| Well... |
Well it's about time. The US Navy needs another big, dumb, cinematic recruitment advert. Hmmm. Shame Tony Scott's back. I wish he could dial back that attention deficit editing. The writer of Bad Boys 2 is involved which suggests extremely dumb but fun action scenes that will... wait for it... TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY! I hope Val Kilmer can make an appearance. And the ghost of Goose. Heck why not?

| Wanna play? |
'original creators Don Mancini and David Kirschner are cooking up a remake that will stray from the more satiric leanings of recent sequels - the last one featured John Waters, after all – and go for "a darker and scarier retelling of the original film, but one that will offer new twists and turns."'

| Still terrifying? |
'This new episode in the long-running franchise will be titled Revenge Of Chucky, and will again focus on the killer doll's immediate family, in a similar vein to Bride Of Chucky and Seed Of Chucky.
As for the remake, Dourif indicated that original writer Don Mancini is still working on script, with the theme thought to be a lot lighter and comedic than the original.'

Well I hope they're wrong about the remake. I want to see Child's Play back to it's dark roots. I know it seems silly and ripe for comedic treatment but to me Chucky is still a little psycho and a terrifying alternative to Woody and Buzz coming alive when you're not watching.
What do you think readers? Does this news spell the end of the world or are you as excited as I am?
I've heard buzzings of the Top Gun sequel for a while and it saddens me!
ReplyDeleteHaha don't be sad! It MIGHT be good!
DeleteSeriously, Top Gun only worked in the 80's. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was the most awesome movie ever. But then a couple decades went by before I saw it again, and now I know how ridiculously bad it truly was lol.
ReplyDeleteSo if they try to recreate that cheesy factor, it could be a terrible idea.
Terribly brilliant?
DeleteI'm no fan of Top Gun, so best to move onto Chucky.... a remake (or rehash or rethinking or...whatever) of the original would be awesome. Another lame sequel would blow. Like you, the original trilogy are near and dear to my heart. In fact, the 3rd Child's Play was the first R-rated movie I ever saw. Changed my life.
ReplyDelete"Don't fuck with the Chuck." Love it.
Yeah I hope they forget the horror-comedy thing and go full on maniacal-doll-scary-as-shit Chucky! I was always a big fan of CP2 the most. The showdown in the factory and Chucky making his hand into a knife was aweome!
DeleteSequels I'm okay with, but remakes? Hmmm... would prefer not. But if they manage to make a good one, all is forgiven.
ReplyDeleteIn the case of Child's Play, I'm in the rare position of being more excited about a remake than a sequel.
DeleteWhat kids growing up in the 80s didn't love Top Gun! Now every time I hear the song 'Take My Breath Away' I always think of that sex scene, ahah. I wonder who's gonna play Maverick... he may be loco but Cruise was HOT back then with his killer smile!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I read apparently Cruise will reprise his role! So Maverick's going to back! Loco or not!
DeleteWow really? Well I'll be watching if that's the case. Will Val be back too? He's practically quadruple the size he was then though, I mean look at how skinny he was in that photo! :)
DeleteI HOPE they get Val back (though he might have to drop some pounds)! That would be awesome! 'You can be my wingman anytime'
DeleteWho would be the bogeys in a modern Top Gun, China?
ReplyDeleteYeah definitely China or maybe North Korea! Or they might just go down the Battleship route and have giant aliens spaceships.
DeleteHA I would love a Top Gun remake. be sooooo freaking cool.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one! Might ruin everything but at least we'll still have the original!
DeleteChild's play and Top Gun is a juxtaposition I wouldn't have expected to see in a million years! I suppose Tom Cruise better do Top Gun 2 before he gets too old...
ReplyDeleteTalking of the 80s, I heard Maniac Cop (1988) is likely going to be remade with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn as executive producer.
Ooh I've not see Maniac Cop but remember the VHS cover very clearly from my local rental store. Might have to give it a watch.
