Adam Berg Set To Helm Remake Of Cronenberg Classic VIDEODROME

No comments on this yet ?! Either way Face Palm .. Major Face Palm.

Cronenberg - he who thinks Superhero films are for an immature audience.

*hiss*

I wonder if he'll be able to squeeeeeeze past his principles enough to pick up his royalties cheque.

wtf is up with all the remakes, can't people make something new anymore?

This is seriously just getting ridiculous.

Erhen Kruger wrote it. That tells me all I need to know about the quality of this remake.

Personally, I can't wait for E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (The Reboot).

Omg. Such a great movie. The film actually predicts the future in an 80's kind of way.

On one hand I am sad because I love this film and I am a Cronenberg fan. I love him because he is honest to his vision as a director and I especially love the film because of so many of the issues it deals with is what I study academically.

I dont like the remake for many of the same reason listed above. but I always thought this movei Should be remade. I was always critical of the movie because I felt Cronenberg didnt do enough research on subject which made the film totally dated. He should have studied Moor'es law, the Law of Accelerating Returns, and read books from Alvin Toffler,Ray Kurzweil and ESPECIALLY Marshall McLuhan. Cronenberg only slightly hinted upon a much larger subject matter.

If the remake is smart enough, It could be one of the greatest stories ever told, and one of the most enlightening. Directly involving ideas like how 'the message is in the medium' and 'if it works, its obscolete' and the 'global village' and how media is just the extensions of mankind. SO many ideas. You couldnt tell if the being you were talking to comprised of many individuals or if the many beings in front of you were comprised of a single individual, much less what sex or percentage of human -if at all, you were talking to.

Actually if you ask any writer you will find out that each one of them have at least 15 unproduced screenplays with interesting and new ideas and unusual story, the problem with big studios. Big studios doesn't like to risk and shoot movies with original scripts 'cause they dont know will that film hit or not and that's why we have a LOT of remakes. They not gonna stop doing remakes until all(I mean ALL) remakes going to fail big way at box office. I'm not against remakes cause, you know, The THING-Scarface-True Lies...... But how many good remakes we have in this decade among of hundreds of them???

Oh and dont hate because he said superhero movies are for kids. Hes entitled to his opinion, even though I dont neccessarily agree with him. I think the reason we are all upset is because we all have people in our lives that think the same thing no matter how much we try to change that stereotype. hey...I just like being honest.

I bet the average poster age is 32 on this article.

Jeez.... Hollywood needs to focus on original ideas instead of remaking everything...

Intelligent points Keldor!
*applauds*

My post may seem angrier than it really is, I was jesting really although Cronenberg did make my fur bristle with annoyance at his initial comments.

This is completely unnecessary. The original is great and doesn't need updating. When will they be announcing The remakes of Clockwork Orange, Jaws, and Reservoir Dogs?

THE FLY was a remake, so Cronenberg himself isn't above remaking movies. Even if he is a hypocrite toward superheroes.

How is SCANNERS or THE FLY that different from X-MEN HULK? The only differences are tone, one is a horror movie, and the other is an action movie, but they're all based in sci fi.

Well that's just stupid. Now bring me my reboot of Altered States

Oops...Westworld!

I Agree Gaikinger!

Universal has decided to do a re-make of"Videdrome" . It just so happens SOUL wrote 2 songs specifically about this movie and here is a small tidbit of one of them.Unfortunately it's "LIVE" and not that great quality wise but if you have seen the original you'll get the drift of the song.An Awesome film with tidbits of the future to come or by now the future that has come and passed. I would LOVE to bring some Metal to the soundtracK for the new film. "Welcome to the New Flesh" SOUL .....Enjoy!
