The Wayans Brothers' The Munsters Remake Close to Starting

It seems a classic 60s TV show is nearly ready to be remade. According to MTV Movies Blog, the Wayans are finishing up the third draft of their script for a remake of The Munsters.

"I'm almost ready. It's almost ready to be shot," Shawn Wayans said. "We had to finish this movie and now we're going through our third polish on The Munsters."

Wayans also said that he and his brother Marlon will not be acting in the film and that this will be a modern-day reboot of the classic characters.

"If we do anything, maybe we'll do a cameo, but we're not gonna make The Munsters black all of a sudden," Wayans laughed. "They're gonna be green, white people just like they were in the TV show. Their characters are still who they were in the '50s. It's just in modern day."

We'll keep you posted on any developments surrounding this new film.

    Terrible idea and it definatly shouldn't be rated R. I'd have to agree, let Sonnenfeld direct it if it has to be made.

    At least they got some senses now and aren't trying to change EVERYTHING about past projects or characters.

    This is going to be bad...& I mean not "Bad" in a good way either...I mean "Bad" as in: cheesy, crappy,dreadful, erroneous, etc, etc!!

    I;m sorry but a film based onthe Tv show "The Munsters" has been floating around Hollywood for years!

    I think Barry Sonnenfeld who directed "The Addams Family" film back in 1991 (& made it a hit!!) should direct this remake!!!

    It's MEGAN FOX as Wonder Woman.

    And it's not about "soft ass sh*t," it's about the fact that not everything needs to be rated r to be taken seriously...and it's the munsters. If it's rated R, it'll only be because the Wayans are involved.

    The guy below me seems to hate everything and believe everything should have an R-rating...i think the guy below me needs to take a huge sh*t, come back, and see if he still feels like being douche

    If it has an R rating I'll go see it. After they left the Scary Movie franchise and some corny white guy took over, they have become crap sh*t.
