First Transformers 2 and now this. Are you this bankrupt Hollywood? Why can’t you simply make a fresh werewolf movie? Leave American Werewolf alone. It is still a great film. CGI will not make it better.
Nooooo! That movie is perfect as it is. Sigh.
make all the stoopid flix about robots you want but please leave the classics alone.
IS THERE NO ORIGINAL, ADEQUATE SCREENWRITER IN HOLLYWOOD LEFT?? Sequels, remakes, and adaptations (heavier on the first two). That’s all there’s left.
Stop it! I swear Hollywood is out to destroy every decent movie from my formative years. If they even try it with The Lost Boys, I will cut a b*tch!
Seriously? Why don’t they leave the good movies alone and remake the ones that sucked? Or, and I know this is a revolutionary idea…..WRITE SOMETHING NEW!But leave the classics alone.
Yeah, wasn’t this called “An American Werewolf in Paris”?
remakes, redos, reboots….hey hollywood how about you REFUND the money we will end up paying to see your movies. Dont get me wrong, some reboots are actually decent movies all in all…but find some originality or buy some for petes sake!! SHEESH!!
Anybody that screams bloody murder at the idea of this remake, please SHUT UP! The same people that cry tears of anguish will be the same people that line up when the movie comes out b/c the trailer looks awesome.
The hell you say!
Um, didn’t they do “An American Werewolf in Paris,” which was pretty much the same thing this film is trying to do (i.e. update the story)?
what’s wrong with his hand?
