| Watching the Final Four and I just saw a trailer for a new version of Nightmare On Elm Street.
Puh-leeeze! Doesn't anyone in Hollywood have an original idea anymore? No wonder I run to Asian cinema. |

| The worst part? It's a Michael Bay film.

| its simple - remakes are safer films to make because there is a built in audience. I am with you though - enough with the remakes! |

| I understand the logic behind making remakes but that doesn't mean I like it. Geez, why aren't they remaking Hostel? Hell, it's over 5 years old... |

| Sometimes I actually like the remake moreso than the original. Not always.
But many remakes are some of my favorite movies:
Freaky Friday (way better than the original)
Parent Trap (way better)
Gone in 60 Seconds
etc. |

Even they're not safe. For a while Hollywood was "remaking" Asian movies by the buttload. (i.e. "The Ring," "the Grudge," "Dark Water," etc.) Though thankfully the trend seems to have died off in recent years...

| I am looking forward to the new Clash of the Titans. Having just watched the original the other day, with all its charms, I'm very curious to see the big budget version. |

I read that it might be a prequal. I would kind of want to see that. |

I don't know that could go either way.
Let's remember "The Fog" was actually better than the original.

| I don't mind remakes, they usually decent films. Films like Gone In 60 Seconds aren't bad. |

Well, the first two are classics. Maybe #3 will be, too? |

| Never cared for Nightmare on Elm Street so it doesn't bother me if the remake it or not.
Not a fan of those type of movies!

NOOO!!!!!
Honestly, I think Nightmare on Elm Street isn't all that great anyway, but with Michael Bay directing it it'll probably be even worse. Transformers 2 is by far one of the worst pieces of shite I have ever seen. It should be a criminal offense to makes movies that are that terrible. |
