What the hell is going on around here? The fact that a remake of 2008’s MARTYRS is in the works is blasphemous, and now it appears as if the slap to the face just got harder.
FearNET sat down with ECLIPSE producer Wyck Godfrey at a recent press junket, and this is what he had to say about MARTYRS and his plans for remaking it: I love that movie, [although] I think it’s not remake-able in its form for an American audience. But the core elements of it are fascinating. I love the cult and what it’s about, and I’m also obsessed with the nature of childhood friends — growing up when one doesn’t believe the other one and the corruption between that. I’m excited… I would love for Kristen to do it…
As in Kirsten Stewart, his star of the TWILIGHT SAGA. Bugh… I don’t even know what to say about this guy’s statement, other than, if they can’t remake it for American audiences, why are they remaking it? And why the f*ck would you cast Stewart? Yes, she’s American, but there has to be someone (anyone) better fit for the role. Has the whole world gone crazy???
I’m glad Godfrey loves the original, but methinks he’s full of shit. If he loved it, he wouldn’t want to remake it… right? To check out the full scoop, click HERE, and get ready for TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE in theaters everywhere June 30, 2010.
