As promising as that sounds, I'll still wait for the DVD--as I'm sure we're all aware, I've sworn off remakes after King Kong.
It does sound fairly interesting for a Craven film--for once.

Yeah, and it's good to see that R rating too.

As much as I love R-ratings,
I gotta admit, when I hear NC-17, I perk up like a dog that just saw a crippled rabbit.
I wish more filmmakers were willing to push the envelope to that NC-17 level. Maybe, if they drank more Mountain Dew, they'd be more X-TREME and willing to make more X-TREME movies.
Seems like a good theory to me...

I am also big fan of NC-17. Yes, I have seen some. "The Evil Dead," "Last Tango in Paris," "The Dreamers," "Henry and June," "Showgirls," "Crash," "Pink Flamingos," and very soon, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls."

Yeah, I think that fact is well-documented on here. ;D

Q, why are the previews I've been seeing for King Kong rate it PG-13? Is it changed back or was it always PG-13?

I think King Kong was planned from the start to be PG-13. I don't think the studio will invest so much money into that movie and then risk making it R--they'd be fearful of losing money from the younger audience.
At any rate, King Kong is a movie I think can survive just fine as a PG-13 film--the one in the 70's was PG.
It's not like their remaking, oh... say, The Fog from an R picture to a PG-13 one... Or Dawn of the Dead from an unrated, "X" equivalent to an R-rated remake...
I never doubted Kong would be anything other than PG-13. I mean, they have action figures for kids for the movie. They don't do that with R-rated features.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water after the hype surrounding the 30th anniversary of "Jaws" had subsided, a remake of the 1978 horror hit "Piranha" is coming to theaters soon.
Director Chuck Russell ("The Mask") is in talks to shoot the project, which will be distributed in North America by Dimension Films, the company behind the "Scream" franchise.
In the remake, written by Russell, the story is set in Lake Havasu, Ariz., which sits on a crater formed by a prehistoric volcanic eruption. When a tremor cracks the lake floor open, prehistoric piranhas are set loose and people begin to disappear.
The original, in which genetically altered piranhas are accidentally released in a holiday resort, was directed for B-movie maven Roger Corman by Joe Dante, who went on to shoot such films as "Gremlins" and "Small Soldiers."

He's already re-made "Pirahna" with William Katt...and it STUNK! Plus it used all the pirahna attacks from the original.
Modern horror bores me.

Well, sure - it will probably stink some. But this is the type of film I just have to watch, remake or not. Not many things more magnetic for me out there than killer fish.
