| | | A Tale of Two Sister re-make has been cast.
The original:
Playing the sisters:
Arielle Kebbel (this is the only fully-clothed, half-way decent picture I could find of her) 
Emily Browning 
Father:
David Strathairn 
Stepmother:
Elizabeth Banks 
I love David, and I've put up with crappy Ashley Judd films for him, but I'm not so sure about this one. |

| | | I wish they had picked a shittier film from the Tartan cinema catalogue, something that maybe could use some tweaking. The Wishing Stairs comes to mind. |

| | | I think we can agree that the only good horror remake (unless there's one out there I'm not thinking of) is Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1978 version.
The rest of them are purely a director's art wank.

| | | I don't know. I thought the Ring remake was quite good. Even better than the original if I may say so. And i'm looking forward to the new Halloween. It'll never come close to the orginal but it's not supposed to. Rob knows his place. |

| | | The Ring remake was good because the original blew. You can bank on being a Japanophile and pretend it was great, but really that director cemented his shittiness when he did the sequel. Whereas Gore Verbinski is ridiculously talented.
Tale of Two Sisters is one of the best horror flicks ever. There's no way I'll check out a remake. It could only be a letdown. Veto. |

| | Yeah, The Ring was good, nvm/.
But frankly I don't think this director has the sensibility to create a remake for this film.
BTW, the stepmother looks like the biggest character letdown. She's probably going to be all obvious and Mommie Dearest about it.

The only other good horror re-make I can throw in is The Fly. These days, however, there are no newly established horror film directors that can make a worthwhile film, other than Rob Zombie; and that's because he has respect for what he's doing and for the genre. And as much as people are wanting to boycott seeing his Halloween, I'm going to continue to throw money at him (as I've always done) because I want him to keep up with it and I prefer supporting his work over that of some guy I never heard of casting people no one cares about in something that never should've never been attempted.
I'm all ranty and incoherent right, so I'll stop now.  |

I'm all ranty and incoherent right, so I'll stop now. | Halloween is a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it and never should've been attempted. I've seen the remake now and still say it. That thing's been done to death. The first one (maybe even two) and should've stopped there.
Especially since there are plenty of old horror movies that maybe had a good premise going in, but the execution sucked. (Terrible acting etc.) I'd much rather have seen them let Rob loose on a remake of The Car (Which hasn't been done but really,really needs it), for example than a movie that has stood very well on it's own the first time around. |

| | | actually jazzed about this.
i mean i'm sure they'll make a stupid slasher flick instead if they didn't have this modern classic to pull from. |
