A poor original? Are you crazy, Stew. Arthur is a comedy classic. Dudley Moore was a perfect fit,. so was Sr.. John Gielgud as Hobson (he also won an Academy Award for the role), and I would even go as far as to mention the Christopher Cross theme song ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcwLrEATXH4. And Liza, of course. I love Arthur and I hate Brand. A sad day indeed! |

Yeah, the original Arthur is a good movie. My point is that Hollywood has apparently run of creative ideas and is unnecessarily remaking perfectly fine originals like Arthur, Footloose, Psycho, Pink Panther, King Kong, etc. We need more studios like Pixar that develop "new classics" (although Pixar has been getting sequelitis too).

Wether or not you thought Arthur was a good movie( I thought it was very good) it is just another example of what kind of fucktards are running Hollywood today.
No idea. No imagination. No nothing...well...except for plenty of gutless lowlife piece of shit fucktards.

It's not as simple as that, guys. There is a lot of imagination in Hollywood, but very little people willing to take a risk. Without the likes of Cameron and Nolan, neither Avatar nor Inception would have ever been made. It's only because they had Titanic and Dark Knight under their belts that they were allowed to get a green light. There are tons of talented people waiting in their shadows for a chance to express themselves. Alas, producers are extremely cautious these days. Because of the implosion of entertainment in the past 20 years, cinema has to compete to exist, which means that negative cost is usually smaller than P&A. It cost a lot of money to produce a film, and even more to let you know about that film. This competitiveness has pretty much destroyed independent cinema. So naturally, producers will turn to known properties, such as Arthur, were the risk is sustained. There is always a risk in this industry, but much less if you take a subject matter that is already in our collective consciousness. So don't crush artists, because believe me, they are dying to allow you a glimpse into their brains.

I just got these in last week, and I must say of all the remakes, this poster about makes me want to throw the whole batch in the trash.  A drunken Dudley Moore was a thing to behold. I will be the first on the "hate Liza Minnelli" band wagon, so other than Garner filling that role, I don't see much I can get behind on this one. I am not a fan of Brand, and him landing something like Katy Perry makes it even more sickening. By the way is it only me that insists Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel must be related!? |

At some point Hollywood will remake every movie. They've been doing it since the beginning of pictures (ROBIN HOOD, BEN-HUR, FRANKENSTEIN), and will continue to do so for eternity. That being said, I find Brand incredibly unfunny and wouldn't see this version if you paid me

I think they are using Brand to appeal to the largest cinema going audience, the Teenage girl's. And they are welcome to him.
Arthur wasn't to bad a film, I think the Brits have it in for Dudley as it seemed like he sold out. Unlike the much funnier Peter Cook.
