In 1973, Don’t Look Now got released, and so, it was rumored, did Donald Sutherland. So are the new filmmakers also going to remake the sex scene so realistic there’s still debate, 40 years later, about whether or not it involved actual penetration?
How about David Lynch? Or mumblecore pioneer Joe Swanberg? Or self-made-weirdo-slash-spoon-aficionado Tommy Wiseau?
This is a time of year, you may have noticed, when many people choose to re-watch their favorite movies. It's a comforting tradition, certainly, and I'm very much in favor of watching movies repeatedly in a general sense, but there are times when I find myself wishing some of these classics, hampered as they are by…
Whitney Houston's role in Sparkle, Salim Akil's sturdy and enjoyable remake of Sam O'Steen's nearly unwatchable 1976 film of the same name, is tailored to the late diva. As Emma, Houston plays the surly matriarch of a trio of singing sisters – Sister, Delores and Sparkle – and a former singer herself who was "almost…
A whole new generation of theme parties is about to be born, as The Hollywood Reporter announced Wednesday that camp classic Whatever Happened to Baby Jane will soon be remade by director Walter Hill.
It's easy to dismiss most remakes as useless retreads of the original, but the new Total Recall actually looks like a fun update of the 1990 film. On the other hand, is it really all that different from the first?
Here's the trailer for the adaptation of the late 60's ghoulish soap opera, Dark Shadows. But alas, coated over and shellacked with Tim Burton camp and Johnny Depp shmaltz, the revival of the cult classic looks like it will be an unrecognizable homage to the original.
Here's a trailer for Footloose—yes, that Footloose—which will ruin your childhood when it hits theaters in October. The remake, produced by MTV, stars newcomer Kenny Wormald as Ren, Dancing with the Stars' Julianne Hough as Ariel, and Dennis Quaid as Ariel's dance-banning preacher father. There's dancing! And…
See old of footage Spencer Tracy, Kirk Douglas, and even a low-tech Kevin the bird spliced together by Ivan Guerrero to create this impressive live-action "premake" of Up.
Nope. Probably not. The promo for the third show networks stole from England's like, three channels has arrived! The only thing this one has going for it over the others, so far, is that kid from Jungle 2 Jungle.
Hollywood, the most original dream factory in the world, is apparently remaking Paul Verhoeven's marvelous 1990 sci-fi adventure Total Recall, possibly with Colin Farrell in the Arnold Schwarzenegger "Quaiiiddd!!" role. Aw, his face won't look as funny all bulged out.
For those who have been following the Anglophilic networks plans for new shows, you'd know that the MTV Skins is the probably the most anticipated remake for 2011. Well, the trailer is out, and it's horrible. Watch the video, inside.
A few months ago we brought you a list of British shows that are being remade for US audiences. Well the first trailer for Shameless is out and dare we say it doesn't look as bad as we originally thought?
In a reimagined Duck Tales intro, the Beagle Boys enact sexually charged violence against Webby Vanderquack in a ransom plot designed only to replenish the sadistic Scrooge McDuck's money swimming pool. Why Disney never developed the storyline is a mystery.
Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro are teaming up with Lars von Trier to "reboot" Taxi Driver. In 3D! (Your totally credible source for this information: "Copenhagen film magazine Ekko.")
Wes Anderson has perfected the awkward, colorful twee genre, but he's never been forced out of his element before. What if he took over the Spider-Man franchise? Is it possible to make Peter Parker a bigger wuss? Not likely.
We've all been concerned about the remake saturation that has plagued Hollywood as of late. Even though America has subconsciously begged for Footloose: Redux, our culture's fascination with all things old borderlines on pathological. Thank goodness, then, for Meghan McCain.
Much hay has been made over Hollywood's growing reliance on the remake. Creativity is dead, yes, we know, but, more importantly, the silver screen's recycling kick also acts as an endorsement for mediocrity. And it's all your fault!
It's official: MTV is going ahead with that horrible and unnecessary Teen Wolf series.
The Baffler, the late-'90s journal of stuffy-and-crotchety-yet-youthful dissent, which always read like it was edited by precocious 13-year-olds who wore bow-ties and read Das Kapital and listened to the Misfits semi-ironically and hated their parents, is returning.
