the original was great, jr, and it even relates to the present day because of the whole new world order conpiracy deal that folks are buying into.

i love remakes...but! this? would be stupid,cheesy and downright stupid! and i hated the original.

That actually sound like a good idea cause thats what the fans and movie goers want to see. They could vote on some movies that they say are ok to remake and unwanted to remake. Thats a great idea!

They live remake better not be some cheap ass dumb film that gets turned into shit! Like the texas chainsaw massacre ,and the hitcher. Those were good remakes but they aren't great. I am legend was a great remake. Casino Royale was a good remake well not to sure it was really a remake. ikilledbill2wice you better do something with your idea cause it has some potential.

there should be a website where people can petition which movies they never want to be remade! (i almost feel like trade marking that idea) you know like, every week people can nominate another movie and if enough signatures comes up, it cant ever get a remake. this is one of them! also, yes, the thing too.

I agree with you, The Dark Knight. They BETTER NOT remake The Thing. That's my 2nd favorite horror movie.

sad

Hell no fuck this

Fuck this was my Idea! they better not fuck this one up. and NOBODY REMAKE THE THING!

All of John Carpenter's flicks SHOULD BE OFF FUCKING LIMITS!!! YOU DON'T FUCK WITH THE CLASSICS!!!

heh.
really chad?
why the thing?

i think the carpenter version is great.
is it because of improved fx tactics since it was made? is that why?

i agree this sounds lame

Boycott this BULLSHIT!!!!

The only movie I want to see remade of Carpenter's would be "The Thing".

The original is great, just leave it alone. Stupid idea.

i freakin' love 'they live', i still watch it every couple months or so just so i dont forget how great it is.

theyre gonna make this movie one way or the other, apparently, so i just hope it isnt TOO MUCH of an insult to the original, like the remake of the hitcher was. that was just a tragedy... er, travesty... whichever.

lame.

Dont DARE touch up THE THING! But a sequal might make me do a sex wee in my pants! With all the greats on board - Carpy - Sir Bodine and go on throw old McGready into the mix 2! Even if he WAS an the Alien along ;}

I just read that they are also working on a remake of The Thing. Please say it isn't so, that is classic John Carpenter.

Jesus titty-fucking christ!

No movie is sacred anymore.

I AGREE WITH U (ComradeHenSON) WHY THE HELL THEY REMAKING ALL 80'S MOVIES??? WHY CANT THEY JUST LEAVE IT ALONE AND TRY SOMETHING NEW MAN... I AM SICK!!!...

ssss....why can't they try something new. It's like they only make these because Fanboys will bitch about them and raise interest.

Hollywoods just remaking every great film of the 80s nowadays and just totally ruining it!

Im here for two reasons, kick ass & chew bubble gum, & Im almost out of bubblegum !!

This is a stupid idea they don't need to redo this film. Why can't people come up with orgional ideas any more so hollywood is going to remake everything till there is nothing to remake. what's next a Gone With the Wind remake by Michel Bay and staring Will Smith as Reht Butler. For the love of god do orgional films.

This sucks, 'They Live' is a classic Carpenter film! Who the hell could they get to replace Roddy Piper? no one! The film rocks. hollywood need to fire some writers and start fresh. Im really getting sick of the crapfest of Hollywood film making these days. the remake every decent B rated cult classic from the 80's and dont even attempt to do a new original script.
I love the orginal film, John Carpenter rocks.

!an original movie!

I sympathize with The Dude - why do they need to remake this?! First they wanna remake Escape From New York now they want to remake another Carpenter movie. What is the next suggestion? - a remake of Big Trouble in Little China?!! - Develop a movie off the thousands of scripts you recieve every month you studio morons!

This is one movie that I do not think it is a bad idea to remake.

Of course it is.

Any movie starring Roddy Piper should be burned and rought and hell!!!May they never have a chance at a remake. BOOOOO this waist of time and money!!!
