It’s Raining Remakes. Trade Roughage 7/18/08

Under discussion:

10  (1979)

Batman  (1989)

Papillon  (1973)

Valley Girl  (1983)

Schindler's List  (1993)

Gladiator  (2000)

The Dark Knight  (2008)

  • Blake Edwards will exec produce a redo of his 1979 comedy 10 along with son Geoffrey, who was an assistant editor on the original. I’d ask what young starlet you’d most like to see in cornrows, but of course a newcomer is being sought to fill the iconic Bo Derek role.
  • A new version of Papillon, or at least a new adaptation of Henri Charriere’s autobiography, will be produced by two-time Oscar winner Branko Lustig (Schindler’s List; Gladiator). Could a remake receive more love from the Academy than did the original? It’s been done before…
  • Like, totally bitchin: MGM is developing a musical remake of Valley Girl. Isn’t the ’80s music nostalgia thing over yet?
  • The “remake” of Tim Burton’s Batman (don’t you remember this video?) is now in theaters, and blah blah blah record-breaking theater count blah blah blah possible record-breaking non-holiday weekend gross blah blah blah, as Karina would put it.
