Normally I hate remakes. Hate them. Despise them. Wish painful humiliating death upon their perpetrators. You get the idea- but this one could be an exception. Here’s why:

- The original was a B-movie- with B grade dialogue, B grade makeup, and some B grade acting. (still a cult classic, and one that I still torture my friends with, but a B movie nonetheless)

-For all its good points (The bubblegum line, the greatest fight scene of all time, my neocon friends all hate the obvious comparisons to the Bush Administration) there was some bad stuff too: I didn’t like the way Meg Foster’s character was written- nor did I buy how easily easily Roddy Piper’s character trusts her- For that matter, his character isn’t that well written either. But the worst was the recycled Ghostbusters prop. (You know which one)

I think there’s enough room for improvement in the original that there is a slim chance of them not ruining this one.

You kid, but don’t be surprised if his name get thrown around as a possible star, it does for everything else. This is the perfect movie for his trade marked “All Hell Na!” line. I can hear him saying it now after he see the first alien while wearing the glasses.

I loved Piper growing up saw him wrestle at numerous live events including wrestlemania 1 at madison square garden in NYC. I saw They Live 3 times in a theater. Really liked the film which was produced for just 3 million dollars. It looks great though. NO chance at sequel as Roddy has not kept himself in good shape. He’s put on a lot of weight and battled cancer( Hodgkins Lymphomia) in the last two years although I believe he’s cancer free now. He’s now 54 years old. By his own admission he was heavily on steroids during the filming of They Live so he would look in tip top shape which he did. While not a big fan of most remakes (Like the recently announced Arthur) Im interested in this one because it has a great concept.

I’d rather see a sequel like Brian, a remake is just something that this movie does not need. I mean come on the fight scene in the alley just so the guy would put on the glasses…classic!
