WarGames Remake, Really?
Bite me if repost


Quote:
Global thermonuclear war is coming back to a theater near you. And, fittingly, a gamer is helping make it happen.

Deadline reports that the 1983 film ‘WarGames' is getting rebooted by MGM, who have tapped Seth Gordon -- the man behind the acclaimed video game documentary ‘The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' -- to direct.

It's great news for fans of the original. Starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy, ‘WarGames' tells the story of a young computer geek who hacks into a government network to play some games and accidentally triggers World War III. Not only was it one of the first mainstream Hollywood hits to tap into the burgeoning field of tech hacking and online gaming (it's even been credited as the first film to reference the security term "firewall"), but it was also Broderick's first big hit, predating ‘Ferris Bueller's Day Off' by a good three years. A direct-to-video sequel was released in 2008, but count yourself lucky if you missed it.

Gordon, meanwhile, endeared himself to gamers with his breakthrough 2007 documentary about competing Donkey Kong players. His latest work, the comedy ‘Horrible Bosses', opens July 8th.

‘WarGames' joins a host of other MGM reboots being planned out, including new takes on ‘Mr. Mom.' ‘RoboCop' and ‘Poltergeist.'

My only real problem with remakes is when people stop watching the original when it is almost always superior. Hollywood is always going to make shitty movies of some kind or another. The fact that they make a great or beloved movie doesn't degrade the quality of the original, IMO.

Pretty sure that's right. The original guys are back for it. Not sure how big their part will be.

With the original cast? That might have potential if Dan Akroyd can still fit in ECTO-1

There will be new guys too, I think. Last I heard it was going to be a "passing of the torch" sort of thing.

I really have no problem with that. I pray to god its not a Blues Brothers 2000. That was the biggest let down EVER. The first Blues Brothers is my favorite movie of all time.

I have a sick feeling that's what we're gonna get. I would love to see another legitimately great Ghostbusters movie.
