How About An Original Idea?

A small rant about Hollywood these days . . .

What's with all the remakes??? News came out today that they are remaking the movie 'Highlander'. Now this is a classic and there was nothing wrong with the original - it's not even that old. This is just the latest in a long, very loooonnnggg list of remakes that are being worked on. Some of the other movies that are being remade:

Total Recall
The Neverending Story
The Karate Kid
Romancing the Stone
Footloose
The Dirty Dozen
Clash of the Titans
The Birds (didn't they learn from the Psycho remake not to touch a Hitchcock movie?)
Harvey
Beverly Hills Cop
Nightmare on Elm Street

All of these are fine just the way they are - people love them as much today as they did when they first came out. So why can't we get new stories to fall in love with?

Hollywood - stop thinking with your wallet and start dreaming again . . . if it's good, we will come.
