That's the dumbest s**t I ever heard. Don't mess with perfection.
But why? It's not like the movie has a good idea but poorly executed. It's garbage that became a happy accident.
I understand if someone is trying to do a MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE remake, because that one had a nice idea that just went really, really bad. But THE ROOM? What a desperate move.
oh hi remake
They'd do better re-making Casablanca*
*Oh crap, I forgot, they did that in 1980 with Charles Bronson :buggedout:

Wouldn't they have to buy the rights to The Room in order to remake it?

Yes, I'm sure they did. Wiseau let them do THE DISASTER ARTIST, he doesn't care, he just wants $$$.
Do we even want a better The Room?
