"Not remake," Fickman corrected. "We didn't want to come in and just simply do a remake of a movie that we all really liked growing-up. It's a new chapter within the world of Witch Mountain. I think that for people who have seen the original, they're going to be very happy with the direction were going. And with people who've never seen it, I think it'll be an exciting ride for them [as well]."
According to Fickman, the biggest difference may be one of tone. "The original book is a very cool dark thriller. We're pulling elements from that," he revealed. "It's a much darker movie than in the 70s when they did 'Escape to Witch Mountain.'"

What!!? The Rock is a good actor? what the hell have you been smoking? He is in the top 10 worst actors category and has been since day one. Who do you consider a bad actor? Did you watch Scorpion King and all the other crap he has put out. The only reason why he is an actor is because he managed to score a role at the height of his wrestling career. Haha! I cant believe you just said that Michael5. Look, to be fair he has improved a bit since he started but I still would not consider him a good actor.
I personally dont give a rats as# about this movie but if I did I would be worried, very worried. I can already tell you its going to be garbage. absolute rubbish.
