I support the remakes. Most of the ones that have come out so far were good movies. They are not as good as the originals., but they are still good.
Plus it drums up interest in the originals which sometimes creates some cool new stuff.

Fuck! Gonna be a few good years of movies coming up. I usually always like the remakes better than the originals. Surprised the Exorcist wasn't on
there; the only horror movie they're not redoing.But then again, it is the ONLY scary movie in existence. Tony Stark summed up my opinion in Iron
Man..."I've been called alot of things, and nostalgic isn't one of them"

People always say that about the Exorcist that it was such a scary movie. I never found it to be, I even laughed my ass off in parts of it. I could
never figure out what was so scary about it. There was no realism to it, I mean it was a as real as Star Wars to me.

Why does Hollywood keep churning these remakes out?
BECAUSE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS KEEP SEEING THEM! That's why.
Let's face it, Hollywood is out of ideas on how to scare people.
Want originality in Horror? Look to Europe - France, Spain and Sweden in particluar to get an original ( or semi original) horror movie for the next 5
yrs.
On a happy note - 2 remakes that are thankfully NOT happening are "The Exorcist" and "Rosemarys Baby".

Yeah, I know what you mean. But seeing her ram that crucifix in her twat saying "fuck me jesus!" when you're like 11 stays with you for awhile. When
you're young enough to believe in santa you believe in satan too. Then you grow up and realize everything's a lie. Scary to a child, funny to an
adult.

is "I Saw What You Did" (2012), a remake of i know what you did last summer?
you can't remake a movie that's been out for less than a decade!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

No, the list is legit.
"I Saw What You Did" (2012), is not a remake of " I Know What You Did Last Summer" but a 1965 movie.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Saw_What_You_Did

Furly- Most of these lists are pretty speculative. Shit like this hits blogs all the time. Most of these won't even make it into preproduction.

back), since i don't know where else i would've seen it.
oh, and i'm really not trying to be that creepy guy in multiple threads.

With Carpenter actively involved it might not that bad of a movie.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street" (2010),
"The Birds" (2009),
"Candyman" (2011),
"Child's Play" (2010),
"Children of the Corn" (2009),
"The Evil Dead" (2011),
"Halloween 2" (2010),
"Hellraiser" (2010),
"I Spit on Your Grave" (2011),
"Poltergeist" (2012),
"The Thing" (2012),
These are the only ones I've really heard of. Remaking the classics (Freddy, Jason, Myers, Pinhead) is just fucking retarded. Remaking series is
like the ultimate in "we're too fucking dumb to come up with something new". Remakes of 1 off movies, sure, but again why popular classics? Remake
the shit nobody watched the first time, try to revive a failed movie by doing it better, but timeless classics should be left alone, horror &
otherwise.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I see at least a couple of movies that are already remakes on there too. I've finally accepted that some remakes are actually much better than their
originals, but I still think it's bullshit that Hollywood can't come up with better original movies than remakes.

I agree, I read awesome books all the time, that would make decent movies. Why don't they look there??

I
think the same thing, unfortunately they seem to fuck those up worse than remaking movies that were fine the first time around.

They can, and there's actually tons of shit out there. However, right now, it's a lot easier and more successful to use familiar characters and story
lines, and it's going to continue as long as the American public keeps going to see them, which they will.
And, I'm not a HUGE horror fan, but there seems to be a pretty steady stream of original ideas/movies out there I see previews for.

Also, that article is about 2 years old. I'm pretty sure the guy from 300 had dropped out and someone else had already been casted, but I could have
that backwards.

remaking a film is a hell of a lot easier then writing something original
hire a 50 dollar hack and you have a script rewrite in a few hours,
hire no name talent and spend the rest of the budget in bad "tool" music video special effects and marketing it to idiots
there is writing talent left in the world, but it's used in comics, video games, and online where people have more control over their own projects and
they can afford to diy it if they need to...
hell for less than 10,000 you can buy a good computer, editing software and a used camera and produce your own films at better quality than there was
in the 80's
what was considered hollywood is dying fast and hard like the music industry
too many fat cats taking large sums to do nothing, and then putting out subpar products...
burn hollywood burn

Actually, Hollywood isn't suffering anywhere NEARLY as badly as the music industry, and have actually learned some pretty valuable lessons from that
industries mistakes.
And also, to be honest, most of these remakes are essentially new stories. Halloween took a couple of characters and the same city and made a good
amount of changes (aside from scenes Zombie deliberately left in as an homage). Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Day, totally different stories. Same
with Day the Earth Stood Still.

Fuck remakes.
Jackie Chan is being courted to star as the next Mr Miyagi in a proposed Karate Kid remake.

The Evil Dead better turn out to be something really zany. I mean, instead of a a whole new cast with a whole new Ash they, Raimi should cast Campbell
as Ash again and pretty much do what he did with Evil Dead 2 and re-do the story with a few tweeks but make Ash all just an old perv that's hanging
out with teens or something.
And how can it be the Evil Dead if it's made with modern sfx? No thanks.
