It's official, anything that's a remake can get financing. For those of you who never saw the Fred Ward - Joel Grey - Kate Mulgrew star vehicle that was Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, you missed out on one of the finer bad 80s movies/set of over 100 pulp novels. I think I had about 50 of them that I stole from my old man who thought they were awesome. They were horrible. And the movie was, if possible, worse. Joel Grey played a Korean martial arts expert with a Chinese accent. He could dodge bullets without having to be Keanu Reeves.
I can't wait for this movie.
Note also that the linked article suggests a remake of Robocop. What exactly was wrong with Paul Verhoeven's classic? But I will let that pass because there's also a remake coming of... Red Dawn!
WOLVERINES!

"Remo" and "Red Dawn" are 2 of my favorites from the 80's. Can't wait for new versions. If anyone can find it, they should check out the director's cut of "Robocop". Much gorier and funnier. I have only seed the DVD once, at a buddies house in Miami, and have not been able to find it in the 7 years since.
I liked the movies. Especially after a number of beers.
Remo: "That's it? In and out?"
MacCleary: "Like a duck mating."
RWTAB owns.
Amazing how those teenagers managed to mow down the soldiers (and throw a grenade in a 2 foot wide hatch from 75 feet above the APC) without harming any of the hostages who were standing directly behind the soldiers, in the line of fire, and only about 30 feet away.
Nice shooting, despite the from the hip spraying the kids were doing.
