Yes, those are two of my favorite actors to watch. Don't forget Snoop Dog as Huggy Bear. It's going to be more of a comedy than the orginal...especially considering the fact it's being directed by the same guy who did Road Trip and Old School. Vince Vaughn is a bad guy in it. I can't wait.
Wasn't there also going to be a Dukes of Hazzard remake? I remember seeing on ET that Ashton Kutcher was really pushing to play Luke Duke.

This is a really good point, seriously. What does 6 million buy you these days, assuming the guy has medical insurance to bilk? "Okay, Mr. Austin, you're looking good! ... Let's look over the total here... 1 liposuction, check. 1 angioplasty, check. 1 radiation sequence for your prostate tumor, check. That'll be six million dollars."
Haven't you had to say this, like, a million times? note: that's not a jab at you, it's a jab at the movie industry. It's disgusting that it's so true. I thought the same thing, and continue to think so every time i hear about a re-make movie. -- droxford
Lost in Translation Out of Time Kill Bill School of Rock Beyond Borders Mystic River Intolerable Cruelty The Runaway Jury The Rundown Secondhand Lions Veronica Guerin Finding Nemo Once Upon a Time in Mexico Matchstick Men These are 14 movies that are currently in widespread release (or were very very recently) that have received favorable critic reviews. Not ripoffs of anything unless you count Tarantino's borrowing from his various influences or movies based on novels. If you're b****ing about Hollywood right now, you're doing it ignorantly, IMO.
I agree that coming out with remakes (in and of itself) may show a lack of creativity. However, the bottom line is that the movie studios are a business. They want to make money. There is a market for these classic tv show remakes. And if the general public (that may not include you) happens to pay money in ticket and DVD sales for their favorite 70's or 80's show, some studio somewhere is going to do it. And they're probably going to make money. I'm not sure it's solely (if at all) due to a lack of creativity.
