made right now.” and “its not my call- i would drop everything and make it today if they wanted it.” and finally when asked why it is dead he Tweeted “it is a long story-”
Well I for one am elated by the news because I am sick of Platinum Dunes destroying my classic horror movies like F13, Nightmare on Elm Street and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so I am glad they are not able to make the sequels. Maybe they are having financial woes and will go away! Not only have they remade the above, but they have also threatened to do the same with The Birds and Rosemary’s Baby. Thankfully they went the same way Friday the 13th 2 2.0 went…and died!
I have to admit I checked out Friday the 13th 2.0 and even Jared Padelecki couldn’t make that piece of sh!t watchable to me, so I am even happier the sequel isn’t happening.
I am all for Friday the 13th sequel because the original franchise promised us 13 movies and they have only done 10. The thing that made those movies fun is not only were they slasher flicks, but the deaths were funny. In the crappy remake, they took the deaths seriously and that is not what those awesome 80’s slasher flicks were all about. C’mon what other movie can have Jason kill a guy on a roof in NYC when the guy says to “Hit me with your best shot” so Jay-Jay-Jay-Son-Son-Son punches him in the head and his head goes flying off the roof. I can go on, but you get the point.
So I have 4 words for the person who killed this movie…Thank you very much!!!
First Zac Efron then director Kenny Ortega and now Chace Crawford have all danced away from Footloose. According to Hollywood Insider a source says that he dropped out because of his production schedule for Gossip Girl and they are looking to begin shooting around the time the new season starts filming.
They added that Paramount will most likely be looking for an unknown to put on his dancing shoes. Footloose has not only lost their two leading males and the director but the script has also been rewritten and the film has been delayed for over a year, if I were Paramount I would take that as a sign not to remake the classic. Granted I am saying that because I don’t want them to make it!
Side note: When I was looking for a picture of Chace to post with this story, I spotted this picture of him zipping up his fly. Below is the picture before someone told him about his boo boo.
One of my all-time favorite movies that made me fall in love with Val Kilmer is being destroyed, according to Pajiba Real Genius is being redone for the big screen. Why? Seriously Why? The movie was a Real Genius for its time and doesn’t need to be duplicated and the whole meaning of the movie is not relevant for today. Knowing Hollywood they will probably fill the cast up with people from Judd Apatow films and make it another unfunny movie that only few people find funny. Plus if you are going to remake the movie you have to do the Jiffy Pop scene, and there is no way anyone can ever top it or do it better. That scene is one of the all-time classic scenes. So instead of downing some popcorn at the movie theater when this sure-to-be-latest-piece-sh!t comes out, I will be at home making some Jiffy Pop on the stove and watching the original Real Genius on DVD to protest the fact they destroyed one my favorite movies for no reason at all.
Oh and if the Real Genius news isn’t bad enough, Pajiba is reporting they are also destroying House Party.
Nothing is sacred anymore in Hollywood. Can’t they come up with some more original movies to turn into 3D so they jack up the price up of movie tickets even more? Leave our movies alone!
It has been 30 years since Goldie Hawn suited up as Private Benjamin and now Anna Faris will be doing the same. The Scary Movie star will be taking over the ranks in the latest movie to be destroyed, I mean remade by New Line. According to the Risky Business, “The new take will set the story in contemporary times with modern wars as the backdrop. Insiders say the studio doesn’t want to poke fun at the men and women in the service or take political potshots, but rather focus on the empowerment elements and build on the fish-out-of-water comedy.” Even though they are keeping the feeling of the original I don’t think they need to redo it. Even though Anna Faris does have a Goldie Hawn feel about her, she doesn’t need to do one of the roles that made Hawn an icon.
I have given up asking Hollywood to stop making remakes and try making original films instead, so I ask you film goers to stop seeing them because money talks!
