REMAKES- and why we hate them.
So, went to the movies today and got the magazine they hand out about upcoming movies, movies that are showing etc, and guess what!
Found a list of 80's remakes which would be arriving in theatres in 2012. Not only will they make a remake of one of the classic horror movies (which also happens to be my favourite)- Nightmare on Elm Street. Now I am very skeptical of this for several reasons;
1) I find it doubtful they would be able to find someone who could really portray Freddie.
2) It does not need to be remakes, because it's classic, and even thought it was made YEARS ago, it is still one of the best ones out there.
Or maybe I am the only one who find most old horror movies better then these new ones which is just all about the effects.
Also, they are doing a remake of Karate Kid, which I think everyone and their children have seen. Now, maybe a remake could be a good thing. After all, seeing Jackie Chan portraying Mr. Miyagi could be interesting.
According to the dictionary the definition of remake;
1. The act of remaking.
2. Something in remade form, especially a new version of an earlier movie or song.
3. a new version of an old film
I'm sure Jaden Smith (will Smith's son) is a good actor, but somehow the whole idea just makes me very skeptical. But I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see. :)
Also, a Ghostbusters 3- why? The first movie was great, funny- the second? Big NO-NO. Although sequels often are.
But when the second one goes to the crapper, why make YET ANOTHER one? This does not only apply to Ghostbusters, but also Karate Kid and the Freddie Kreuger film.
Please save us from the pain that is lousy sequels and nonsense remakes!
