$5 says they remake this flick with Megan Fox


Remakes are so unnecessary. Sigh.

If they remade this film, no one would know it was remade.

So true. It's not like anyone saw the original to begin with.

A lot of people have seen it by now because although it was a flop at the box office, it has now become a cult favorite.

What makes you wanna give $5 away so badly? This film will never be remade.

I don't really mind Megan, she actually seems alright and is pretty hot. Honestly though, she would be a bad comparisson to a young Connelly. Megan would seem like a dumb trashy slut in comparisson to the charming and thoughtful young Connelly. Connelly was also an incredibly full figured and gracefully beautiful young woman. Megan is almost anorexic, flat, and boring to look at in comparisson. She also would have the 'tries too hard' look, where as Connelly is so natural. Jennifer also has way too many curves for Megan to even nearly compete with in my view. Connelly was still incrediblely hot well into her 30's, and is still a pretty good looking woman today even after a couple of kids. I seriously doubt Megan will hold up like that either.

Most remakes are so unnecessary, I agree. However there has been the odd exception. Very odd. The 1980's version of 'Of Mice And Men', and Scorsese's reversion of 'Cape Fear' are a couple that come to mind. Not that Scorsese's was better, but it was still a worthy version in my view.

My body's a cage, it's been used and abused...and I...LIKE IT!!

Fox doesn't have the flotation devices to keep this film afloat.

Would totally happen but I doubt it would do any worse theater wise as the original...and the concept is so random....even though it's a great movie.

is that maybe if that happens, a blu ray version of this movie would come out.I would even go see it just to make the chances higher.It be cool if they had both versions at theater like I saw happen to another movie, I bet this version would have way more ticket sales than the new one. ___

Hopefully, they will make it so that people will "get" the story.

It has little to do with other John Hughes movies.

It is really about two people who have an undiscovered talent and find each other. The talent has been on display, but no one in the town they live in recognizes it. The towns people do see something unusual about these two and call them "Liar" and "Tease" because they display this talent.
When two robber/killers enter the movie, that talent saves their lives and leads to the famous town where the movie ends, which is a town where people also have that particular talent.

It would be remade with Alexandra Daddario.
