Movie Prequels And More

Part Three of Upcoming Movies Series will cover all of the remakes and some ridiculous movies currently in production in Hollywood:

· Dredd – this could fall under the sequel section, but it’s a new cast and stars the underrated Karl Urban as Judge Dredd, who has to be better than Stallone, right?

· Mad Max – I can honestly say that I never saw any of the original films, so I don’t know if a remake is going to be worth much.

· Snow White and the Huntsmen – someone must have seen that they were doing a gritty Little Red Riding Hood and instantly wrote up an equally terrible script.

· Blade Runner – they still aren’t sure if this is going to be a remake, sequel, or prequel. Either way, that can’t be good for such a great original.

· Total Recall – I watched the original recently and it is eerie how similar its concept is to the movie Inception.

· The Little Mermaid – why call it the Little Mermaid, when clearly she is a young woman and not little at all.

· Monsters, Inc. Prequel – meh.

· Halo – this can only suck, the games are awesome and there is no way to translate that to the big screen.

· World War Z – this is based off of an awesome book written by Max Brooks (son of Mel Fucking Brooks of Spaceballs fame) and I suggest buying that book and his other book,The Zombie Survival Guide (see earlier post on the awesomeness of this book).

· Stretch Armstrong – yeah, they are actually making this movie.

· Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – what?!? This is real, people.

"Abraham Lincoln killing a vampire.  WHAT?!?"

Update - In between this post and the recent Movie Sequels post, Hollywood has announced a sequel to the 1988 hit comedy Twins.  Yeah, the one with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger (I find it amazing that spell-check is OK with that last name) , except this time they have another brother who will be played by Eddie Murphy, therefore the movie will naturally be called Triplets.  Come on Hollywood, you can do better than this.
