1997 Denise Richards and Dina Meyer absolutely mog any actress working right now. I'd say both of them are at least 9s.
Clearly there are scores of other reasons any remake is doomed, but that's the most obvious one. In the age of DEI, superhumanly attractive women are extinct.
I like the format of "It will fail because....."
We should have a weekly it will fail/did fail because post.
The remake will fail because they will make it to meta, making a movie that exists to mostly mock the original movie and it's fans. It will be another Joker 2 with them pointing out how retarded and bigoted the audience was, and making it perfectly clear you liked the wrong stuff.
