Revenge of the Nerds Remake Poster

Revenge of the Nerds Remake PosterAs we mentioned almost 2 years ago, there is a re-make in the works for the classic “Revenge of the Nerds“. I have 2 problems with this. First of all it seems too soon to do a remake… and secondly (and most importantly) I think this is a stupid idea because “Nerds” doesn’t mean what it used to mean. Times have changed… the term “nerd” doesn’t carry the same stigma that it used to back in the glorious 80’s.

The thing is… way back when Revenge of the Nerds was out… we could associate with it. We either were those characters on screen… or we certainly knew them. The “Nerd” back then, is a slightly different creature than what is a “Nerd” today… and so is how they’re looked at and treated (just in my opinion).

I’m not saying it’s TOTALLY different now… but different nonetheless. I’m just not sure a movie like this can connect with the audience the same way the original did. To be honest… all this poster does (which is a pretty good poster by the way) is make me want to run out and rent the original Revenge of the Nerds… but it fails to get me at all interested in a remake. Just my thoughts.

What do you think of the poster? (Thanks to Jim for the heads up)
