What's this about Bruckheimer doing a remake of "Clockwork Orange????" |
|
I have no link - - sorry
But I was told this has been greenlighted to appeal to a "younger" audience with a more "hip" reboot
WTF????

4. I can just see it - Shia Le Bouf as Alex |
|
Freddie Prinze Jr as Dr Ludovico
And in the end, the treatment works and everyone's happy and sings

It's still hip. They are well and truly out of ideas. I don't get it. There's lots of good books being published all the time. Why don't these people develop those stories?
Jerry Bruckheimer should think about doing Sense and Sensibility. Now, that would be something!

Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, ARRRRGH!!! It seems like one remake a year AT LEAST!!
I'd love to see some of Asimov's short stories put together in a movie the way Stephen King did in Tales of the Darkside or whatever it was called. Some of Asimov's stories give me major goosebumps. Poor Laika. :cry:

5. I am aware of no remake in the works but... |
|
I'm sure many will consider it blasphemy but I think it is a prime candidate for a remake. Now before you guys get your panties in a bunch and kill me, read the rest :D It would have to be a very hard "R" movie at the least, I would prefer it "unrated" in theaters. I see Terry Gilliam as the director (and of course writing the script)... not sure of the actors but done right, it could be an excellent film to remake. Now... if it were just some hip bruckheimer POS then no... no, that would be very wrong.

7. Not sure Gilliam would do that |
|
He's pretty against the whole idea of a remake anyway...
I wouldn't mind seeing it turned into a stage play, however, and have it stick closer to the original Burgess book and not the Kubrick movie...

But he is the only director I can think of that would do the material justice. And yes, going back to the source and not strictly re-make Kubrick would be much better. I don't know how it would work for the stage... for some reason I always think plays based on other medium I'm familiar with are going to suck but then when I see them they are often pretty good. I just have such a hard time picturing things on stage.

11. It don't think it's hyperbole to say that it might be the worst idea in the history of Hollywood. nt |

12. If this happens, somone deserves the deepest and hardest ass kicking ever given. |

The whole idea is bullshit on a million different levels.
1. It's a remake of a classic. 2. It's a remake of a Kubrick classic 3. It's a remake of a Kubrick classic with classic performances that are now infinitely bound to the work. 4. Making anything to appeal to a "younger" and "more hip" audience automatically means that you intend to shit all over the original version. 5. Anything with the Bruckheimer name attached to it sucks hot wet shit.
I could go on and on, but we all know that if some producer/marketer/focus group/etc. thinks it will make money the shit is getting made.

14. That should be really entertaining |
|
I look forward to Nurse Ratched being played by a 24 year old hottie with her tits hanging out.
I absolutely hate Jerry Bruckheimer.

Hollywood has official lost all sense of creativity, and has sold its soul.

17. hollywood doesn't have the pathos to recapture the essence of the moral tale involved in that story |
|
it will be reduced to stock memes, alex will probably have a love interest, he'll more than likely be a "troubled" bad guy we can identify with, and the extremes of brutality and sexual violence will be rendered as stock battle preparation montages and police/military hardon type shit.

18. I heard he was remaking Dr. Strangelove |
|
with Keanu Reeves reprising Peter Sellers' tour de force as Captain Mandrake, President Muffley & Dr. Strangelove. And Ashton Kutcher will play General Turgidson. Ted Nugent will play Major Kong.
