Its sucks to be an “adult” these days. You know why? Because as an adult you
unfortunately get to see all of your favorite movies be remade in the name of
blatant greed.
On a personal level, this one takes the freaking cake! Bloody Disgusting
just reported that:
“Michael Bay spilled
the beans to Bloody-Disgusting about his upcoming horror projects with Platinum
Dunes. As of right now the plan is to remake the insane 1986 horror/thriller The
Hitcher.” In the original, which starred Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason
Leigh, a young man transporting a car to another state is stalked along the road
by a cunning and relentless serial killer who eventually frames the driver for a
string of murders. Chased by police and shadowed by the killer, the driver’s
only help comes from a truck stop waitress.
THE HITCHER
(brilliantly written by Eric Red and masterfully directed by Robert Harmon) is most likely my #1 flick of all time!
To me, it’s perfect the way it is on every, damn level! Much like
THE EVIL DEAD, it so doesn’t need to be remade! How depressing! At this point; they shouldn’t
call it the “movie business”, they should just call it the "business" where
its obviously not about making films anymore. It’s about delivering a product
with "name recognition" and making money. That’s it, that’s all. What a freaking waste! PWEY!
(that’s me spitting on this remake)
REMAKE, RE-IMAGINE and RECYCLE THIS!
