Hollywood wants to remake The Raid

[TigerClaw]

It seems like Hollywood wants to do an American remake of The Raid: Redemption. The popular Indonesian film currently has a sequel coming out.

Sure, why not. Could be cool.

Those darn subtitles are hard to read, must remake it! :roll:

[The Stryker]

Why not.

Of course now we'll hear everyone screaming and crying like this'll somehow hurt the original.

I appreciate a good remake like anyone but they are really not that necessary.
I mean you don't see China doing a remake of Rambo, that I know of at least.
The Ring series was interesting to see the different takes on the story. The remake always ends up getting compared with the original. There are plenty of original ideas out there, the money for films should go to them instead of recycling something that has had its day. Imagine the star wars series or the Bruce Lee films being remade. If you remember back to before the first X-men film came out, Wolverine wasn't anywhere near as well know as he is today. Time to give other heroes their day like the Sandman or Usagi Yojimbo. However, so long as so much money keeps getting by remakes becasue we go to see them/buy them then that's where the budgets will go instead of something like a live action Usagi Yojimbo movie.
