Romancing the Stone Remake? Seriously?



Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Fox has decided that the rime is right to remake the 1984 film, Romancing the Stone, about a novelist and a soldier and V.I. Warshawsky looking for something or other. I can't be bothered to remember it. Apparently Dan McDermott, who co-wrote Eagle Eye will be handling the script, such as it is. All I know is that the lack of creaitivity and imagination in Hollywood knows no bounds. EVERYTHING that ever earned a positive dollar at the box office during the 80's is being remade. We're about five minutes away from a Revenge of the Nerds remake, a Porky's remake, a WarGames remake, and probably a Chariots of Fire remake.

I assume they'll be bringing back Billy Ocean to do the soundtrack. When the goin' gets tough....
