It’s official: Hollywood is out of ideas.

"Yeeaagh! I hate dis moofie!"

I’ve decided to compose a list of SOME of the movie remakes that either in production, or scheduled to go into production shortly below. Please keep in mind that I chose to completely omit any recent or past remakes such as Halloween or The Taking of Pelham 123.

Some of these remakes may be considered “reboots” (much like the recent Star Trek was), but for the most part, they’re authentic re-do’s of films that, in many cases, are less than 20 years old. The sad thing is, none of these films warrant a re-make. Many are strong films that still hold an important place in pop culture, and others are films so lousy, you wonder why they’re being remade at all.

For your information:

Cliffhanger
Total Recall
Drop Dead Fred
Fright Night
Robocop
Flight of the Navigator
The Last Starfighter
The Shadow
Conan the Barbarian
The Birds
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Warriors
Short Circuit
Dune
Footloose
Commando

…among others.
