The Hollywood remake trend
September 22nd, 2009Link: http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/21/remakes/
CNN.com posted a story today talking about what most of us film fans have been grumbling over for some time already: Movie remakes.
I consider myself a serious moviephile, but the bottom line is that if it's a good movie then I don't care if it's a remake or not. Of course I was upset when I heard about the Karate Kid remake, but I'm over it because in the end it should be enjoyed in it's own right and not compared directly to the original to declare success or failure.
And I'm not sure about others, but I am VERY excited about the prospect of another big-budget re-imagining of Frank Herbert's DUNE by director Peter Berg.
On another note, here is a great link to a site called Screen Rant for all you fellow film (& TV) lovers out there.
