A comprehensive list of mostly pointless remakes and spin-offs

[The Tomtrek]

I saw The Day the Earth Stood Still remake yesterday.


Was shit.

I heard it was really slow and boring, which I must admit was a surprise. I thought the CGI at least would be entertaining.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

The A-Team movie, coming soon!

[curiousa2z]

it's enough to make one cross.

OldBoy is being "re-made" ?

*facepalm*

Jesus Christ. What's next, Audition?

 

[CaptainWacky]

That A-Team movie has been rumoured for about ten years.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

And now the plan has finally come together.

The American version of Coupling

 

[Tisiphone]

They plan to Americanize "Absolutely Fabulous."

Who the hell is worthy enough to fill those shoes?

 

[Gagh]

Yep. TV Shows

American Versions
The Office (arguably not a waste of space)
Red Dwarf (about 3 failed pilots)
Life on Mars

Other TV Remakes
Minder
The Rise & Fall of Reginald Perrin

I really like the American Life on Mars. I loved the original, too.

 

[Tisiphone]

Yeah, Life on Mars is good...when I remember to watch it.

Please don't throw your shoes at me, but I'd almost like to see Brad Pitt and George Clooney do a remake of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Almost.

Oh, and I guess the "Ocean's Eleven" "remake" doesn't fall in here because it is radically different from the original--more like "The Sting", to tell the truth. But I would submit that "The Manchurian Candidate" remake was pointless. Although McCain was good in the Sinatra role.

*throws stiletto's at Volpone*

That's just blasphemy right there!

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'm sure there's been shitty british versions of american things...umm, I can't remember any but I know there has.

 

[chucklemeister]

Any of the other Highlander movies.

I'm sure there's been shitty british versions of american things...umm, I can't remember any but I know there has.

We had our shitty version of Japan's Hole in the Wall. That's a start.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It should exist only in the form of Harry Hill jokes.

*throws stiletto's at Volpone*

That's just blasphemy right there!

Admit it, Tis. You can just see Pitt, looking nervously over the cliff while readying his pistols and saying "I'M NOT DOING IT!" And Clooney going "Well why not!?" "...I can't swim!" "...:rofl: Hell, the fall'l probably kill ya!"
:bigass:
