Crappy remakes and crappy sequels are coming to life!
Today is a bad day to be fans of the following films:
Terminator Films
Escape From New York
They found a director for Terminator 4: McG, who also did the Charlie's Angels films, and the so-so We Are Marshall film. Why can't they leave the film series away? I know it didn't go out with the bang many expected, but it was a decent ending to the franchise.
In the rumored Escaped From New York remake, Len Wiseman is off the film. You think that they would get a pretty good replace him, right? Well, Brett Ratner, the man whose claim to fame is the Rush Hour films and X-Men: The Last Stand. I know he did Red Dragon, but I liked Manhunter a lot more. I half expect to see Chris Tucker as The Duke of New York.
One more thing:
They are remaking The Dirty Dozen, and the script isn't looking that good. It's an updated version setting in modern times, and it doesn't look good.
