Read the report on the Romancing the Stone remake.

The latest on the new They Live.

The film industry is going green—by recycling three films from the 1980s. The Hollywood Reporter says that British radio host Russell Brand will step into Dudley Moore's shoes in a remake of the 1981 comedy Arthur. Meanwhile, Eagle Eye screenwriter Daniel McDermott is rewriting Romancing the Stone, the 1984 Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner-starred adventure film. And finally, Universal Pictures is negotiating the film rights to John Carpenter's 1988 They Live. The cult hit is most well-known for the line, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum." Hollywood, it seems, is all out of original ideas.
