Hollywood To Remake Vacation, Predator, Officially Kills Any Originality Left In Movies
Oct 7, 2009 08:29 AM
Remakes and re-boots have been all the rage in Hollywood over the last decade or so, but the announcement that Vacation is going to be remade by Wedding Crashers' David Dobkin, and Predator is going to be re-booted by Robert Rodriguez and starring Adrien Brody, proves that there is really no originality left in this town.
Ok, Vacation, which is going to be more of a sequel that focuses on Clark Griswold's son Rusty (originally played by Anthony Michael Hall) making a cross-country trip with his own family, seems like a no-brainer. And add the genius of director David Dobkin, and that's a movie I'll definitely see.
But Predator recently received the "re-boot" treatment in the form of the Alien Vs. Predator, and now they're going to re-boot it all over again starring Adrien Brody and produced by Robert Rodriguez? It could be great, or it could be a total disaster.
