It was shite in a good way though. I watched it recently and it was still very entertaining, unlike a lot of my childhood loved films which are just shit now.

Yet again, the fookin movie industry struggles to come up with an original idea. Remake, remake, remake...I'm sick of it.

this film is probably going to cost sweet fa to remake. mr chan probably isn't going to be on a huge wage either. they'll slap in some poor unknown sap that will work for peanuts. it should be a quick shoot.
it's difficult to see how this will fail to make a profit unless they really mess things up. i'd imagine it will be generate a fairly nice return on investment for those financing it.

"He’s a teenage Dr. Frankenstein in a modern-day younger world, filled with sometimes terrifying scientific intrigue."
Why for the love of god why? Why are the movie and TV industry constantly working to alienate me these days? What the hell did I do to them?

It's a complete waste of the money and talent that could be put to better use funding original, exciting new films as opposed to remakes of ones that weren't that great in the first place.
Still don't see a problem with remakes at all; if you don't like the idea of them, don't watch them, simple.
I know Hollywood is driven by money and remakes represent a cheaper initial outlay no doubt, and quicker pre-production time or something, but it's still a total waste. -

Registered 9 years agoIt's not really a total waste, is it. The film could perfectly well be very good. Anyone damning remakes just because they're remakes is an idiot. Practically every film in existence is a 'remake' of an already existing story in one form or another anyway. -

Registered 6 years agoHmm, if Ridley Scott is involved then I suppose it could actually be really good. I'd rather a prequel than a reboot though, the universe is great as it is imo. -

Registered 11 years agoTBH no one's ever going to do a decent Space Marines / Aliens redux, so they might as well go back and do an Alien-esque origin story or reboot.
Ridley Scott's involvement should at least keep the likes of Paul Anderson etc away from the fucking thing. -

Not an actual remake but apparently Ridley Scott is considering a Alien prequel/reboot.

That's a good point about how many films are remakes of an existing story, but it's also deliberately argumentative as that's blatantly not what's being discussed.

The more relevant point about how it could be great is also correct, but it still doesn't change the fact that there's some absolutely superb original scripts gagging to be filmed, and writers desperate to be given a chance, etc, and cranking out remakes happens at their expense.
I'm not damning remakes just because they're remakes: I had a very valid point, that remakes get made at the expense of new films and scripts. I can't see how you can argue that point. Even if it's a good remake, it's still a remake and there's still a different, new film that's not been made because the money was piled into the remake instead. -

Also: so what? If it's a good film (bearing in mind that a good remake can easily fill the criteria of 'different and new') then it was a good idea, regardless of where the script came from. -

Yeah but you're still looking at it purely from a "will I be entertained in the short term?" point of view as opposed to the "will the film industry be in any way benefitted by this film in the long term?" point of view, which is a clumsy way of trying to say that new films from new scripts have a chance to do new things and break new ground, whereas remakes, by and large, won't.
I mean I know this is broad brush strokes but I'd prefer to see a really cool new film than one in which I know full well what's going to happen, even if it's all shiny and new and slightly updated. -
