yeah, something like that. there's NEVER a shortage of ideas out there, the ideas are just never in the same place as the money.
and i'd be VERY surprised if more than one of these projects actually gets made. hollywood plans to remake shit all the time. studio heads spend millions of dollars making deals with various people & paying people to write scripts for projects that never get off the ground. for every movie that does happen, there's 20 that don't. remember the plans to remake 'casablanca', with sean penn playing rick?
