And must we have a sequel to Drop Dead Fred?  I loved the original as a kid, but damn. 

Unfortunately, Happy, it's not a Drop Dead Fred sequel, but a remake.
Hmm. 

I'm at this moment trying to decide if that's WORSE than a sequel or not.  Seeing as it's twenty years later, a remake is the best way to go, I suppose.

But RUSSELL BRAND?  That dude is an annoying little prick.

Joe, I used your list as the starting point for a blog post: http://366weirdmovies.com/weird-horizon-for-the-week-of-5809-with-ill-advised-hollywood-remake-supplement/.  I would be happy to edit the post to credit you for having done the original research if you like.

I would have cut and pasted the post here but it's just too painful to recreate the formatting and links.

Based on my own research, I decided that from your list the BATTLE ROYALE, DON'T LOOK NOW, METROPOLIS, OLDBOY and RE-ANIMATOR remakes appear to either have stalled or been scrapped.

No need to give me credit.   TongueOut

I wouldn't be surprised either way about those movies being canceled.  Then again, speculation arose likewise over the Suspiria remake and The Thing whateveritsgoingtuhbe, not to mention the Dragon Ball movie.  It could also be likely that those movies will either disappear, or find a home with a new director and crew like the Godzilla remake did several times over.  There was even a rumor of a Suspiria anime at one point.  My theory as to why there are so many adapted ideas and sequels here is that the studios green light so many, only to can them within a few years or put them on the back burner.  My honest thought is that a good number of these upcoming films won't see the light of day.

I'm surprised there aren't any plans to remake the remake of Star Trek yet.  It's been 48 freakin' hours already.

Yes, just because a studio or someone buys the rights doesn't mean the movie gets made.  BATTLE ROYALE seemed ready to go but they put it on hold after the Virginia Tech shootings, and there's been no movement sense. Stuart Gordon was asked about the RE-ANIMATOR one and he said he hadn't heard anything about it, and after that the rumors stopped.  I ruled out the others because there hasn't been any movement on them in two years.  Of course, I didn't investigate every title on the list, just the ones that looked interesting to me.

 Wow, I am literally blown away...If most of these films are being remade or getting sequels, I would not know whether to laugh or cry. Too bad, sequels often never to the originals justice. Remakes are usually not even worth watching. It's the sad truth, but somebody's gotta say it.

Add Jack the Giant Killer and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to that list, as well as Siren (I'm assuming it's based on the video game).  All three are in the hands of Sam Raimi as far as producer goes, so hopefully they won't be too bad.
