They're Remaking "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

Somehow I doubt they will settle for following the original script. I foresee Tom Cruise and Will Smith blowing up the UFO, Gort going on a road trip with Tom Green and discovering his inner widget, and Klaatu will get arrested by INS during a raid on a Wal-Mart.

Why does Hollywood insist on remaking movies that don't need to be remade? :roll:

Because Hollywood, for the most part, is completely out of new creative ideas.

Klaatu is an illegal alien. He'll get free medical care and a job.

I thought the new War of the Worlds was awesome... But I DO agree that hollywood is out of ideas, it's really sad.

Just look at the new Rear Window hack-job, "Disturbia".. ::

I agree that its because hollywood is mostly out of ideas, but IMO at least - there are a lot of movies I'd really like to see get remade. I consider Superman Returns a remake and it was horrible, but I was hoping it was going to be good. War of worlds, as already mentioned, was obviously 10000x better then the original. Personally I can't stand the really really old movies, so King Kong was another that I liked.
