    Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones seems like good fit. Infinitely preferable to what was foreshadowed in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    Apparently one of my favourite films has a remake on the way: Near Dark.

    It’ll be shit.

    I’m amazed no-one’s remade E.T. yet. Or Goonies

    Near Dark is a brilliant film. Far from perfect but brilliant all the same. There’s no reason why it necessarily has to be shit, but based on recent remakes, yeah, it’ll be shit.

    Oh I’d say they’ll get around to it, but my guess would be that studios are looking to remake films they can turn into power house franchises with numerous sequels. E.T. and The Goonies had fully realised stories and didn’t spawn sequels.

    E.T. could easily have a sequel, after all he just flew off into space at the end.

    “E.T. – The Revenge” – E.T. returns to Earth to exact his bloody revenge on those who tormented him on his first visit.

    Ahem… Goonies sequel

    Pratt wanted to do Ghostbusters with Channing Tatum apparently.

    What they’ve got lined-up should be good though – talented, funny people involved.

    Can’t see a problem with either of these, apart from the lack of imagination implicit in a reboot.

    I reckon a Paul Feig Ghostbusters with Kristin Wiig, Melissa Mccarthy and Kate Mckinnon* has the potential to be awesome to be honest and t least you can be pretty confident it’s going to be something different rather than a dodgy aping of the original..

    *and Leslie Jones but I know nothing about her

    Can’t see a problem with the new BSG and the new Starbuck – she was every bit the cigar-chomping voracious horizontalist with a healthy disrespect for authority that Dirk Benedict was, plus she managed to not come across as a bit off a smug bellsniff. I strongly suspect that if old and new Starbucks had a punch up, new Starbuck would win.

    As for the others, I sat through the reboots of Total Recall and Robocop. Neither brought anything new to the story that the originals lacked, aside from a massively increased SFX budget.

    Buck Rogers? Hmm…no living woman today will ever come close to the perfection (in my seven year old eyes at least) of Wilma Deering.

    In the back pages of a lads mag there was a classic remake of Saving Private Ryan.
    It was called Shaving Ryan’s Privates.

    I love the quote on the BBC website about the Ghostbusters film

    Plans for a follow-up have been mooted ever since, but appeared to have been scuppered by Murray’s reluctance to sign up for it.

    Harold Ramis’s death last year appeared to make it an even unlikelier prospect.

    I’d kinda say impossible, seeing as he’s dead!

    If they could get Harold Ramis back as an actual ghost, they could write their own pay cheques 🙂

    Indeed, when I watched the film (the Spielberg one) with my son I kept calling it that. He was amused.

    Not all reboots are bad. Ok Sly’s Dredd was awful but Karl Urban’s was pretty good. Fairly low budget as well.

    As long as they don’t try to resurrect past their prime sitcoms like Open all hours or Birds of a feather we should be OK.

    Regarding BSG – Starbuck and Facebuck are both…well, y’know…a bit phwoar!

    As are both incarnations of the bots, obviously.

    A face-off between the two Starbucks would almost certainly result in Face needing a new one. 😉

    I never watched TMGTNMT in the 80s, but cartoon April exceeds the nork/head size ratio by quite some margin.

    E.T. and The Goonies had fully realised stories and didn’t spawn sequels.

    Speilberg wrote a pitch for an ET sequel, William Kotzwinkle did a (different) follow-on novel which I don’t remember much about but seemed to be mostly about stockholm syndrome, PTSD, and the crushing disappointment of normal life.

    Forget about old reboots, they’re rebooting the fantastic 4, the last film in that series was only 7 years ago.
