What a dumb idea!

I've heard news about a remake being done of Stephen King's It. What they plan on doing is making the movie from Beverly's point of view and compressing the entire thing into two hours! What? How in the heck are they going to compress that story into two hours?! I mean, the first one was three hours and THAT left out a lot of the story! How is two hours going to do the story justice, as well as develop the characters? At least, in the 1990 version, we got inside everybody's heads (though the main characters seemed to me to be Bill and Mike).

Personally, I think this whole gambit is stupid. Why remake an already-decent movie? It's old school, it's cool, and it doesn't need to be remade. Why they're tampering with all these old movies and remaking them is beyond me. It just gives me the impression that the whole movie-making business has run out of ideas and originality, so they go and remake movies left and right.

So, what do you all think? Does our movie business lack good ideas these days? Should movies be remade? Hmmm...

Yet rarely do I find a movie equal to the book. Nicholas Sparks's books have been put into 3 films which two I have seen...did his book well yet I find that it does not happen too often. Movie makers are after the money, especially when they re-make movies that already have been made. There is my two cents on this subject. HUGS & BLESSINGS,

Some people obviously thing an original classic shouldn't be tampered with, others disagree. I thought Kubrick's version of The Shining was just horrible, but really liked the ABC mini-series with Rebecca DeMornay much better. I think Texas Chainsaw Massacre did a good job and introduced the film to a new generation who can now go back and see the original as well. I have heard rumblings that they are going to remake Halloween like they did TCM. Not sure that would work too well, although I would love to see them actually take the time and remake another quality version of Carrie. I think the retelling from Beverly's perspective could be interesting since they left out so much story because of having to get it all condensed into a movie. Tim Curry was PHENOMENAL as Pennywise though. I don't think that performance can be surpassed. -DeltaRebel

is this going to be a direct to video release or a movie on the big screen???

Date: 7/14/2004 9:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 62728    I think a lot of it depends on the reasons for remaking the movie. If it's because there is something new to tell or a new way to tell it, then that can be great. If it's simply to redo it, well we saw what happened to Psycho even though it was an attempt at an homage. If it's to retell it in some new vision, then it can introduce the original to a new generation through the new story. It is tough to do though, and you have to have the right director and cast or it will be miserable. -DeltaRebel
