It is finally official. Warner Bros. recently bought the rights the ever popular 60's comedy, were a couple of odd and interesting characters get stranded on an island. Long time fans will either love this, or hate this. Because the remake will mean re-making the script so it's a bit more modern, and getting the storyline so it's up to the 21st century.
Big names in Hollywood would nice to have in the movie, but a remake for such a big show like this requires getting the right person for each...not just slapping some Hollywood heavy weight in it just to get more publicity. This movie might be good with new people that are talented, or maybe some really good unknowns that will wow us.
One thing is definitely for sure. The critics will be watching this production very closely, as they with all remakes, and wait for the moment when they find the fatal flaw and tear the film to shreds. Expect this movie to probably hit theater's sometime in 2011.
And with remakes hitting the box office, does this spark off debate about other old time shows getting Hollywood movie remake? Some shows to think about are Love Boat, The Beverly Hillbilly's, and the Brady Bunch. One show that was remade was nearly a major flop and now run's on TBS several times a year (never a good sign for any movie)...Nicole Kidman was great, but it was Will Farrell that turned me away with his awkward personality and weird humor. Let's just say some remakes just don't do the original any justice.
So here is my question - What show would you like to see remade, may it be past or just ended a couple years ago?
