They will have committed one of the classic blunders. Never remake a classic.

[BonzoMontreaux 1061]

Inconceivable!

[TexArcher 37988]

This is the worst idea I've ever heard.

[Radical Larry 28650]

Elwes’ tweet on this was perfect.

[gecko 1104]

while we're at it let's remake Casablanca

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

And Citizen Kane

[bamachine 1231]

While we are at it, might as well remake This is Spinal Tap, just to completely shit on Meatheads first two and maybe best two flicks.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Maybe we could redo Blazing Saddles, but update it for a modern audience!

 

[Smax 3800]

Dont forget Gone with the wind

Make the cast all women! 

Except of course Lili Von Shtupp who will be a  man.

[BrazilHorn 6620]

It will be a female dread pirate roberts/wesley - guaranteed (I am guessing Zendaya)

 

 

[bluto 4933]

Basically just pivoting avengers... Hemsworth as farmboy, scarjo chick, Bautista as fezzik,

[BonzoMontreaux 1061]

What's next?  The Rock in a Raiders of the Lost Ark rendition? or Romancing the Stone?

[TxTower 652]

That money grubbing Les Grossman is probably the one behind all this remake talk.

And the humor would all have to be changed to something that doesn't even resemble the original.

Leslie Jones. 

[Deej 76847]

Melissa McCarthy or Rosie O'Donnell playing Andre the Giant's role.

[Hate 20122]

Everyone involved in a remake of this movie from the studios to the cast and crew needs to have a curse placed upon them.

 

[MrPhlegm 3413]

Fuck it lets remake Dark Star and Alien and Eraserhead and all the Marx Bros movies.

They should be BOOOOOOOOOD, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

 

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

it's picking a pretty hard target to remake.  it's a love story sort of movie that dudes like.  that's really threading the needle.  

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Yeah, it's basically a chick flick that pretty much everyone loves. That's pretty tough to pull off.

It's a first ballot, unanimous entry into the "Netflix and chill" hall of fame. 

It was "Netflix and chill" before there was a Netflix.

Seriously.  

Roxanne is another one.  I'm sure they'll remake that with Kevin Hart and Emma Stone.  Fuck you, Hollywood.

[Jshep34 2319]

Kevin hart and tiffany haddish would be in roxanne. Just wait till they remake planes,trains and automobiles. Then the fletch series with ed holmes.

[Hanrahan 1306]

If they do this they have to line up whatever dipshit remade Point Break.

I disagree with Cary. Nothing can damage The Princess Bride.

They should remake a different remake of Cyrano de Bergerac, or maybe come up with an all new remake of Cyrano de Bergerac.

I'm honestly not interested in a remake of anything unless it's obscure or foreign so it's new to me.

What would really be nice is if Hollywood could try to remember how to write an original script.

[Horn80 6131]

Don’t think this is anything new.  Several John Wayne western movies were nothing more than clones but for the supporting actors cast.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21909]

The cast of The Princess Bride will reunite for a virtual reading of the script to be followed by a Q&A session on 9/13/20 at 6:00 PM CST.

TRIGGER WARNING - The reading will benefit the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and will require a donation, but the minimum donation is only $1.  I'm posting this as a fan of the movie, not in support of any particular political party (they both suck).  If this triggers you and you think a $1 donation will tip the scale one way or another, please look away.  Again, I am only posting this so that fans of the movie can participate if they so choose.  If this gets sand in your vagina or your panties in a wad please look away.  Please no escapees from CR here.

Serious question---who alive today would be best fitted to read his parts for this event?  Can't just be somebody big, has to also be somebody with some comedy/tragedy chops to capture the scenes.  

[NeverMarryAStripper 21909]

I think he has to be visually imposing as well. My vote goes to
