7 Movies Hollywood Plans to Remake but Shouldn't
ANOTHER LIST
More from the future remake file, here's a bunch of projects that are said to be in very early development. Here's hoping they in fact develop a case of the 'what-are-we-thinking?' and end up in the too-hard basket, and taken out with the trash.
7 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Then: First released in 1947, it was directed by Norman Z. McLeod and starred Danny Kaye as the title character, a comic book writer who likes to imagine himself as a hero getting to have all kinds of adventures, primarily to escape his overbearing mother. The film was based on a short story published in 1939.
Now: Jim Carrey was to star in a remake directed by Steven Spielberg back in 2003. Read here. But, after those two went cold on the project, Mike Myers' name has been heavily linked, though no director has been mentioned as yet. Apparently a new script has been "tailored" to suit Myers' style. Read here. So, I would hope there would at least be no singing.
I reckon: Leave it alone - at least with Myers in the role. The guy should stick with just churning out more Austin Powers and Shrek movies. They are the only things that seem to work for him, post Wayne's World.
