Actual proposal, or guerrilla marketing campaign for a re-release of the original movie?
QT directs:
Samuel L Jackson as Indigo: Say “inconceivable” again, muthafucker.
I DO NOT WANT
but I like my casting choices:
Zak Efron as Westley
Hugh Jackman as Humperdink
Samuel L Jackson as Indigo Montoya
Dwayne Johnson as Fezzik
Tom Hanks as Vizzini
Melissa McCarthy as Buttercup
Patrick Stewart as the Grandfather
any mode good ones?
There is no replacement for andre the giant.
Really bad idea. Let’s remake Groundhog Day while we’re at it. Also Airplane, The Blues Brothers, Spinal Tap, Misery, A Few Good Men and Stand By Me while we’re at it.
I wish they’d remake the 2009 Star Trek, this time with more story and less lens flare.
And The Phantom Menace, this time written by someone with talent. So no Abrams. Heck, i’d take QT redoing it over what it is now.
No, Samuel Jackson as The Man in Black. “Incon-fu**ing-ceivable! That MF-er did NOT just climb up that cliff after us! I do not have time for this shit!”
They haven’t even proposed anything. Here’s the full quote:
There have been remakes of good movies before. Are there people out there that prefer the new versions of:
Taking of Pelham 123
Manchurian Candidate
Arlington Road (Parallax View)
Psycho
Rollerball
The Andromeda Strain
Are either of those movies consider perfect or even practically perfect? As to Star Trek, No need to remake, just make another one, I enjoyed the last one penned by Simon Pegg very much. As to Star Wars, I just don’t care, but a lot of people are enjoying it.
Radical concept, Hollywood, how about some original films? Don’t have to have $200 million budgets either. In the 70s and 80s a lot of really great films were made that were original or from novels. Look at Rob Reiner, John Hughes & John Landis especially.
I don’t understand why that particular movie is considered so sacred. It was released 32 years ago. A lot of movie goers weren’t even alive back then and may have never seen the original at all. Why not give it another go?
I find it pathetic that many of the people who are up in arms about this and are actively protesting it don’t even blink an eye over the latest lie told by that sack of shit in the Oval Office.
Wait, they remade The Andromeda Strain?!? Should I assume it was garbage?
The Andromeda Strain (miniseries) - Wikipedia Turned it into a government conspiracy thriller. :smack:
40% on Rotten Tomatoes
The rating G meant something completely different in 1970. :eek:
With time travel!
Srsly.
I’m sure that the point is that someone in Hollywood is convinced that a remake would make a crapton of money. Pure and simple.
I think that suggests, to me, a potential for a theatrical re-release of the original, rather than a remake, which has, frankly, a pretty high likelihood of being somewhere between “disappointing” and “horrible.”
They did a one-night-only re-release of the original a couple of years ago (through Fathom Events, IIRC), which we went to – the theater was full.
Why does a remake need to be ‘better’ to justify its existence? Why can’t a movie just be good? The Arlington Road and Manchurian remakes, for example, had generally good reviews and are very enjoyable.
Sorry to nitpick, but he directly tells us his name a dozen times or more in this movie and in no instance is it “Indigo.”
