[Brave New World]

The Original was a good film, lets hope the remake is made to the same standard.

Max Landis, whose father John Landis wrote and directed the 1981 comedy-horror movie, will write and direct a new version of the story, according to Deadline.

In the original film, two American college students go backpacking in the North York Moors when they are attacked. One of them is killed and the other is turned into a werewolf, who then goes on a killing spree in London.

The film received the first ever Oscar for makeup work, winning Rick Baker the first of his seven Academy awards.

One of my favorite horror movies, but even I admit it has some very notable flaws.

I'm a little unclear as to why they are remaking it though. A CGI-improved monster? Not necessary. Better music? Not possible. Fixing some pretty glaring plot holes in the original? Yeah, that they need to do.

What a fun movie. I don't see the need for a remake but whatever.

Max Landis is a really awful filmmaker.

I looked at his resume and realized I haven't seen a single thing he has done.
