When I read Tron 2 at the top I thought 'Oh No. Here we go again!' But that trailer in all it's crappy quality looks fantastic and then to have The Dude in it as well is the icing on the cake. There is so much more they can do these days with FX that it will look perfect, it's just whether the story holds up.
The Goonies 2 has been a rumour for many years but they could do a good job of it. As long as they don't do a 'passing the baton' type thing that I heard they were going to do.
As for the horror remakes then they are as pointless as the Halloween one. The originals are great that were ran into the ground and buried six feet under by a series of increasingly inferior sequels. Someone should put salt on them and set fire to them so that they can finally be laid to rest.
A sequel to Donnie Darko is about as needed as a sequel to Titanic.
So it looks like we should expect announcements about new versions of Body Snatchers, The Thing, Plan 9 From Outer Space and The Munsters.

I think Body Snatchers was already just remade. It had Nicole Kidman and was called "The Invasion" (haven't seen it yet but heard it was the remake).

Y'know, the inclusion of Sam & Dean would make just about any horror remake much more palatable. . .

Ok they simply cannot re-make Rocky Horror... Tim Curry is going to look ridiculous in that outfit now ( mind you I can't even fathom and refuse to allow the concept of someone besides Tim as Frankenfurter)
I loved Hellboy2 and Dark Knight, really didn't mind Indy
ok and I am so disturbed by the idea of a Candyman remake...come on Tony Todd rocks that part!

And at that, it was a remake of a remake! :)

Glad you got the reference.
I see a franchise being created.
The Winchesters Vs Freddy
The Winchesters Vs Jason
The Winchesters Vs Michael Myers
Hellraiser: The Winchesters Go To Hell
Sam And Dean Meet Dracula, The Wolfman And The Mummy

SOmeone is actually putting up cashy money for this stuff.
Put that money to good use with another Serenity flick.
All Hail the Whedon !

After watching Escape from NY and Escape from LA back to back in order to introduce the Fremgirl to Snake Plissken, I just gotta say it...
NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE, but Kurt Russel can possibly pull off the gratuitous over the top, larger than life badassery of Snake Plissken and actually MAKE IT WORK - anyone else tried and it would come off as cheese, bad cheese at that.
It's a very rare thing when they write and cast a part that absolutely, on paper, should NOT work - and yet somehow the actor they picked makes it not only work, but manages to make it exciting and entertaining.
Three examples.
Robin Williams as Genie (Alladin)
Lori Petty as Tank Girl (Tank Girl)
Kurt Russel as Snake Plissken (Escape)
I'll note for the record that the Fremgirl, who usually despises violent movies, actually liked the Escape stuff.
(two movies, one plot, bwahaha)
"Nobody moves, till this can... hits the ground."
But should they ever try a remake without Russel, they might as well shovel it to that hack Uwe Boll, cause ain't no WAY yer gonna get anything but crap.
On the other hand, should they ever make a movie of anything involving Metal Gear, you just GOT to stick Russel in there somewhere, he's freakin perfect for it.

It's wrong on so many levels...
