- Today action star Jason Statham revealed that there is talk of a remake to the James O'Barr comic adaptation, The Crow, and that if anyone ever came to him he'd do it.

Jason Statham tells IESB: "You know, there's talk of them redoing THE CROW. That was a good movie with Brandon Lee, although that was years ago. So if that one comes my way, bang! You know, there's so many comic book movies out there and most of the time there's only a handful of people who can do them any justice. Hopefully, they'll come my way for one of them."

They should leave The Crow alone.Brandon Lee was amazing in that role and even though Jason is a good actor I don't think he would do it any justice.Plus I think it would come off as more of a sequal that a remake.

(Slightly old news)

- It has been reported for months that a remake to Tobe Hopper/Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist was in the works, with Mandate Pictures attempting to acquire the remake rights to the franchise.

It is now 100% CONFIRMED - without a shadow of a doubt - that Mandate Pictures will be producing the remake for MGM. This is a fact, this is done, this is not speculation and it's time to quit denying it. The remake won't happen until post-strike, so watch for news later in 2008.

No, no, no, no, NO....that's all wrong....:( I guess I shouldn't be surprised there is talk of a remake here, but somehow I am.

The big question for me is, can they make it just as creepy and keep it PG-13 or will they amp things up to an R?

- It's time to give the Weinstein brothers some props...obviously making money is their number one priority, but it's nice to hear that they're not just trying to push out product without cleaning it thoroughly.

As you all know, Dimension had delayed the release of their Hellraiser remake until 2009. Apparently they weren't 100% happy with Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's screenplay and have decided to take the film to other writers - so we're now back at square one.

The French duo are still attached to helm the pic, which is great news for anyone who has seen Inside. But it's nice to see the Weinsteins concerned about the quality of the franchise. So...until 2009...



- Monty Python veteran John Cleese will join Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Kathy Bates and Jaden Smith in 20th Century Fox's remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Cleese will play physicist Dr. Barnhardt, a Nobel Prize laureate who plays a key part in figuring out the mission and meaning of the arrival of the alien Klaatu (played by Reeves). In the original 1951 film an alien lands and tells the people of Earth that they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets.

Latest movie to join the remake ranks is My Bloody Valentine. Patrick Lussier is attached to direct the Lionsgate production.
