A few more ill-advised remakes.

RoboCop and Red Dawn.

OK, the cyborg cop concept is still viable (even if no remake is necessary), but a Soviet invasion of the US is . . . a bit dated.

Don't you know discussion of politics is banned?

Don't be that guy.

They'll probably do the lame update where it involves terrorists instead of Russians. I'll pass.

 

[J.R. Hudson]

I am so down with RED DAWN.

Let's just hope they don't cast the WB stars.

That was done -- Invasion USA.

But they ought to just leave the past in the past and come up with something more original.

Get ready for the remake of Roadhouse...:2vrolijk_08:

I would actually like to see a remake of The Last Starfighter. I watched it again the other day and I think it can be done better today.

the day the earth stood still - this time the aliens are here to warn us about the environment. keanu reeves plays the alien.

As for remaking Robo-cop, that is just wrong. That film is great as is. And Red Dawn is an enjoyable movie and I doubt they can get someone like Swayze today.

The remake madness continues. This just couldn't be more unnecessary--

Wonder if they'll let Tobe Hooper direct it this time.

:grin:

I was wondering the same thing. :thumbup:

You mean the guy who made The Mangler didn't really direct Poltergeist?

 

[J.R. Hudson]

Bwahahahhaha :beer:


Poltergiest being remade is not a od idea; jeeeeeez, just make a ghost story.


Are they gonna cast a lil girl and have a tv set gone awry ?

 

[Captain Pierce]

I mean this not as politics but as current events... Russia just invaded Georgia*, so clearly they're still in the invasion business.

Maybe they're just lulling us into a false sense of security, and only the last survivor of the Wolverines, Patrick Swayze, can save us before he heroically dies from cancer.

Or something.

*Here's another way to go at it--cast Larry the Cable Guy as the Swayze character, and have him play a guy from Atlanta who doesn't know that "Georgia" is also a place in the former Soviet Union. Call it "Delta Farce 2: Red Dawn."

red dawn... chinese.. invade instead?
