Anguish: Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures announced in February 2009 that it will remake this 1987 English-language Spanish film with a unique movie-within-a-movie concept about a killer stalking moviegoers watching a horror movie.

 

Art of the Devil: At the end of April 2008, Cerenzie-Peters Productions (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) bought the remake rights to this hit franchise from Thailand. Although each of the three entries thus far has featured a differennt storyline, the remake will focus on the second film's plot about a teacher who exacts gruesome supernatural revenge on students who expose her infidelity and kill her lover. Expect a 2010 release.

 

At the End of the Spectra: It was reported in August 2007 that Nicole Kidman was on board to star in this remake of the Colombian film Al Final del Espectro, about an agoraphobic woman who isolates herself in her new apartment, only to discover that it might be haunted. Looking at Kidman's schedule, it probably won't hit screens until at least 2011, but you can catch the original movie on HBO.

 

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: In March 2008, it was announced that the creators of askaninja.com were writing a script for this remake of the low-budget 1978 horror-comedy, but no further movement has been reported.

The Blob: After remaking Halloween in 2007, director Rob Zombie announced in August 2009 that he was turning his attention redoing the 1958 monster movie The Blob. No word on a date, but 2011 seems likely.

The Brood: A remake of this David Cronenberg killer kid film was announced in December 2009, with Breck Eisner (The Crazies) attached to direct. He has since dropped out, but the project is moving forward with a 2011 release planned.

 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In May 2009, it was reported that a "relaunch" of the vampire comedy was being considered, but the project remains in its earliest stages.

 

Child's Play: Things are very early at this stage, but if and when this landmark killer doll pic does get remade, it will come from the same people who started it -- namely, writer Don Mancini and producer David Kirschner -- something that can't be said about most other remakes. Don't expect to see anything before 2011.

 

Children of the Corn: As a made-for-TV remake of the 1984 Stephen King adaptation was preparing to air on SyFy in September 2009, a theatrical remake was announced by Dimension Films. No release date has been set, but Ehren Kruger (Scream 3, The Ring) has been tapped to write the script.

 

The Creature from the Black Lagoon: This remake was originally scheduled to debut in late 2008, before the remake of another Universal classic, The Wolfman, hits screens in 2009, but it appears to have been delayed by the writers' strike and is now scheduled tentatively for 2011. Creature was to be directed by Breck Eisner, but he dropped out, and commercial director Carl Rinsch has been rumored to take his place. Bill Paxton reportedly was to be featured but may have dropped out due to the delay.

 

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark: In May 2009, it was announced that Katie Holmes would star in a big-screen remake of the 1973 TV movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, in which a young girl discovers ominous creatures living in her father's home. Guy Pearce is set to co-star, with Guillermo del Toro producing and co-writing the script. A January 2011 release was planned until October 2010, when it was dropped from Miramax's schedule.

It will reportedly be shot in 3-D and is to be directed by Alex Winter, or Bill from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It's shooting in the summer of 2010, so it could see the light of day in 2011 -- probably direct to video, given a fairly low budget.

 

Hellraiser: A January 9, 2009, date was originally planned for the release of this dark Clive Barker tale of pain, pleasure and Pinhead, but that has been pushed back. A proposed script was reportedly rejected in October 2008, and Pascal Laugier, director of the French shocker Martyrs (itself in line for a remake), dropped out of the director's chair in the summer of 2009. A 2011 release is still targeted, but things seem pretty undecided right now.

 

The Host: In March 2007, Universal purchased the rights to this Korean monster movie, and by November 2008, Gore Verbinski (The Ring) was on board...to produce. First-time director Fredrik Bond is helming the film. Look for it sometime in 2010 or 2011.

 

The Howling: In the fall of 2009, a "reboot" of the long-running werewolf series was announced entitled: Howling: Reborn, which was reported to be taking a more youth-oriented storyline. A Halloween 2010 release is scheduled.

Også har man også Total Recall og Robocop

Jeg skal lage en remake av Avater, der folka er turkise i stede for blåe, jeg forventer at filmen vil koste 500 000 000 dollar og at den vil tjene innn ca. 3 milliarder,

[Hudrin]

eneste jeg venter på da er Evil dead..!

[Batnobbit]

Jeg er ganske lei av remakes, selvfølgelig noen filmer har veldig gode konsept og er desverre utført dårlig. Men det å remake en solid film som Evil Dead eller Halloween, nei det ser jeg virkelig ikke syn på.

[KjemikerJon]

Jeg har en følelse av at trådstarter prøver å skissere et problem her, men jeg har vansker for å se hva problemet faktisk er.

Slik er nå en gang i det pengestyrte Hollywood, det er vanskelig å få gjennomslag for nye konsepter fordi det innolverer så mye penger nå for tiden. Skal man lage noe helt nytt som ikke er basert på remake eller basert på en allerede eksisterende historie som blir tilpasset til film, bør man ha et solid fond bak seg. Cameron måtte si fra seg alt av sin del av inntjeningen på Avatar inntil filmen hadde dekket alt av investeringene, og med 10% minimum avkastning på de fleste investorer er det snakk om mye penger.

 

Så lenge jeg får en god film til å underholde meg så får det bare bli slik. De skal forøvrig spille inn "IT" igjen og.

[Goodbye]

Jeg begynner også å bli lei av remakes såvel som reboots. Skjønner ikke vitsen med nyinnspillinger av filmer som det ikke var noe i veien med i utgangspunktet...

[KjemikerJon]

Da er dette din lykkedag Stuten, for jeg sitter nemlig på en hel del kunnskap om emnet som jeg mer enn gjerne deler kostnadsfritt. Her har vi noen årsaker til fenomenet remakes:

 

1) Noen ønsker å tjene penger, og hva er vel bedre enn å oppdatere en historie man vet har fungert på et tidligere tidspunkt? Man slipper dessuten å ofre cash & kalorier på å finne på en ny fortelling, og man vet at uansett hvor mye buing filmen blir mottatt med av kritikerne vil ihvertfall en viss andel av originalfilmens fans komme seg opp av skinnsofaene og stikke en tur på kino.

 

2)Noen ønsker å fortelle en gammel historie på en ny måte. Utviklingen tvinger oss forbrukere til å skifte frisyrer, jeans og syn på seksuelle legninger, og filmmediet slipper ikke alltid unna tidens nådeløse tann . Vi pusser opp 80-tallskjøkkenene våre og trimmer puddelsveisen, så hvorfor skal ikke filmer få den samme oppussingen? Inn kommer filmfolk med visjonene sine og justerer på skruene for å få et gammelt maskineri til å putre igjen.

 

Løsningen på julenøtten her ligger altså i en kombinasjon av de to nevnte poengene, nemlig penger & visjoner.

[Olum]

Dere må huske på en ting. Originalfilmen blir ikke noe dårligere av at det lages en ræva remake. Se på remakes som en bonus. Er den god, er jo det bare fett. Om den suger, så kan dere bare glemme den.

[KjemikerJon]

Du snakker nok for døve ører. Merkelig nok så tror ellers middels opplyste mennesker at remakes infiltrerer originalfilmen og fysisk ødelegger den.

[Muggkaare]

99% av alle remakes suger noe så inni granhelvete, det er problemet, og spesielt om det er i utgangspunktet gode filmer som blir remade. Og nei, den infiltrerer ikke originalfilmen, men det viser mindre interesse i å satse på noe nytt, noe som igjen blir et tap for oss som liker film. Er haugevis av manus og ideer som kunne blitt fantastiske filmer, men siden hollywood ikke er interessert i å lage gode filmer så får vi heller filmer vi har sett før i ny drakt. Som regel dårligere.

 

Remakes kan være en veldig god ting, ta dårlige filmer med gode ideer, ikke filmer som allerede er bra.

[KjemikerJon]

Nei, for Hollywood har ikke spyttet ut en god film på mange år...

 

Det fleste av de oppgraderingene der er små prompeproduksjoner eller har allerede blitt utsatt eller sendt til en uviss skjebne på isen. Uten noe vitenskapelig data å backe meg opp vil jeg anta at de filmene der står for en ganske liten andel av produksjonselskapenes budsjetter.
