There was a time when remakes were announced and I was genuinely surprised to hear they were happening. That was about 3 years ago. Now, in todays wacky remake-infested world, a world were flicks like PROM NIGHT is made into a PG-13 “shocker,” and FRIDAY THE 13TH‘s head is up on the remake chopping block as well, nothing surprises me. Not even this morning, when I learned that the 1980 classic MOTHER’S DAY is now in talks for the remake treatment.
Oh, but it gets better than that! According to STYD, Brett “I ruined the X-MEN franchise” Ratner is at the fore-front of efforts trying to get the movie remade, though (lucky for us), he only wants to produce and not direct.
Only in a f*cked up world would I learn that MOTHER’S DAY is being remade with Ratner producing and I’m simply not surprised one tiny bit. That sucks. STYD also reports that a certain director may be attached, a director you and I have entrusted over the last three years with three SAW sequels… to check out who that director is, do yourself a favor and click HERE for the full scoop.
A remake of MOTHER’S DAY, eh? Of course, nothing is 100% confirmed or official, but STYD’s sources sound legit, so I’ll just assume it’s true… but will wait for it to become official before I get too excited. Lots of things change, deals fall through all the time, and this… this may be one of them.
MOTHER’S DAY remake–yay or nay? Spit some bullets below on your thoughs, and stick around for more updates as they’re announced!
