I thought that was a given.

That story is way to racist to be made today. Unless they deconstruct the shit out of it and make Scarlett the straight up villain that she should be.

Because they paid him a truckload of money because they needed someone in the cast that regular audience members would know by name.

This sentiment would carry more weight if the 1959 movie hadn’t itself been the 3rd movie adaptation of the same novel.

Which of the two?

Thank you!!

So, a made up story to push the prosperity gospel? No thank you.

No... Judy Ben-Hur

The trailer is misleading. The mother and sister get the same fate as in the 1959 movie.

Indeed. Look at this and even taking into account the heel on the girls...

Who like to distract you with boobs while they infect you with deadly viruses.

That world orbited Alpha Centauri A, not Proxima.

SLAP!!

They’d have to get Kate Upton or Charlotte McKinney to play the part today. Or Alexandra Daddario if they’re willing to go brunette.

It was a flop, because people in the 80s had no sense of humor apparently.

The fact that the story will probably take place entirely in LA helps, since it will allow them to keep things completely separate from the going-ons in NYC.

They’re aging her up to 19 with afreak accident... but played by a 28 year old.

Variety reports that the 17-year-old actor will play “a misfit who finds a magic box that promises a chance at the life she’s always wanted. However, she soon discovers that each wish demands a deadly payment.”

No, Han Solo thought the idea of the Force was bullshit. And Admiral Motti did too until Vader gave him a demonstration. But that was far from a universal opinion.

Ever since Revenge of the Sith came out, I’ve been of the opinion that the need for secrecy was one of the main reasons why it took so damn long to build the thing.
