Another movie being remade that doesn’t need to be remade

Variety says that Queen Latifa has signed on to be in the remake of the 1984 movie All of Me which starred Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin. I just don't get why New Line is remaking this movie and with her. In fact when I heard they were remaking the movie I actually pictured Cameron Diaz in the role and I was still dreading the movie. When will Hollywood just come up with new movies and stop remaking crappy ones?

Say It Ain’t So, A Goonies Musical.
March 28th, 2007 under Broadway, Stupid Sequels/Remakes. [ Comments: none ]

 

Entertainment Weekly recently sat down with Richard Donner who told them that he is working with Stephen Spielberg on a musical version of Goonies.'"Steven and I have discussed it, and it's something that I'm fairly passionate about right now," And to rub more salt in the wound Donner confirms there is no sequel in the works, ''We never had a script,'' Donner explains. ''We tried a couple of times and every time we did, we realized, 'What are we doing?'''
I really wish Broadway would stop turning movies into musicals because it is beyond depressing to me. It is bad enough that movies are not original anymore, why does Broadway have to follow that trend too.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s love won’t Graduate to the big screen
February 19th, 2007 under Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Stupid Sequels/Remakes. [ Comments: none ]

Demi Moore has turned down a role in a remake of 1967 film The Graduate, which originally stared Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman. Playing the younger man would have been….surprise surprise, her husband Ashton Kutcher, who is 16 years her junior. The ‘G. I. Jane’ actress has now decided that it would be a bad idea to star alongside her partner. She says, "Real couples being on screen together never seems to work."

Why would they make a sequel to Bachelor Party straight-to-DVD?
February 19th, 2007 under Stupid Sequels/Remakes. [ Comments: none ]

Fox has greenlit a direct-to-DVD sequel to the 1984 Tom Hanks comedy “Bachelor Party,” with James Ryan directing from a script by Jay Longino. Production is scheduled to begin filming late-March in Miami. Engaged to Melinda after only knowing her for a couple months, Ron is treated to the ultimate bachelor party in Florida, courtesy of Melinda’s scheming brother-in-law Todd, in an attempt to sabotage his relationship with Melinda. Fully ready to party but determined to remain true to Melinda, Ron must endure temptation after temptation if he wants to remain engaged.

Seriously who is the person doing or what pictures do they have in order to get the go ahead to make this film? At least Val Kilmer is going to be in the sequel of Real Genius!

Say it ain’t so…Zoolander 2?
December 12th, 2006 under Frat Pack, Stupid Sequels/Remakes. [ Comments: none ]

Those Zoolander sequel rumors just won’t go away. This time, it’s Ben Stiller spreading them. While out promoting Night at the Museum he told USA Today that once he finishes filming the new Farrelly brothers movie The Heatbreak Kid, he plans to explore the possibility of a second Zoolander movie. Over the years both of the movie’s stars, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have talked on and off about making a follow up to their modeling industry parody, but they’ve just never gotten around to it. Maybe what’s holding them back is simply scheduling. Stiller says, “"It’s almost more difficult to work together as everybody has gotten successful. Everybody is doing their own thing, and it’s sometimes hard to get together.” The first movie starred Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Ben’s wife Christine Taylor, Ben’s dad Jerry Stiller, Will Ferrell, and Milla Jovovich. It’s easy to see why it might be tough to get all of those people back in the same film at the same time. Ben and Owen however are back together for Night at the Museum, and maybe time spent on the same movie had something to do with getting the idea of a sequel cooking in Stiller’s head again. Theatrically the movie was only a moderate success. It cost $28 million to make and grossed $45 million domestically. Since then though, it’s become an bigger hit on DVD.

I am sorry but that was one of the worst movies ever, why oh why would there be sequel talk. Please stop Ben Stiller from making movies! Please!
