WTF indeed

That feels a bit wrong tbh.. I'll probably end up watching it in some way or another.. but still, not sure I'm liking this..

Awesome! Nothing makes a film better than a shitty remake. Underscores how much the original rocked. Can't wait for this clusterfuck to land.

Shitty remake is better than a shitty sequel.

Colin, though? Seriously? Bruce Willis would easily do a better job.

No, no. Okay, here, I've got it. This is perfect:

Douglas Quaid / Hauser: Danny Bonaduce

Vilos Cohaagen (evil corporate dude): Donald Trump

Richter (Cohaagen's ruthless enforcer): Gary Busey

Lori (Quaid's blonde "wife" on Earth): Courtney Love

Tiffany (Hauser's racially ambiguous girlfriend on Mars): Snookie

George / Kuato (mutant with extra torso (Kuato) that is precognitive and telepathic with extrudes itself from his abdomen to dispense wisdom): Michael Moore (George) and Danny DeVito (Kuato)

Bennie (hustling mutant cab driver): Kanye West

Fat Lady (whose head explodes): Rosie O'Donnell

Not bad Boney. I would make one change. Instead of Rosie O'Donnell, I would cast Sally Strothers in the Fat Lady role.

Here. Look at this picture. Can't you just see that being Danny DeVito sticking out of Michael Moore's stomach? :lol:

Trump would be wrong for the role IMO. You're supposed to dislike the corporate dude.

Also, I like DeVito, so don't know that it'd be a good fit for a supposed-to-fail remake. Maybe the relatively unknown little person from Twin Peaks (backward dream scene) or Willy Wonka (Burton).

The movie was made around when I was born... and I saw it when I was in my teens (on Star movies). Would love to see the remake (reminds me of the good old days).

It was on the Japanese news this morning. They had a big segment on it. My wife wants to see it now, but I'm not really sold on it.

I don't like the lead guy, plus this is a remake of a movie which stared Ahnold. Totally blasphemous.
