This too? oh no. Hollywood is such a joke these days.

btw isn't Rihanna already in the remake of "The Last Dragon"? It would be too much if she did this remake too...If they're gonna do it I hope it's NOT Rihanna, Beyonce, Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus and that girl from glee needs to be turned down too

In that case, get ready for the rumored remake of "Love Jones" delivered by the only man greenlit to make Black movies these days - Tyler Perry.

Hey, I am not laughing!!! Don't play like that.

Come on know, the one rule at a time when it comes to "us", "we" each get A decade. Tho', Mr. Perry can and does finance his on projects, he can pretty much do whatever; I think there's a lesson in there some where.

I'm FAR from kidding. Supposedly, the writer/director of Love Jones, Ted Witcher, is writing the script for it.

This sounds more like Beyonce's cup of tea because she likes playing a singer: Austin Powers, Fighting Temptations, Pink Panther, Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records...even that Carmen thing she did with Mos Def.

Rihanna has already said she doesn't want to start off playing a singerall the time. I think she's still filming her role as a Navy seawoman in "Battleship". Yeah that's "Battleship," as in the board game. lol

I don't think Jennifer Hudson has enough global appeal, sorry to say. I am more than curious as to how she does with the role of Winnie Mandela, though:

Why not Alicia Keys? She has a higher international profile.

Other than the soundtrack, the film was a boring piece of shit.

Next up, a remake of Undercover Brother.

Yeah that's why I'm not too upset over them remaking it. It sucked the first time around. Seriously seeing Whitney acting was like hearing a teacher scratch a chalkboard so you could wake up and get that day's lesson.

This remake idea is ridiculous but why stop here? Why not remake "Purple Rain" starring Drake and Nikki Minaj?

I thought they already did that with Eminem.

We don't even need to talk somethin' up that's should be DEAD should we?

At least that was a spoof, "The Bodyuard" was suppose to be a suspenseful drama.

watching someone nails grow on their toes would be more suspenseful.

I saw her in "The Secret Life of Bees" and thought she over-sold it, for real. But, I didn't find her Beyonce-bad, ya know?

I see.

A while back, it was common to make movies from TV shows:

Bewitched

Beverly Hillbillies

Wild Wild West

Brady Bunch 1 & 2

Scooby Doo

The Flintstones

Alvin & The Chipmunks

Speed Racer

Mission Impossible 1,2,3 and a fourth is supposed to be in production

I Spy

The whole Star Trek movie franchise, including the one from last year.

Dukes Of Hazzard

...plus many more.

Then there was the video game movie craze.

How about resurrecting long dead franchises? (Rambo, Rocky, Die Hard, Terminator, Batman, etc.) I've heard Eddie Murphy is planning to make a Beverly Hills Cop 4.

Asked by if she would be interested in The Bodyguard, Rihanna said: "Absolutely not. I want to separate the two. "Adding: "I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time because you can never look at them as anybody else."

Speaking more generally about her acting career, Rihanna said: “I want to play a character, my whole life is playing Rihanna, being a singer won’t be a stretch for me. I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else’s shoes, that’s the excitement." Rihanna will appear in new movie Battleship later this year.

So it's either Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson, I guess....or like I said, Alicia Keys.

News flash to Rihanna - playing a singer WOULD be a stretch for your simple ass!

They need to start remaking Asian movies again and come up with some new ideas.

The damn movie was only made in the 1990s. It's not old enough to need to be remade. The only films that should be even considered to be remade are the ones from the extreme early 1900s when the films were either silent or technology had not advanced enough to make them look even halfway realistic. Other than that, something from either the 1950s or 1960s on up to the present don't even need to be remade. Plus, when you remake something, you lose the feeling of the era that the original film was made in. I would even say leave the 1940s films alone also. Those different eras don't need to have their styles tampered with.

And besides, nobody could ever replace Shitney Houston's role in "The Bodyguard" because I can't think of anyone else that I'd like to see running for their life than her.

I wouldn't be surprised if the dumbasses were considering remaking "Purple Rain". I mean, they haven't got the good sense to know that the film, although it's fictional, is about Prince himself (not any other entertainer than Prince), his music, and his rivalry between local bands of the Minneapolis scene of the early 1980s. Those dumbasses would probably consider remaking it though and trying to modernize it so "today's viewers" could relate to it.

According to reports, the remake will have the same story line, but the bodyguard will be a former Iraq war veteran:

Actually, that sounds pretty interesting; more interesting than the original film anyway, don't get me wrong Whitney and Kevin were cool and had (some) chemistry but the script was absolutely tepid...

I wonder if they'll write NEW songs for the remake

"Rumor has it that Beyonce, Rihanna or Jennifer Hudson may be considered for the female role. "

Right now, I can only think of Sam Worthington and Rihanna...

Beyoncé???

Jennifer?

I think this remake is a dumb idea, but I'd watch it just to see Sam Worthington in the role.

Hell - to be honest, I'd watch anything with that guy in it, he's so hot.

But someone who makes music as weak as Beyonce would never be as successful as she was if Shitney had not opened the doors for weak shit to dominate in 1985.
