Jack Aubrey Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I mean, it was pretty good, but I don't see it as being remake-worthy. How about you folks? From Movie Web: According to Variety, Paramount Pictures has decided to go back to Summer School, setting up a remake of the 1987 Mark Harmon comedy with producer Jordan Kerner and his Kerner Entertainment shingle. The studio has tapped the writing team of Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel to pen the script, which will cover the chaotic summer season in high school life, centering on a hard-nosed teacher aiming to be the next principal and the student who becomes his nemesis in achieving that goal. Kerner production topper Paul Neesan will exec produce, and Paramount production VP Matt Jackson oversees for the studio. The original Summer School, directed by Carl Reiner, followed the story of a high school gym teacher forced to ditch his summer plans to teach a remedial English class for the school misfits. Pic, which also starred Kirstie Alley and Courtney Thorne-Smith, grossed $35 million domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I remember Courtney Thorne-Smith being really hot in this movie, and that it was mildly entertaining. Hardly worthy of a remake. Might as well remake Mystic Pizza while they're at it. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remaking marginally successful, halfway amusing teen comedies really shows that there are fewer and fewer original ideas floating around in Hollywood.

Sodoff Baldrick Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 OMG, this movie was my first date. The guy had free passes, we went in the afternoon during summer vacation. Saw the movie, he dropped me at home. Said later that he was too afraid to kiss me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a remake. The original had the teacher not wanting to do anything but get into Kirstie Alley's pants. It was basically about how the class goofed off until it was time to take the standardized test. This looks like more of a rip-off than a remake.
