Yes, the much loved and completely terrible Super8 movie from the 80's is being given a remake. This is certainly one of those terrible movies that could benefit from being remade, but will it? No. Why? Because it's not being remade by Hollywood or any real filmmaker, it's being remade by a man named Damian Price, who appears to have no experience what so ever. I didn't even see any indication of even doing crappy short films with friends.
So what will the final result be of a remake to a movie that people only like because of how awful it is, being remade by somebody that probably doesn't know what they are doing? God help us if we have to find out the answer.
There is also speculation that this basically an unofficial remake, the person behind this was originally penning a name-only sequel, but overnight turned it into a remake. So rumors are going around that the person doesn't actually have the rights to do the remake. As I'm sure so many of you care.
Remake Teaser Poster:
Dig the fact that they took the original VHS artwork and just blacked it out. A sign of what to expect of the final product? Perhaps.
And for those who may have missed it, sometime back UHM had a movie night with the Lunch Meat, check the thread for the reactions to this master piece.
