Keep Will Smith away from “Flowers for Algernon”!
Lets hope the Terminator auction doesn't go above $10 000, then Joss Whedon can have it.
How can you remake the classic, "My fair lady"? That is going to bomb. And, another Short Circuit after all these years? Are you kidding?
The first, Who framed Roger Rabbit is another classic that just can't be re-done. I wish them luck though.
If the movie, "Australia" doesn't get support from from the country Australia, then there's something wrong there. Maybe the movie, stank? Just my opinion of course.
Alec and Steve Martin hosting together, now that will be a hoot!
Now, why do they have to go and mess with The Howling? Those 80's movies were instant classics! Leave good movies alone, please.
They need some good ideas.. Here's a suggestion, make romance novels into movies!! There are some really great ones out there that would make fantastic plots for those hopeless romantics out there.
Hollywood, you listening?
