I really am getting bored of this, another remake. What the hell is going on. Since I started writing here most of my stories have been about remakes, there seems to be nothing but remakes. You’re saying it in your comments, and we’re saying it in the posts, where has the originality gone? Why is Hollywood regurgitating stories like mad? What is the reasoning behind it all?
I just considered listing all the remakes that are noted throughout the blog, but you know what, I can’t be bothered. There are loads, believe me, and it looks like there’s just more and more coming. Now we’re looking at the mini-series V. Yes, V. With the hamster eating lizards (awww, Diane was hot. Come on…didn’t you think she was hot? No…ahem…okay…move on.)
What is just as amazing is the return of some of the original cast, Just take a look at those credits confirmed. Jane Badler as Diana, Faye Grant as Dr. Juliet Parrish, Marc Singer as Mike Donovan and Robert Englund as Willie! It’s now so bad that they not only are making remakes by the bucket load, but they are going to start using the old casts as well as the scripts. Perhaps they are on the old contracts and at a fraction of the cost or something?!
Ah…hold the press. Not strictly a remake, it’s actually a sequel. Phew, well that makes all the difference. Perhaps I am being too harsh, maybe they are going to give it a good crack and it might be a really good sequel…what’s the feeling out there?
