They Live To Be Remade.
John Carpenter (The Thing, Ghosts Of Mars) is selling out yet another of his movies with a planned remake of his 1988 film, They Live. Universal and Strike Entertainment, who made Children Of Men and the 2004 remake of Dawn Of the Dead are producing it.
‘Bourne’ will be Kicking ass at Universal for a Long Time
Looks as though we can expect plenty more bond films from Universal. Seems that the powerhouse studio has picked up the rights to the character and more book from Ludlum’s estate. We’ve already got a fourth film that’s being written right now. How many more can we expect? And, how will those compare to the first three that took the world by storm? Read on for some more details.
Gore Verbinski To Remake The Host
Gore Verbinski (Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Ring) and Universal are set to remake the Korean monster movie The Host. Verbinski will produce with first time feature director Fredrick Bond behind the camera. The script will be written by Mark Poirier (Smart People). Read more for more details.
‘Oldboy’ Remake, back on
One of my favorite films ever is Chan-Wook Park’s Oldboy. It had an excellent premise, great acting, a strong story, nearly perfect cinematography and overall, just one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Now, America, as it seems to do with ANY film that has ANY success anywhere, has considered remaking Oldboy for several years, but certain events have kept the film from moving forward, much to my happiness. Well, now it seems that I have to stop smiling. They may just be going forward with this. Read on for what some of you may be thrilled about, but Mikey is super upset about.
Universal to make ‘Army of Two’
Universal Pictures has the rights to take ‘Army of Two’ from the console to the big screen. This third person shooter will make the transition nicely. I mean who doesn’t want to see two guys running around shooting people and blowing stuff up?
Bayonna to Helm ‘Hater’
Oh glorious news! It seems like director Juan Antonio Bayonna (The Orphanage) has been tapped to direct ‘Hater’ for Universal. Why am I so excited? Because, after Guillermo del Toro, Bayonna is one of the up-and-coming directors to watch. The Orphanage was a masterpiece, and almost as powerful as Pan’s Labyrinth on a much smaller scale. And, the good news doesn’t stop there. Read on for more.
Re-imagining of a Classic Tale
So, the news to day was…interesting. I say that because every time I think of re-imagining I think of that steaming pile of sh*t, Rob Zombie’s Halloween. Michael Myers is not a red-neck hick you hack. Leave the industry immediately. A turd nyway, but news on the remake front. Wait, or is it re-imagining? This one sounds more like that to me. For now, let’s just say it’s Universal at the forefront of this one, and it sounds like it’ll either be beyond fun, or it will be a horrendous. Read on for what’s coming up.
Elfman scores big for ‘The Wolfman’
Looks like another key player has been added to the remake/re-imagining of Universal’s own ‘The Wolfman’. The guys over at Ain’t It Cool News posted that they received a call from Universal to announce the big news on their site (I want Universal to call me and tell me secrets). Anyway. The big guy himself, Danny Elfman will be delivering the goods for the upcoming film starring Benicio Del Toro. Read on for some more info.
