If you haven’t gathered this by now we here at Red Carpet Crash are not the biggest fans of remakes, reboots or most any other recycling of previously made movies. In fact, I personally loathe them so much that our esteemed editor told me that I should avoid any profanity for at least the first [...]
MGM Shelves Poltergeist Remake… For Now.
News like this gives me hope for the future of moviemaking in Hollywood – not much but some. Bloody Disgusting.com is reporting that MGM has put the brakes on the Poltergeist remake. They cite the reason as being that there wasn’t enough time to make it by their previously quoted November 2010 release date. So, [...]

Flash Notes – September 24, 2009
Huh? Cronenberg to remake Cronenberg. Risky Biz Blog reports that, in a turn worthy of the most twisted sci-fi/horror logic, director David Cronenberg is in talks to reboot The Fly series. For those of you who might not remember, Cronenberg remade the 1958 sci-fi classic in 1986 with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. Yes, wrap [...]
Summit Books Highlander Remake
(Bear in mind: I’m going to try and make it through the next posting without any profanity. Set your bets, folks.) Summit Entertainment has lined director Justin Lin up with “Iron Man” writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway for a “re-imagining” of the 1986 Russell Mulcahy film “Highlander.” The original, written and directed by Mulcahy, [...]
Your First Look At ‘Kung Fu Kid’
There’s a simple reason the tag “remakes” has one of the highest post counts at Red Carpet Crash: there are too damned many remakes in production right now. Will Smith knows this, and is trying to trick us all with the remake of “The Karate Kid” by renaming it “Kung Fu Kid.” Sneaky, Big Willie, [...]
CGI Of The Living Dead
At least X-Men Origins: Wolverine was made with X-Men team involvement. Judging from the Hollywood Reporter story, it sounds like Night of the Living Dead: Origins will be less a prequel than a testing ground for new 3D CGI technologies. Since the original Night of the Living Dead is in the public domain, anyone wanting [...]

‘Rocky Horror’ Remake On Hold… Thankfully
A brief note on io9 posits that MTV’s proposed remake of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is on hold. There’s not a lot of details, other than their source saying that “it may take a while” to get back on track. This might be a good time to go off on a rant about how [...]
