I totally agree with this and got a bit of flack from people for not liking the idea of it since the first poster photo. Let’s face it, Hollywood is predictable and even if it were an all man cast it would be the same rehashed jokes mixed with some modern pop culture references and CGI. While I am not entirely against remakes, I am against a studio taking a ground breaking movie and redoing it “the right way”.
You can not compare movies like Star Wars, Terminator, Indiana Jones, Aliens, and Evil Dead with the modern day remakes. They created a new thing that changed the game. They may not look as slick as the movies we make today, but they are a perfect blend of storytelling and creative effects. It’s like saying; “Jim Henson was good, but we have way better puppets now”. Yes, we have some amazing people making amazing puppets, but I bet you that every last one of them will tribute their success to Jim Henson.
If Hollywood wants to do more remakes, try doing them with franchises that did not do well because they were ahead of the times.
The Last Star fighter… why is this not a thing yet!!!
The Black Cauldron live action movie… From the books, not Disney.
Anyway, that is all I have to say about it.
