The most unnecessary remake since Death at Funeral


I wonder if this is going to be a new thing with Hollywood. Take a decent film that came out two or three years ago and change the race or gender of the entire cast and then act like it's an original film.

Kinda like what they're doing for the new/remake of Ghostbusters. Three white women & 1 black woman.

1. Hollywood has been doing this forever.
2. Isn't that apart of acting though different interpretations
3. This is not a remake, since there are black "dance reviews/troupes" and white "dance reviews/troups" They prefer to be called this so I'll go with that.
4. Do we really need another Romeo and Juliet movie, No, are they going to make more and more until the end of time... YES!'

They're will always be excess skin movies, always shakespeare movies, and each audience and generation will have their own experience, and at some point no one will care about Romeo and Juliet because they have seen the same story or read it 1 to many times until you wonder why in the world is this such a honored story. It's kind a stupid, you have the balls to kill yourselves but to not run away, seriously!! I mean if you don't fear death then why don't you just be together anyway??

As I asked my grade 10 teacher after we had to read this story "What was the point?"
