I personally am looking forward to The Crazies but there are a lot of films coming out this year. Which movie in 2010 are you looking forward to?

Lots of remakes this year.
The Fly, Piranha, Hellraiser, Gremlins, The Gate, Cabin in the Woods...
I probably won't pay to see any of these.
Nightmare on Elm Street is a strong possibility. SAW VII - I can't help myself.
Didn't like "Let The Right One In" so I probably won't see the American remake "Let Me In" since it'll suck (ha!) all of the tension from the original.

George's Intervention. I just found out about this one. But I'm also interested in Predators and I think it's called Mother's Day. It's a remake of a Troma film. I'm still waiting for the remake of Nuke 'Em High.

I can't believe there are so many remakes..I know I've bellyached about this before, but can't they please just come up with an original idea? I am mostly upset about the rip-off film "Repo-Men". Repo, the Genetic Opera is incredible and original and now hollywood is trying to make a buck by doing it their way. I don't care what anyone says, I would rather watch my Graverobber over Jude Law any day!
AND while I'm at it...a remake of Hellraiser?!? AARRRRRRRGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put this up on Twitter, but thought that you might get a chuckle. The sad thing about the remake is that there will be no singing. This is because Law + Whittaker do not = Head.
What pisses me off even more is the looks I'm going to get when people start talking about what an original idea it is and I have to correct them. You know the look, it's the same one you get when you point out that every half way decent program on network TV (and a lot of the crap ones) are based on a series which aired on the BBC a decade ago.
Of course, with Survivors Auntie is starting to mine her own video files...

Uhh, Repo is an original idea. The author wrote it years before there was a genetic opera. Sure, the ideas are very similar, but it's no different that Antz coming out the same year as A Bug's Life, Armageddon and Deep Impact, Volcano and Dante's Peak. Don't believe me? Here, take it from the producer's of Repo Men and the author: www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/43628 |

Not that I don't believe you, you're just going by what you have read, but I will steadfastly refuse to believe it's not a ripoff....just because I'm in a bad mood.  |

I got you. But the author did write it before 2002.

From what I've read on The Graverobber's site, it took nine years for the opera to get to the big screen, which was either 2006 or 2008 (both are listed on imdb.com but I also know it was play first). So it seems to me that Terrance Zdunich's work was written before the Jude Law flick.

I think it's safe to say that both authors penned before either movie was made so they independently came up with similar ideas. |
