Come on Hollywood
I just looked up ‘remakes’ on Google and
I couldn’t believe what I saw! There are at least FIFTY movies they are going
to remake. That is outrageous. There are
so many talented writers out there that would be more than happy to let
Just offhand they are remaking: Dirty Dancing, Dredd, Birds, Romancing the
Stone, The Bodyguard, Scarface, Short Circuit, and that’s just to name a
few[1]!
Is there not an original brain left in Hollywood
It seems to me that while there is an
endless supply of novels and screenplays already waiting to be written or that
have been written; there are no takers. Why is that[3]?
Just because Dirty Dancing or The Birds was good the first time doesn’t
mean it will be a second. The main reason those movies and others like it were
such hits were because of the casts they had. The setting and the script.
I’ve even heard that there are plans to
remake I Love Lucy and many of our
favorite classics. Again, Hollywood, it was the circumstances surrounding the
original casts, crews, and writers that made the shows what they were. You’ll
never find another Lucy! I mean, Hawaii
Please leave our classics where they
belong and let sleeping dogs lie. Come up with something original and new.
Fresh. It doesn’t even need to be cutting edge. You know that not everything
has to be 3D, don’t you?
That is all.
