I feel betrayed!
They are remaking Fright Night and using a noted "Buffy" scribe.
"Mad Men" writer-producer Marti Noxon has been hired to pen DreamWorks Studios' revamp of the 1985 horror comedy "Fright Night." Before her work on AMC's "Mad Men," Noxon was a writer-producer on the bloodsucker series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," so fangs and stakes are in her blood.
Producers Michael De Luca, Michael Gaeta and Alison Rosenzweig set up the "Fright" project in May. DreamWorks executive Mark Sourian is overseeing for the studio.
Marti, why? This is wrong! Fright Night is a classic! The writer and director, Tom Holland vetoed this. I was at the L.A. screening of FN when he said a remake would be bad!
My heart is broken!

Face it, Hollywood has run out of new ideas and everything is a rehash of something else. Creativity is dead.
ReplyDeleteThis will never be as good as the original. I don't want to see a glossy CW version of this movie. And I bet that is what we get. Fright Night indeed!
ReplyDeleteV, they are pulling up any old, dead thing from the grave these days. It doesn't really matter whether it should be remade or not.
ReplyDeleteYou know I saw a movie again today and thought, this movie is still so great that it's a matter of time before they try to remake it and ruin it, Rosemary's Baby.
ReplyDeleteI think they should remake Fame - with zombies!
