Remakes!

Posted on February 28, 2009 at 8:00 am

“Worth a Mention’s” Howie Weed” reports that a number of remakes are in the works. New versions of “Total Recall,” based on a Philip K. Dick story, “Clash of the Titans,” and “The Never-Ending Story” are all in the works.
The upcoming “Race to Witch Mountain” is being billed as “a “modern re-imagining” of 1975’s “Escape to Witch Mountain, not a remake. I’m looking forward to seeing the actors who played the children in the original in cameo appearances. rtwm_pub_still_10_27.000023.jpg
Which remake do you wish had never been released? Is there a movie you’d like to see remade?

Great News from Pixar

Posted on February 23, 2009 at 8:00 am

Howie Weed of the industry newsletter “Worth a Mention” has some news very much worth a mention indeed. He reports that “‘Toy Story 3’ is definitely on its way (This eagerly awaited sequel will roll into theaters on June 10, 2010). As is ‘Cars 2’ (The Studio recently moved up its release date to June 24, 2011). But based on the questions that Pete Docter kept fielding at Saturday’s Up panel at New York Comic-Con, what the fanboys really want to know is when is ‘The Incredibles” sequel showing up?”
Not for a while. Writer/director Brad Bird is working on a live-action feature called “1906” about the San Francisco Earthquake, according to Weed. But after that we can hope for more from The Incredibles — can’t wait to see what Jack-Jack is up to!
