Media Center>Name Movies that Should Never Be Remade
RINGLEADER 01:26 AM 08-05-2013
Recently had an opportunity to acquire rights to a classic film that I hold in such high regard I wouldn't want to even think about, let alone actually do, a remake or sequel. What movies would you consider off-limits for a remake or sequel?

Ugh, disregard. Just saw that it was remade in '97.

Yep. And Jack Lemmon was nominated for the Oscar for it. Apparently it was a good remake...

Gil's a sharp guy with a great vision, so I'm sure he'll do well with the material. Casting Rosemarie DeWitt was a stroke of genius because she has a similar aesthetic to JoBeth Williams.

And if Sam Rockwell comes aboard, look out.
Thing about Poltergeist is that it wasn't just scary, but it was also fun in a roller-coaster kind of way. Tough to duplicate that without a feeling that you're just ripping off the original (I know it's a remake, but needs to be different).

I sure hope so. He's a great guy with a nice résumé. Oscar nominated.
The first trailer looks pretty cool to me...
