Revenge of the Nerds. - Remake.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

1. Why?


Because Hollywood is completely out of new ideas and the "old guard" refuses to let new blood in so they throw remakes at us hoping something will work.

I really don't mind remakes, but remake something that would benefit from a remake. Take old movies that could be cool with new effects or something that could be reworked like the end of Logan's Run, but is there any comedy that needs to be remade?

Speculations:

Instead of "Thriller" at the Lambda/Moo party, it will be "The Thong Song."

No panty raid/subsequent voyeurism. Real-world womyn's groups in the 21st century would freak and cry RAPE.

No minority nerds. Only white males can be nerds.

Instead of the clunky robot they build.... one of those Sony man-looking things. PRODUCT PLACEMENT.

1) The first one made cash. The second one probably will.

2) It will most definitely suck ass.

Well, they said it was their "young adult" film group. Is that PG-13 or R?

There will be an asian and a girl(Who will in the end realize that she is really beautiful and end up being a total fox). Don't know about the rest of the minorities though.

This is one of those pointless remakes. What could be improved? Yeah it could be more funny than the original but why not just make a nerd movie with a different title and story line.

Who do you think will play the asshole jock. Depending on how big the film is I will guess Vince Vaughn.

Nah, Vince wouldn't touch it no matter how big it got. Unless it had a great script and cast and director, but I don't think there's a danger of that.

My money's on Jake Busey for the lead jock.

That's why I am saying it depends on how big of a film it is.

Direct to video then it will be a B list acton but if Ben Stiller is the director and Jack Black is playing the fat nerd then I would go with him as the dickhead jock.
