WTMFGDSOBBS?!​

I have read the rumors about this (gasp!) "remake" for some time, but I woulda sworn that it was dead in the water. There are very few untouchable classics that would have me quite as worked up if they were being remade as this one does (Casablanca, of course, topping that list.) Needless to say, I am good and poo pooin' hot under the collar.

Say it ain't so, Joe!!​

For me, this is beyond rediculous. Sunset Boulevard was born out of a particular era that no longer exists. It is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of film noir ever made and personally I must agree with you whole-heartedly.

Seeing this should we expect remakes of the following movies next?
Casablanca (although not noir, it is possibly the greatest "classic" movie of all time)
The Third Man
Double Indemnity
The Maltese Falcon
Touch of Evil
Kiss me Deadly

There are some of the old lesser known movies that might (and I do mean might) be able use an updating, but these ain't them.

Sigh.

I have a feeling that every classic film ever made is going to get the same treatment.

You'll know the end is near when they retool Citizen Kane, for it is surley the sign of the antichrist.

Studio Exec: "We can film it in Color! We don't even need sets! Three cheers for Greenscreen! Is Micheal Bay available? No? Get me Rattner, STAT! Karen, get me Vin Diesels agent! While your at it, get me the Rock's too!

Flunky: Sir-

Studio Exec: By day he is the rich, uppity owner of a newspaper, but by night, he is a crime fighter fighting for the working man!

Flunky: But sir, that sounds an awful lot like Batm-

Studio Exec: I like the way you think. Karen! Give me Joal Schumacher! We need Nipples on this thing! Hey hey hey, Get this: Maybe Kane has a Cane, that like, is a hidden sword or something! Like that blind china man movie! Ohh ohh ohh: Rosebud is, get this, get this, a snowboard, that he, like, uses to fight Nazis!

Flunky: Uh...

Studio Exec: Oh Flunkmeister, I've done it again. Karen! Get us some takeout, pronto! Scratch that. Sushi Sushi Sushi. We need brain food! Ideas like this just don't pop out of thin air. They are...I'm looking for a word here, flunkman, help me out.

Flunky: Divine.

Studio Exec: Yes, divine. The Gods are smiling down upon us today my friend. Karen! Karen! SSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUSHHHHHIIIIIIII!

I liked that

Touch of Evil could be remade. It isn't a classic. Aside from the amazing opening shot it's not that great. It doesn't hold up today like others do.


Super Trooper - that was hilarious!! you'd probably get a $100 million budget for diesel as Kane the millionaire crime fighter, as long as there's an action figure in the works.
