Relaxed_Jack Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Just read in the USA Today about the remake of Amityville Horror. This time with Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder) and Melissa George (Alias). According to the article, the stars are a little younger than the original's James Brolin and Margot Kidder.

Is it just me, or do there seem to be WAY TOO MANY remakes noadays. On TV, there are quite a few of the older tv sitcoms being redone, a whole slew of horror movie remakes in the last year. Before (and still is), it was the curse of the sequal that was hitting us, now the trend is moving to remakes. Is it just me, or does it seem like there is no more creative writing in entertainment anymore?
