Let the b*tching and moaning begin.

Note: Man - this new meta direction sounds pretty cool

And I bet you it's gonna be in 3-D!!!!

I think an update of Fright Night is a pretty good idea, one that I wouldn't mind seeing. They seem to have picked a good writer considering he wrote many episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one of the best shows of its kind. However, the director should have gone a different direction. I mean the director of Mr. Woodcock, really...is that the best they could do?

**** it. Nothing is scared. Just remake The Goonies and ET too. Go to Hell, Hollywood.

Posted by: txhsfball on March 8, 2010 at 02:19:38

By the director and writers you can already tell its gonna be aimed towards the young twilight idiots. I already lost faith.

Posted by: Nunya on March 8, 2010 at 02:33:57

You can tell that - huh - moron? How, dip****?

You people are all ****ing morons. Crying about 3D now - is that the new p*ssy hurt? ****ing d*uchebags.

Marti Noxon (female) wrote some of the edgier, controversial Buffy eps.

Between Lars and Tara, Gillespie has proven himself to be an actor's director. I think people forget that it was the characters that truly drove Fright Night - no disrespect to Holland's script direction, or Edlund's effects, all terrific.

These are smart hires, and a smart pairing.

*Holland's script AND direction.

Posted by: Doug on March 8, 2010 at 12:37:43

Numya, go **** yourself.

It's a pointless remake and TRUE horror fans have every right to moan/vent. Away jack off to Twilight and let the actual fans talk.

Ya complete twat.

Gosh gee Nunya, I for one can't wait. I love remakes, hell I say just take one story and make it a movie and release it every year. Oh wait that's Saw, but seriously why would anyone want a new story? We should all be excited about seeing movies get remade, recycling is good for the environment. And 3d is so hip and fresh, too bad they didn't have this wondrous technology in the 50's!

Posted by: Nunya on March 8, 2010 at 15:26:22

Morons - all of you.

There are plenty of original ideas in Hollywood, too, and you know what? You b*tch and moan about them, too. And how the **** is it a remake with the new premise by the way? Morons.

You ought to go kill yourselves so you don't have to watch movies again - you know - so all those "classics" you talk about don't get ruined by your stupidity. Because how a movie - let alone one you don' have to see - will ruin another movie is beyond me. But you all do have minds of insects so - what do I know?

Posted by: MrAmerica on March 8, 2010 at 17:55:41

Some movies need the remake treatment, most would agree The Thing, Dawn of The dead and the Fly were well done. The original Hills have eyes and Last house on the left were so bad that the remakes were very welcome. The problem is when you go and remake a movie that still holds up, isn't that old or is just plain not needed like Zombie's Halloween.

Yeah people b*tch, but what should they do? Should they say they like it when they don't? Should they say "I can't wait?" when they expect it to be crap? Would this site and others be any better by everyone praising lame trends like remakes and 3d?

Posted by: Doug on March 8, 2010 at 18:39:18

Well said MrAmerica!

It's very true that some remakes have been well waranted, but Fright Night isn't one of them. It was a product of its time, with the horror show hosts, music, clothings styles etc. The full cast, with special mention ofcourse going to Roddy MacDowell....all of this made the original special. Whats the point in trying to recapture that?

Just watch Disturbia instead, because thats pretty much what we'll be seeing with the remake [minus the vampires/ghouls]. Just throw in some ipod, facebook, twitter pluggings to "modernise" it!

Anyway....Nunya, stick that in your pipe and smoke it =D

Posted by: Nunya on March 8, 2010 at 20:04:48

How about if you don't like it Yyou just shut your ****ing mouths? How about you don't click on the article at all if you're not interested? You're not going to make it go away by your useless and incessant b*tching and moaning. I bet that makes your p*ssies hurt don't it? Stick that in your pipe and ****ng smoke it, f@ggot. Fright Night was essentially a remake of Rear Window. I don't see you b*tching about that and how unneeded it was. Oh, yeah, they didn't have the internet then.

And AGAIN it's not a REMAKE if they are planning to incorporate the original film into the movie, morons. And 3D is only lame if you use lamely there has been great uses for it - ****ing tools. It's like anything. In fact - b*tching about it is akin to if people b*tched about color or sound.

i agree w Colin

this could be awesome, and anyone that thinks 'twilight' has anything to do w 'buffy' ((besides copping whedon's general premise, as 'true blood'(tho awesome) and vampire diaries(tried to watch it, but NO)and every other genre book series ftm) is un-informed and should actually try watching a full arc of ANY season, and tell me that it's not deserved of it's iconic stature...
marti noxon is one of the geniuses of writing that came about becuz of joss whedon, and i hold her in the highest regards, and the meta-premise is cool, if true..
on the other hand i was REALLY looking forward to 'cabin in the woods', and i can't believe they sold out, but wutev

Posted by: Nunya on March 9, 2010 at 04:02:09

Why? What did they do with Cabin in the Woods?

Posted by: DurantezInferno on March 9, 2010 at 09:52:25

well Nunya Cabins going to be in...3 FLIPIN D! *Cue's thunder,lighting,and overly dramtic crappy horror music* MAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!
Douche! hahaha Anyways, It's very true. Certian movies SHOULD be remade. Some actully are pretty good. thought, with the new spider-man reboot its to short of time. thats one thing. But remakes like Childs Play is great, and good. Chucky became an icon,but isn't as scary. they gave him scares to "look" scarier,yeha that worked...but still he became funny. like freddy Kruger. No one lieks one liners, am i right? Nobody wants to much CGI,or any of that stuff. It's bull. But Noxon and Gelispe are gonna Rock,and take this movie to the next leavel! SCREW TWILIGHT! (Yeah I saw that movie,worst. vampires. ever! Dark shadows WAY Better.)

Posted by: MrAmerica on March 9, 2010 at 13:12:50

Nunya - You mad!

hahaha don't type angry.

Yeah rear window was first as we all know. And yes this COULD be awesome (although I'm not a fan of many vamp movies) it just sucks that maybe if remakes weren't the rage we could get a Preacher movie by Garth Ennis.

Spider-man needed a restart/relaunch...reboot. Maybe this time less Lois And Clark drama and more SPIDER-MAN? And have someone pretty play MJ this time.

I'm not dead set against all remakes from the get go, it's just that rarely are they needed, often they suck and most often they are just "meh."

Posted by: Nunya on March 9, 2010 at 13:53:34

Remakes aren't the reason Preacher isn't getting made. First of all the story is too big for just one movie but most of all it's the controversial subject matter and the fear of the religious right getting all up at arms about it. You know a movie like that isn't going to g over to well with them. Don't blame it on remakes blame it on uptight Americans.

Posted by: MrAmerica on March 9, 2010 at 16:58:35

It was an example. Speculation of what ISN'T being made while needless remakes get made. The point is simple, if remakes weren't succesful "they" would be looking at different NEW ideas. You may enjoy seeing different interpretations of the same story I don't.

You think the religious right is bad try drawing a picture of mohammed sometime.

Posted by: alice on March 23, 2010 at 11:44:35

dey better not mess up the movie, because the original frightnighjt was perfect i bet their gonna wanna **** it up. other wise ime up fro a fright night remake as long as its th original script, and everything happens the same no twilight ****. none of that. fright night is one of my all time favorites. in the top five.

I am truly saddened by this news. I like many that have commented on this tragic news am a true loving fan of this film. I saw it at a very young age on HBO with my father and have owned both VHS and DVD copies of the film. I showed it to my wife while we were dating and I will show it to my own children one day. The remakes, reboots, and U.S. versions of foreign releases must stop. Film is an art form that seems to never get the artistic respect that it deserves. The world is full of talented artists with their own unique ideas. The weak minded, economically safe, gutless producers that occupy Hollywood need to fade out and make room for new wallets that will finance originality. I refuse to make the mistakes I did in watching that hack of musician Rob Zombie's Halloween, ? director's Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or that lame ass (28 Days Later fast zombie rip off) Dawn of the Dead. Please spread the word to the youngsters out there that there is only one true Evil Ed and that Peter Vincent will have faith in the end. Later
