Stuart Little Remake

Quote:

STUART LITTLE, the iconic little mouse whose adventures have spawned a novel, a cartoon series, and a three-film franchise, is returning to the big screen, courtesy of Sony Pictures and Red Wagon Entertainment. Pitched as a hybrid live-action/animation take in the vein of John Hughes, the film will once again follow the escapades of the titular mouse and his adopted family, the Littles.

The pic serves as an adaptation of the 1945 children’s classic of the same name, written by E. B. White. Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher are producing the reinvention, which has been described as more comedic than the other films, while Lucas Wiesendanger will oversee for Red Wagon.

Published via Harper & Brothers and illustrated by Garth Williams, Stuart Little went on to become a mainstay in children’s literature and a classic in its own right. The beloved story was adapted in in 1999 by Columbia, which Wick also produced, and featured Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Jonathan Lipnicki, and the voices of Nathan Lane as the family cat and Michael J. Fox as Stuart.

The Rob Minkoff-helmed adaptation was a critical and financial success, spurring the release of a sequel in 2002 and a fully animated third installment in 2005. The success of the films led to a short-lived animated series that also featured the talents of Laurie.

Before Red Wagon delivers the newest iteration of the kind-hearted, well-dressed mouse, they’ll release the final two chapters of the popular Divergent franchise, as well as a remake of cult teen classic The Craft.

Why? Why not just make more sequels instead? Fox I'm sure would love to return as his VA. What's the point? I loved the films.

UGH I'm annoyed by this so much. It's also making mockery of Fox's brilliant work.

Time for everyone to act like Stuart ****ing Little is a sacred piece of cinema.

"in the vein of John Hughes"

Someone at Sony has a HUGE hard-on for Hughes. They keep saying the same thing about the Spider-man reboot. WTF? Yeah he made some decent flicks, but when did he become an descriptive term?

Yeah, good point. Is Stuart Little gonna have to fend off cats with home made traps?

Up next, that all important Babe: Pig in the city remake, in the vein of Alan Smithee.
