Last House On The Left remake.
 

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet,but they're making a Last House On The Left remake. http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/.../lasthouse.php

I kind of liked the first one.Hopefully they won't screw it up.

There was a thread about this not too long ago...stupid new search feature wont pick it up though :mad:

I read that he is looking for new talent, and he wants someone to bring fresh idea's to the table to re-write this script.

i love that film! hope they do it justice and usually with remakes they get more people to go back to the original and watch that if they havent seen it.

Yes they do thats why they always re-release it on DVD. :D Fools like me will buy the new edition too, I have several different copies of movies:rolleyes:

Why the hell would they do this? It was a gritty, 70s movie made to shock and disturb, not entertain. It'd be like remaking Cannibal Holocaust or Eraserhead...though I'm sure folks are already talking about it. This is one of those time pieces that was made to be remembered as it was.

And fools like me will buy the older edition when it goes on sale a week before the new edition release so I can get it for $5.

but they ARE remaking eraserhead - it'll start Tom Cruise and George Clooney and is being reimagined as a kind of buddy-flick with occassional dancing chickens!

I agree with you but it is good ol Cravens Idea, he must be cravin for some money.

With no pants !

anyone watch the trailer yet? its looks beyond awful.

Haha...Craven...cravin'...

That's funny I didn't relize that :p
How do they have the trailer for it ?

Last House on the Left is one of my favorite movies, I dont want to see a remake of it, their is no way they can do that movie justice, it will prolly just be a water downed PG-13 piece of crap, any good part will prolly be taken out to fit into the 15 year old demographic.
Their gonna totally screw up a classic movie...again.

Screw The Remakes
 

Damn all these remakes! Is it possible that people's imagination is THAT limited?? We want NEW movies, not watching good old ones getting screwed over and over again!!!

Yes I know this has been said a thousand times but if I read about another remake in the next 5 minutes I'll have to do something crazy. And that will probably happen because I'm browsing the forum now. :mad:

there is no way this movie could have gotten remade in todays climate without the recent spate of grind house homage films (hostel, wolf creek, haute tension)

i was suprised to see someone touch this one again .. but i guess i shouldnt have been.

it was inevitable tho......why dont producers go back to flicking through books and comics stores to get their 'fresh' ideas....grrrrr :mad:

just seconds after reading this headline, and just seconds before typeing this i looked towards the heavens erected my middle fingers, and screamed at the top of my lungs "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", for a good 15 seconds. followed shortly by a loud "SON OF A BITCH", and then mummered to myself "god damn it".

i think that basicly expressed my feeling on the subject.

any questions?

nope im fine thanks....tis pissy tho and i feel exactly the same.....why ye gods....?? why?? :confused: :confused:

that's the thing with remakes... they're all about getting new folks to see 'em and spend the money. its hard to recreate a movie like that simply because it came out when it did. it was a different time. i mean, movies like Last House and Chainsaw had people vomiting in the theaters... it's impossible to do that now. remakes are only there to "polish" up movies, which ruins them.


i mean, how can the redux that rape scene and not, A)water it down to lose its effect or B)take it out all together? and the scene with the mother... man, it's just so sad that movies are all about money now, and have nothing to do with art. horror used to be art, but now its just a way to get teeny-boppers to the theaters... fucking sad...

:eek: oh my god! a cannibal holocaust remake would be so awfull
i pray that will never happen!!

I couldn't have said it better myself..

im 19...eventually.....and i sooooo know what you mean. friends of mine refuse to see the gritty films and only watch the high budget polished so far up their own ass films...grrrrr......like a friend of mine wouldnt come to see saw (love saying that) 3 yeserday cause it relied on 'gore' yeah some people go to see it just for that and its a big part of it but im sick of these psychological films that shy away from true horror (i do like asian horror but only them can do creepy) oh and he coudnt sit through the entirity of hostel.....somethings wrong with my generation man.

I agree.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake was on tv the other day and my friend saw it and he was like it's like the best horror movie out there,it's alot better than the stupid original.:confused:

Remake F Off
 

This idea sucks. Remakes suck. They should rerelease it in theaters.

Like they did with Exorcist ten times over. I still go, every single time. And I am not disappointed like I am with remakes.

I agree on the re-releases on the Big Screen,I love that. I'm 25 and theres alot of movies I never got to experience on the big screen that I wish I had.

i always wish they'd rerelease old films...id loved to been alive when exorcist first came out to be able to see it on the big screen.....tisnt fair.

Last House On The Left has already been remade.Has anyone seen Chaos? :)

olo!!!!!! what a rip!!

Craven's Last House on the Left redo
 

February 3, 2008

Busy character thesp Garret Dillahunt has joined the cast of Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left" redo for Rogue.

Dillahunt, who has memorable roles in "No Country for Old Men" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," will play the thug Krug in the remake of Craven's 1972 original.

Dennis Iliadis will direct.

Dillahunt joins a trio of other thesps -- Rhys Coiro, Martha MacIsaac and Riki Lindhome -- in the project, which is gearing up for a March 24 start in South Africa.

Craven and Marianne Maddalena are producing under his Midnight Pictures shingle, along with Sean S. Cunningham, who produced the original. Adam Alleca rewrote the original to give it a more realistic tone.

Story revolves around a couple, on vacation at their lakeshore house, who inadvertently gives shelter to the sociopaths who have just assaulted and nearly killed their daughter. After discovering the truth, they exact revenge on the attackers.

Dillahunt, who has had recurring roles on a number of skeins, including "Damages" and "Deadwood," will next appear on the bigscreen in Paul Schneider's "Pretty Bird." Coiro, best known as crazy director Billy Walsh in "Entourage," stars in upcoming "The Chaos Theory." Lindhome has several projects on the way, including "Powder Blue" and "The Changeling."

Sounds interesting. The original is pretty sadistic for the time it was made. I hope they don't make it a cheesy PG-13 flix.

Rhys Coiro is awesome in the show Entourage and Marth MacIssac was good in Super Bad but they were both comedies so I wonder how this will be.

If you've ever seen "Chaos" you have seen what is essentially a remake of Last House... and a VERY bad one at that. Let's hope the official remake is better.

I'm going to have to rewatch the old one. It's been forever, but I remember that I was unhappy about it. I was like thirteen though and couldn't even sit still for a second.

I also remember that the movie was dated. I guess that made it scarier then. I would like to see a remake.

Sara Paxton will play young Mari Collingwood in Rogue Pictures' The Last House on the Left.

Sources tell she is the latest addition to Dennis Iliadis's remake. Paxton joins the previously announced Garret Dillahunt, Rhys Coiro, Martha MacIsaac and Riki Lindhome.

Sandra Cassel starred as Mari in Wes Craven's original 1972 shocker.

Paxton's career began at the age of eight. Since then she has appeared in Aquamarine (she was the mermaid) and Sydney White. Audiences will next see her in Craig Mazin's Superhero Movie this March.

"Last House," modernized by writer Adam Alleca, begins rolling in South Africa soon.

Sean Cunningham, Wes Craven and Marianne Maddalena are producing.

What is it with Craven.

20 years ago he was the king of low budget horror but what happens when he gets a bit of money in his pocket.He produced dross after dross after dross.

Lets be honest here,What has Craven done thats worth any merit in the last 15 years.And for those who say `Scream` lets just say that i will chose to ignore any further comments.:D

Last House is,was and always will be a hallmark in horror and should be left alone.

Save for some of his original work (Such as Last House) I think Wes is a terrible director. Even his good movies aren't that good.

I think the last film of his I liked was The People Under the Stairs.

I loved Last House on the Left. As previously described, it was sadistic, maniacal, and well thought out. I really have no desire to see it remade, as it will become some godawful, watered down piece of tripe.

Heh, what's next? Why do I see I Spit on Your Grave starring Reese Witherspoon or something? lol

Ms. 45 was remade, I believe, so it's not that absurd. I think the death knell for Hollywood decency was sounded when they taught us that even Shaft isn't safe. Who's the cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about? I don't know, but he isn't a development executive, cause they're cowards.

i think this may be a miscalculated move..

grindhouse style violence is definately coming back - to a point - but i dont know how a graphic rape - kill - revenge film is going to fly this day and age.

there will be a small select audience - but i dont think the major studios can survive making films that way - which is why they play it so safe all the time.
