The Clash remake is getting a sequel...

Clash 2010 gets too much hate. It's actually BETTER then the first, but people have this butthurt hate of it because of nostalgia for the first one and its FX.

Honestly, 2010 had more of a Greek Epic feel.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

[Gojira-Fan]

I still hope that they are not remaking the Fly again.

Unless Cronenberg does it! A director remaking their remake? Minds will be blown!

Alfred Hitchcock did a remake of one of his earlier films once, I forget what it was though...

Hahahahahahahahaha.

You need to compare the films. The first is just boring in most parts with some mediocre acting. The 2nd isnt blockbuster or epic, but its better and holds your attention more in areas, especially IMHO the Medusa scene. And Im so glad they dropped the Perseus/Andromeda love angle.

I also remember that Rob Zombie was going to remake The Blob? What happen to that movie?

[zilla103192]

It was shelved so he can make whatever he is making/working on now.

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

They should remake all 6 original Universal Monster movies, (Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, etc.) Then have them all join up in 1 giant summer blockbuster-ish movie.

[Hellspawn28]

The Wolfman was remade last year and did not do very well at all as Universal hope for. A direct to video sequel was plan but looks like they are making a total new movie instead now. 20th Century Fox is making their own Frankenstein and they are making a 3D Dracula movie at the moment. I don't think Universal wants to remake any of their classic films at the moment.

Yeah, how about not?

Sounds like an interesting idea, but not something I hope for. Those are just a few more that don't need a remake. Remakes of entertaining classics like that tend to be...shitty.

But that's like the main thing about the original. Parseus goes on that long quest because of her. In the remake he barely even knows her. He has more of a relationship with that other chick.

Now that I've heard that I change my mind. I can't handle anymore 3D movies that aren't CGI kids movies.

His motivation in 2010 is to avenge the death of his family murdered by Hades.

In the original, Perseus sees Andromeda and falls in love with her at first sight and then gallops all over Greece acting like an idiot, killing things for his own selfish reasons.

2010 offered more complex plot points. Sure theyre not 20,000 fanthoms DEEP but theyre still better then the shallow plot of the original.

[the H-man cometh]

wasn't warner bros planning a creature from the black lagoon remake/update like a year or two ago?
I could have sworn I saw that in some movie magazine, but I havn't seen anything since sooo.... I'm geussing it was canned...if it was ever even gonna be made in the first place.

[The One and Only]

The Creature flick has been an off, and on again affair for well over thirty years now. It was on the verge of getting made with a script written by Gary Ross, the son of the original's writer. And Breck Eisner(The Crazies) in the director's seat. But due to a bunch of delays brought on by the Writer's Guild Strike put it on the back burner for the time being.

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

Sigh. The Creature is what Aquaman is to the Justice League, but to the original 6. Never gets any attention.

You barely get to know his family. You don't care when they die.

And bringing in Hades was stupid. Calibos was a better bad guy in the original.

[TokyoVigilante]

Since Disney pretty much has a monopoly on the "Pirate Themed Family Adventure" market, why not have Legendary Pictures dust of Seventh Voyage of Sinbad? It could be like Pirates of the Caribbean with more monsters. I'd be so down for that.

Calibos was half-assed in the movie. He had no tie to Perseus. He was transformed by Zeus in the original for hunting pegasuseseses (?). He was transformed in 2010 because he threw Dinae and Perseus into the sea at birth over jealousy.
