Next remakes being prepared by (((Hollywood)))

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
1988's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a classic comedy starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin as two con men who had made a rather despicable wager. The two were trying to fleece an heiress out of her money, and whoever lost the bet had to skip town, but while the film was a success the story was hardly original. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was actually a remake of a 1964 film called Bedtime Story, which starred Marlon Brando.
MGM is currently updating the movie again with women in the lead instead. The new pic, Nasty Women, will star Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as the two despicable scammers. If Nasty Women manages to bring back the whole cultured crook versus crass con artist angle, then it's not difficult to guess who will play who.

Overboard
Released in 1987, Garry Marshall's Overboard may have divided critics, but it eventually won the hearts of comedy fans across the world. Starring the legendary couple of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, the film focused on a spoiled
heiress who fell off a yacht and woke up in a hospital with amnesia. Through a series of hijinks, her carpenter tricked her into thinking she was his wife and hillbilly hell broke out.
Flash forward three decades, and Overboard is being remade with Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez in the lead roles, but this time there's a little twist: the roles will be flipped, with Derbez playing a selfish playboy from a wealthy Mexican family who loses his memory after taking a tumble off a boat, while Faris will be a single mom who fools Derbez into thinking he's her husband.

The Thomas Crown Affair
Coming off films like Creed and Fruitvale Station, there's no denying Michael B. Jordan is one of the most exciting actors working today. Now, he'll be following in Steve McQueen's footsteps with another adaptation of The Thomas
Crown Affair. The original 1968 film followed a wealthy businessman who orchestrated a nearly perfect bank robbery, but eventually an insurance investigator began to suspect Crown of pulling off the heist. Sparks eventually flew between them and the two leads had to grapple with both their emotions and millions of dollars as they tried to outwit one another.
The film was already remade with some success with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo as the co-leads, but what's really impressive is that this new version is all Michael B. Jordan's idea. Jordan reportedly pitched MGM on the idea for a remake himself and landed the title role as a result.

The Raid: Redemption
One of the craziest action movies in recent memory, The Raid: Redemption followed a SWAT team trying to nab a notorious crime lord, but most of the movie was made up of fantastic fight scenes as the team battles their way up a heavily-guarded high-rise apartment building. However, while the original Raid is a martial arts extravaganza, director Joe Carnahan plans on getting grittier with his upcoming remake. The director of films like Narc and The Grey, Carnahan is teaming up with actor Frank Grillo to create a film he says will feel like a feature-length version of the knife fight scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Death Wish
The quintessential revenge flick, Michael Winner's Death Wish saw a pacifist-turned-killer declare war on New York criminals after a gang of thugs murdered his wife and raped his daughter. While the film stirred up quite a bit of controversy back in the day, Death Wish was financially successful enough to spawn several sequels.
Now, over 40 years later, MGM has decided to remake the dirty and gritty thriller and possibly start a new series. Only this time, Bruce Willis will be playing the part of Paul Kersey instead of Charles Bronson, and Eli Roth will step behind the camera for the flick. According to Roth, we can expect to see Hostel-style torture scenes with "spectacular set pieces" on this remake, so get ready to lose your appetite.

An American Werewolf in London
An American Werewolf in London is the quintessential lycanthrope flick. So, Universal's upcoming remake has some pretty big pawprints to fill. David Alpert and Robert Kirkman of The Walking Dead fame are set to produce the new American Werewolf, bringing some serious horror cred to the project.
Meanwhile, Universal is keeping things in the family on the filmmaking side. Hoping to recapture the black magic of the original, the studio has brought out Max Landis, the son of the original's writer and director, John Landis', to pen the screenplay and helm the film. So, hopefully, this won't be just another bad moon movie on the rise.

The Great Outdoors
One of John Hughes' lesser-known scripting efforts, The Great Outdoors was a 1988 comedy starring John Candy as Chet Ripley, a Chicagoan who just wants to spend some time with his family out in the Wisconsin wilderness. Unfortunately, Chet's relaxing vacation was ruined when his annoying brother-in-law crashed the party with his own family in tow, leading to a series of escapades involving water skis, a giant steak, and a bald-headed bear.
Now, Universal Pictures is aiming to reboot the film with Kevin Hart on board to lead. Whether he plays Chet or his brother-in-law remains to be seen, but we can count on the funnyman to deliver some memorable moments and remind everyone what an underrated gem the original was.

Scarface
As one of Al Pacino's most acclaimed performances, it's no wonder fans are a bit skeptical about anyone touching Brian De Palma's 1983 film. But what most people don't know is that Scarface was actually a remake itself. The first Scarface was filmed in 1932, and it featured an Italian immigrant making a name for himself in the Chicago mob.
A couple of decades later, De Palma simply switched the setting to Miami, turned the main character into a Cuban, and created an all-time masterpiece. In keeping with the Scarface remake tradition, the new film will take place in Los Angeles and follow a Mexican immigrant's rise to power.
Diego Luna will play the main character, working with a screenplay written by Boardwalk Empire's Terence Winter and doctored by the Coen brothers. You might recall that the last time the sibling duo had anything to do with a script about drugs, murder, and Mexican cartels, it worked out pretty well, so maybe we should be optimistic
about Scarface's modern-day revival.

Starship Troopers
Directed by Paul Verhoeven, Starship Troopers has never gotten the same amount of love as the director's magnum opus, RoboCop, but it's still gained a sizable cult following over the years. The 1997 original followed a group of kids who join the military to fight bugs in outer space. Initially, the movie was misunderstood by quite a few critics, but these days, Troopers is widely recognized as a biting satire on fascism.
The original novel, written by Robert A. Heinlein, couldn't be more different. The book has a much more pro-war stance than the Verhoeven film, which means the upcoming remake will diverge significantly. Columbia Pictures hopes to bring kick off "a potential franchise" with a new Starship Troopers—but most importantly, the upcoming version will stick a lot closer to the novel.

Maniac Cop
Directed by the infamous William Lustig, 1988's Maniac Cop has been described as "schlocky" and "scummy"… and "actually kinda fun." The exploitation flick features Tom Atkins as a cop investigating a series of murders, Robert Z'Dar as a psychopathic police officer killing anyone in his path, and Bruce Campbell as an innocent cop caught in the middle. While the film wasn't exactly a critical hit, the slasher has picked up a cult following over the years.
The Maniac Cop remake has been in the works since 2012, but in 2015, things really started moving. Marvel and DC Comics writer Ed Brubaker is writing the script, with John Hyams directing. In March 2017, Variety reported that the film would start shooting this summer, although the remake isn't going to be exactly the same as Lustig's original B-picture.
This time, Maniac Cop will be more of a realistic thriller than a horror film, with Producer Nicolas Winding Refn telling Bloody Disgusting the new film will "serve as more of a commentary on modern day society" and the sometimes questionable actions of law enforcement. There's no word yet on who's starring, but whoever they pick, they'll probably pale in comparison to Campbell and Z'Dar…and least when it comes to their chins, anyway.

How do you come up with this shit OP, had me fucking howling, can you imagine if they actua -
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

All I feel is pain

This can't be real…please don't be real

Because that totally worked with the Ghostbusters remake didn't it? "Nasty Women" huh? That's subtle.

Also, no Ruprecht.


"Women are funny! Get over it! Gotta make sure white American men are cucked by the Spics!"


BLACKED


Might not be as a bad as we think. It's got Bruce Willis in it and Eli Roth isn't totally kosher. He did make Green Inferno after all.


The nepotism level is over 9000 with this one! John Landis's faggot son is sure to gay the remake up and feature a more "modern and progressive" London.


BLACKED AGAIN
Didn't they do enough damage with that Mike Epps Uncle Buck TV show!? Leave John Candy's corpse alone!


Of course it would be Los Angeles! "Mexican immigrant" as in some random Spic who jumped the fence instead of coming here legally. At least Tony Montana earned his green card.


If it's faithful to the book, we could have winner on our hands!


"BLACK LIVES MATTER! HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT! DINDU NUFFIN!"

>Death Wish by (((Eli Roth)))
How many Neo-Nazi villains will there be?

What, you mean that movie that made fun of white people for caring about the environment? Yeah, (((Roth))) is totally based.

A bunch of millennials who bitch about how all cultures are equal get eaten by savage cannibals

How is that not based?

people will be sleeping in the theater
for people who don't like subtitles
they've reached the bottom of the barrel and are now scraping up rust.

Why

WHY DON'T THEY JUST REMAKE JAWS AND E.T. WHILE THEY'RE AT IT?

...

Are they going to necro every single movie from the past?
For fucks sake, I know that you hollywood is a marxist den and have to revision everything into cultural marxism, but at least try to make 1/4 of new movies original.

Go back to Holla Forums and stay there kiddo

Don't you have a playpen to go to?
This place was made by exiles from 4cuck Holla Forums and Holla Forums.
YOU are the invader here. See pic. This is the level of welcome that you are entitled of here.

Honestly Holla Forums here has kind of turned to shit too, so I'm okay with Holla Forums shit outside of Holla Forums because of that. Like people make movie references on Holla Forums and /a/ all the time, why the fuck does everyone have to have a fit when it comes to politics? Boards are just supposed to be general stopping grounds and the conversation can flow naturally to whatever you want it to be.

/a/ isn't that powerful and now /hwndu/ is dead. Holla Forums is gay and should be a level lower.

I don't see why not, there isn't anything beyond them. They remade the classic Ben-Hur, they might as well remake Gone with the wind or Citizen Kane too.

/a/ has a shitton of traffic, but less than here

...

What does that accomplish? I know you're shitposting and I guess I'm responding, but I'm wondering why you feel this technique will be effective? I dunno dude I think I'm just burnt out on all this politics shitposting crap, I just want to be able to have a conversation with someone without it devolving into a meme spouting mess like it always does

Hollywood is creatively bankrupt.

...

Satirism is the lowest form of artistry if can it even be considered artistry, it doesn't create anything on its own it merely ridicules. It is a fundamentally jewish medium which does not present its own points but merely makes absurdities of the points others make by changing the context. Also it is telling that the left constantly praises itself for being "brave" while criticizing its opponents in media controlled and distributed by fellow leftists whether scifi literature in the 50s and 60s which they pretended needed to be couched as fiction despite them openly advocating their bullshit in congress and college or in a movie satirizing a political ideology without an extant state which practices it.

You seem exceedingly confused. Rehashing shit for a buck because original ideas have become too risky considering the sums of money involved is an age-old capitalist response to the naturally declining rate of profit on investment.

I wish there was an adaptation of Starship Troopers without that reddit/sarcastic tone.

I hope that the screenwriter of The Mist series will write all the remakes.
Only LGBTQ heroes or nothing.

Apparently it will be closer to the book, but I really liked the 1997.
He was able to push the envelope pretty far due to some change in the direction at Sony.
Discloser I saw the film in 1997 in theatres.


_€€€__^^€€€€€€____€€£€€_

The film was widely rejected in 1997. At the time, critics didn’t see the double narrative and panned the film for advocating the very the neo-Nazi tendencies Verhoeven and Neumeier were actively trying to skewer. Watching the film today, 19 years removed, it is hard to understand how people missed Verhoeven’s obvious satiric perspective, with its heightened artifice, campy performances, propaganda newsreels and clear references to Nazi flags and uniforms.

Verhoeven says the only reason he was able to get away with making the “most expensive art movie ever made,” was that during the two years he was making it Sony was going through tremendous turmoil in their executive ranks — constantly switching studio bosses, having gone from Marc Platt, to Mark Canton, to Bob Cooper to John Calley and Amy Pascal in a very short period.

“We succeeded to do this movie, that is so subversive, and politically incorrect [because] Sony changed [leadership] every three, four months,” said Verhoeven. “Nobody looked at the rushes [dailies] because they had no time because they were fired every three, four months. So we got away with it because nobody saw it.” Verhoeven added that once a Sony executive saw the film, she said to him, “but these are Nazi flags.” Verhoeven laughed, “I remember saying, ‘Yeah, but they are a different color, really.'”

Just when it seems like it can't get any worse, when (((they))) can't plumb the depths of laziness and creative bankruptcy any deeper, a list like this has to appear.

It will only be a matter of time until a new Die Hard cinematic reboot is announced. It will happen exactly 24 hours after Bruce Willis dies.

When this 'milestone' is reached, you will know the world has sunk to its lowest point. And no, despite the above list of remakes, they are not yet scraping the barrel. It will begin with the Oceans Eleven all female movie.

and they're still all kept in higher regard than Holla Forums

pop culture is eating itself, and that is good

why did I click on this thread?

We've also got It and Flatliners coming out this year.

You're a masochist?

...

oh boy


they already re-released it for shekels with CGI scenes spliced into it back in the 2000s
