All Remakes All The Time

[bryant]

Stop hurting America!

Michael Bay’s production company is working on remakes of:

• Nightmare on Elm Street
• Friday the 13th
• Near Dark
• The Birds

Near Dark was just fine the way it was. Grrr. Who the hell is Samuel Bayer? I suppose I’m upset about Hitchcock remakes too.

I’m not really upset about Friday the 13th, though.Variationen von poker.

Has Bay done horror before? I can't imagine him doing a movie without lots of big explosions. And granted, while some horror movies can have big explosions, most of the good ones don't...

I can't say I've got any attachment to Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th, but Bay making horror movies just rubs me the wrong way. Particularly Hitchcock...Bay is sort of like...the Anti-Hitchcock.

I don't think he's attached to direct any of these -- it's just his production company.

Hm. I feel marginally better about that. Not much, though.
