Why does it need a remake? The original is still good. Not like they're going to find someone who can outdo the performance of the great David Warner.

So many great roles.

That random in Star Trek 5 that nobody talks about - the character or the film 🙄, Gorkon in Star Trek 6, Ra's Al Ghul in the DCAU, Master Control in TRON, Joneleth motherfucking Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2.

Next they'll make Baron Munchausen a Pygmy Tranny.

There is no one in Hollywood creative enough to tackle that magnum opus by Gilliam. Even for its time the effects were quite amazing (though, to be fair I haven't seen it in decades and maybe they don't hold up, but when it came out it was quite the spectacle). They would end up "diversifying" it as much as they could, but it's far too layered and witty; and dumbing it down wouldn't be worth it, which is probably why it has never been on the docket for a remake.

I watched it again a couple of years ago and it was refreshing to see a film without CGI and with it's own style. Originality is taboo in hollyweird these days

As if little people don't have enough trouble finding avenues for work, I guess acting is about to become out of reach.

Put the cookie jar of acting gigs on the top shelf.

Teehee, we're being inclusive.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Jesus. What a bunch of depraved hacks. Stop looting corpses and write something new.

DOA. If they are pulling pussy moves like that from the get-go, you know there will be no creative choices. Just corporate choices.

I look forward to more complaining about 1980's consumerism.

Is the new one going to be about a mary sue who travels through space and time imposing "modern values" on everyone while saving a gang of bandits (including a dumb white male) from every situation? And the Evil Genius, who sports an orange tan and golden hair, is continually outsmarted by her until she just kills him at the end?

Only gay actors can play gay roles. We need more gay characters.

Only black actors can play black roles. We need more black characters.

We can't show little people on the screen - that demeans little people.

I... I can't even... the pure NPC mindlessness of these retards.
