Not many things more magnetic for me out there than killer fish. Bart, you really need to get out more... ;D The original was pretty good, one that I remember watching when I was a kid. Don't think I'd watch a remake though. |

He's already re-made "Pirahna" with William Katt...and it STUNK! You mean the Greatest American Hero couldn't even save it?! ;D Must've been the hair... |

When was that remake done? 1995. For cable TV. They re-made "Humanoids from the Deep" under the same circumstances too. |

I caught part of the original Humanoids on, like AMC or something about two months ago. It was very funny. But I couldn't just watch the last half. Have to wait for another time to watch it all! Remaking Piranha = wrong. |

Yeah, but I'd still watch that remake over the originals sequel. Flying piranha's, sorry. Not even James Cameron and Lance Henriksen could save that one.

In a news story in Variety about studios taking advantage of release dates (ie. "The Omen 666" to be released 06.06.06), the trade also reveals that a new Friday the 13th prequel featuring the origins of Jason Vorhees is targeted for Friday the 13th, October 2006.
New Line is rushing to make the prequel, although no confirmed details have been released. Previously, it was reported that Quentin Tarantino would have some involvement in the feature but those rumors were squashed by Tarantino himself.
Jason Vorhees was last seen in "Freddy vs Jason" in August 2003.  If they're "rushing" to do it it's probably going to be....not so good.

Yeah, I knew that one. It's been over the internet for a while now. Still, a theatrical Jason. That's more inviting than the fact that they have no cast, director, completed script or even a targeted rating. Ooh, I'm all giddy now.

The Omen remake will no doubt be total crap.

Well, they got Mia Farrow for Omen 666, didn't they? Who knows what they can do there... then again... The Omen remake with no Peck?

It'll probably be PG-13.
Or totally inspired by movies like "The Ring."
I'm boycotting it. But then again, I swore off all remakes after Kong.

Yeah, I'm similar to that, it's just theatrically supporting remakes. HHE may sway me, but I'm standing fast on everything else.

Yeah, unfortunately so. Coming out 06-06-06 (I know there's a joke there, but I'm not that funny.)

He spoke it – again and again – and seems they (in this case, New Line Cinema) decided to listen.
Robert Englund, best known as razor-nailed Freddy Krueger in the assiduous “A Nightmare On Elm Street” series, tells Bloody Disgusting that an idea he loved that teamed Krueger with “Halloween” scoundrel Michael Myers might be coming to fruition.
The studio has commissioned a “Freddy vs.Michael”, a team-up that Englund once mentioned would also bring back Jamie Lee Curtis’s (the female protagonist of the “Halloween” series) Laurie Strode.
Englund tells the site that the studio has also commissioned the “Nightmare on Elm Street” prequel, which will tell of Krueger’s days before he was burned at the stake and donned Christmas jumpers.
“New Line is committed to making at least one more Freddy movie. They have commissioned both a prequel and “Freddy vs. Jason vs. Michael Myers”. No word on which one they will actually make or when”, he tells.
Last year, Englund shot a pilot for a reality show called “Nightmare on Elm Street : Real Nightmares”, “in which contestants described their nightmares and then were challenged to confront their fears by being put in a situation that evoked their nightmares. For example: a woman scared of clowns was locked in a fun house and terrorized by clowns who appeared out of mirrors and down through the ceiling”, but the network decided not to pick it up. Apparently the new CW network might be giving it a reprieve.
Hmmmm..... The prequel sounds cool.
