Just thinking, with all the remakes of 80s films in the pipelines, like The Karate Kid, Footloose, Short Circuit and others, do u think there will ever b a Purple Rain remake?????

Just joking!!! I know that will never happen in a million years!!!!!

Prince would sue!! NO DOUBT!!

.....though I think Sanjaya would be a perfect "Kid"!!

On a serious note, why would Prince sue?? He doesnt own one stake in the film, or the soundtrack even though he wrote all the music for it!!! Warner Brothers owns the rights of Purple Rain lock, stock and barrel!!!!!

oh you ARE going to hell aren't you?...

RenHoek said:

Anyway, isnt Will Smiths son, Jaden Smith going 2 take the lead role?????

reneGade20 said:

It'll be just as much fun watching the dad bitch slap him to the ground as it is watching Prince.

I can maaaybe see "Footloose" cuz it'll probably be the stage musical version (kinda like with "Hairspray"), but "Karate Kid" and "Short Circuit"??? REALLY??

I can picture them remaking the Karate Kid & short circuit and fucking it up pretty badly. In the promos they will make it cool by saying "this aint your fathers Karate kid (or Short circuit)

johnart said:

Don't forget about Ghostbusters!!!

jockeyb4u said:

Are they remaking Ghostbusters? I thought the original cast was coming back for another sequel, not a remake.

kpowers said:

I've heard footloose is going to star Miley Cyrus and Zach Efron, so you know it will be good
And I think Short Circuits full title is "Short Circuit Revenge Of The Fallen"

Ghostbusters III is not a remake. It is a proper sequel.

Efan said:

I'm not sure, either way, I'm tired of sequels and I'm pretty sure the last Ghostbusters did leave any unanswered questions, so whats the point?

Mars23 said:

An unfortunately Ghostbusters 3 is only going to be a computer game and not a film

jockeyb4u said:

They should remake Star Wars but with an ALL Female cast...

Your forgot Clash of the Titans

My guy showed me the movie remake of "the Thomas Crown Affair". I thought it was really hot. after seeing both it was wise for them not to do the chess scene over-which was very very well done.

And the A-Team.

I also read that they are either going 2 do a remake or sequel of ET as well!!!

Damn!! is Hollywood running out of fresh movie ideas or something???

weren't there lots of rumours about a dirty dancing re-make.

the most pointless re-make of all time has to be Tom Cruise and 'open your eyes'

I'll continue missing the point of this thread by listing random movies and sequels instead of remakes.

But just to let you know Toy Story 3 will be out next year.

jockeyb4u said:

But fortunately Pixar RULES!!! So I'm looking forward to 3...

jockeyb4u said:

I cant wait for Toy Story 3

I also heard that they might be remaking Big.

jockeyb4u said:

I will throw poop at the screen.

johnart said:

Well you haven't heard the worse yet. Apparently there's going to be a plot change as well. The main character will now move into a small town that frowns upon huge gums and the characters rebel to show horse gums can be sexy! And at the end, Miley's dad teaches the whole school the "Achy Breaky"! Can't wait for it to come out on Imax!

jockeyb4u said:

You want to make my head explode.

Before y'all start hollerin' for a Karate Kid remake, please read this article. You might rethink it!!
