Yes people, it is indeed true! ABC are planning on making a US version of one of the greatest British TV series of all time, Only Fools and Horses. The show played here in the UK from 1981 to 2003 and is possibly my favourite TV show. It has so many classic scenes (some of [...]
What the heck is going on here I hear you ask?! Well, I am wondering the same thing but according to The Guardian Channel 4 will be remaking the classic animation The Snowman based on the Raymond Briggs story that we’ve all seen on our screens for the last 30 years! This new version will [...]
Timecrimes is one of those films that restores your faith in original film-making. Just when time-travelling film concepts seem to have been done to death, along comes something new to breathe fresh life once again. In the original, Hector (Karra Elejalde) accidentally climbs into a time machine and travels back a short amount of time, [...]
Will Smith was once rumoured to be circling the role of protagonist in Spike Lee’s Oldboy remake, but that part seems to now be with Josh Brolin. Colin Firth had been much-mooted to take on the role of the villain of the piece (though it would be disheartening in the extreme to see the shades [...]
Max Borenstein has been confirmed to write the remake of Godzilla, THR reported this week, which is in development at Legendary Pictures. Borenstein, who just turned in his script for Art of the Steal for Warner Bros and producers Kevin McCormick and Zac Efron, is well acquainted with Legendary after working on the company’s Jimi [...]
Here we go again people! It’s Hollywood yet again admitting defeat when it comes to original ideas as we hear news that Alcon is to remake 1991 movie Point Break directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. I guess there is no way you can go wrong with an FBI agent [...]
While I’m still not entirely sold on the prospect of remaking The Evil Dead the news from Variety that Diablo Cody is being hired to revise the script warms the cockles a touch. Truth be told, though it’s probably movie geek blasphemy, when it comes down to it I’m more of a fan of Cody’s [...]
Believe it or not, it’s been just over 20 years since the final episode of Dallas aired in the US on 3 May 1991. It ran for 14 seasons which just shows how popular the show was. The show could do anything including resurrecting one of the key characters after they’d died! Amazing! Obviously real-life [...]
When Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was tapped to recreate the dark comic-book adaptation of The Crow, fans were a little skeptical of remaking what was already a well-received film. Now, according to Reuters, Bradley Cooper is in negotiations to star as Eric Draven, a role previously played by the late Brandon Lee, who died in a [...]
The 1955 Hitchcock thriller is perhaps not as revered as Psycho, Vertigo or Rear Window but it is a stylish, witty affair and the chemistry between Grace Kelly and Cary Grant is an absolute joy. It is a beautifully crafted film, a timepiece of a post-war, pre-60s Europe and it is the next film to [...]
Given its lucrative past, it stands to reason that Warner Bros would be keen to see what more they could extract from the Lethal Weapon cash cow. Shane Black (who wrote the script for the original and has more recently excelled with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) had drafted a treatment for LW5, using the original cast, [...]
After almost three months since the release of the first set pic from the Footloose remake, we are now graced with a picture Dennis Quaid as a rather annoyed Rev. Shaw Moore (played by John Lithgow in the original). The image comes to us via director Craig Brewer’s twitter, and most likely the editing room [...]
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest is an excellent film and you really should see it but there are several reasons why the idea of doing so may not yet have crossed your mind. As you’re probably already aware it’s based on the final book of the late Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy which I [...]
Here’s the first image from the new Judge Dredd movie, titled simply Dredd, and our first look at the Karl Urban chin. Taken from a rehersal and found on 2000ADonline by our friends at Bleeding Cool the size of Urban’s helmet is the subject of much discussion on the various forums and comment boards across [...]
According to Deadline, it seems that Paul Haggis, along with CBS Films, will be remaking one of my favorite prison films, Celda 211 (Cell 211), a Spanish prison drama that won multiple awards at the 2009 Goya Awards in Spain. This news upsets me because I don’t want to see Hollywood ruin another great film by [...]
Glee creator Ryan Murphy is no stranger to The Rocky Horror Show. Having just finished work on an episode of his hit show that pays homage to the classic, putting the ‘time warp’ in the capable hands of William McKinley High School’s Glee Club, Murphy has been approached by Fox 2000 regarding a remake of [...]
This is more of a poster update then anything as the all new Conan film starring Jason Momoa has recently had a poster makeover. While it was all but confirmed that the new Barbarian flick would be in 3D, the new poster for the film has made it very clear that it will, in fact, [...]
