Out of Good Ideas!

Michael Bay is ruining yet another film.

The big budget, special effects-crazed director/producer is remaking the classic scary movie, Rosemary's Baby. You know…the devil made her preggers movie!

Bay's company is also remaking A Nightmare On Elm Street and previously worked on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre update.

He needs to retire!!!!

BLASPHEMY!

Leave that classic alone! Besides the best part about Rosemary's baby is that it just reeks of 60's mod style.. a modern version would be so lame.

yes you've definitely got a point - i don't think they should update or re-do any movie, unless it's been damaged. it's art, it's original, keep it that way. thank god we haven't updated any van gogh paintings yet, but who knows, it's probably next on their list

I apologize if this is a duplicate post, my internet went crazy in the middle of my comment.

I have heard that his company is also planning to remake "The Birds" and "Friday the 13th," in addition to "Rosemary's Baby" and "Nightmare on Elm Street."

TRAVESTIES, all.

Britney's new video SUCKS. What a waste of a great song! The video lacks sooo much imagination and has no dancing. Its basically a cartoon rip off of toxic! I'm a big fan of Britney and i'm quite disappointed.

I'm not sure how anyone could remake it. It's a complete classic. It's not even on the same level as the other films he's remade, and is wanting to remake. The only way it could even compete with the original is if the cast is excellent and they really try not to make the story any different than the original if he tries to make the version his own, it'll be ruined forsure. Why taint something classic? I watched it the other day, and loved it. It's not something that needs rework.

why??? u cannot top the original. why do they keep re-making the best horror films?? so sad…i hear they are going to even remake Nightmare on Elm Street. that is so wrong.

I personally liked the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and the other theater-goers seemed to as well. (The sequel/prequel sucked though.) Afterwards I watched the original on DVD and was surprised at how cheesy bad it was. The young kids in the movie were so annoying that I was rooting for Leatherface! Ha! I think when people watch these so-called classic movies in their youths it seems better than it actually is because at the time they're considered "shocking" and pushing the envelope. I've always heard that "The Exorcist" movie is amazingly scary but I watched it for the first time when they rereleased in theaters in 2001 and thought, "What's the big deal here? This is not scary at all." People are recalling how they felt when they watched it in the 70s.

michael bay's direction is outstanding! transformers, did anyone pay attention? he did almost everything in front of the camera and did minimal by a computer, that is art in itself. anyone who results to computers for everything just seems lazy to me. it you pay attention to every frame of that movie, he and his crew did an outstanding job.

your title says it all— i mean, this movie is absolutely perfect and should never be touched/remade/anything. it's so annoying. next we'll here the lindsay is playing mia's role. i mean, he might as well go camp cuz he sure as shit isn't going to improve the movie. nobody could look or act better than mia in that movie.

———Michelle Williams would be soooooooo perfect, however she can do so much better than starring in a Michael Bay remake I'm sure he's bound to butcher beyond recognition.
I'm hoping if she's approched she turns it down. She deserves far better.

Seeing how no one can come up with any new ideas that work… why not ?

While I loved the orginal and don't think anyone could come close. I would like to see Michelle Williams as Rosemary.

If he must remake Rosemary's Baby then he should make sure to keep everyone for the Son of Rosemary. Ira Levin's follow up to RB, which was one hell of a creepy read !

What's so wrong with michael bay? i think he did an awesome job on the texas chainsaw massacre remake, and he did one hell of a job on the tranformers movie. sounds to me like someone's just got a case of the jealousness. i can't wait to see what he does with nightmare on elm street, specially since i heard robert englund was attached as freddy!! and what he does with the friday the 13th remake..ya know, the one WITHOUT jason?

Re: hannah – agreed. i'm more excited to see this than the "matrix brothers" craptasticular speed racer movie..how the fuck are you gonna make a movie about speed racer? and to top it off have it all CG…guess that is all they know though, eh?
oh yeah, i forgot he made the amityville horror remake too. i thought he did a damn good job with that as well. and if all you people that are bitching and moaning about them doing remakes have any better ideas for movies, why don't you make your own and STFU!?

Movies should only be remade when the first one sucked or when it was ok but not great. Rosemary's Baby was a fantastic film the first time around…it should be left alone.

Yeah, everything he touches that's been done before he ruins. Blech.

A Truly BAD Idea! says – reply to this

93

It reminds of when Psycho was remade. Everybody ALREADY knows the ending! Some movies are such classics that a remake is pointless and ends up tarnishing the reputation of the original. It's sort of like an insult to everyone involved in the production of an original, innovative and superior film.
Rosemary's Baby is the rarest of the rare when it comes to truly creepy, scary movies…a quality flick with great performances, script, art direction, cinematography, etc. Whoever thought this was a good idea ought to be ashamed of themselves!

eff michael bay!!! who the hell does he think he is leave perfection in the past. and here's a thought come up with something original. I worked w/ m. bay on a lexus commercial years ago and he was a total cheesy prima donna.
Also annoyed that the people that have the rights give them up to him. ill nothing is sacred.
What A Derivative Hack! says – reply to this

95

Bay has also remade "The Hitcher," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and "Amityville Horror," with a remake of the Hitchcock classic, "The Birds" in the works. Does this asshole have an original idea in his head???
What will Bay remake next? "Citizen Kane" or maybe "Gone With The Wind?" "Rosemary's Baby" is a modern classic, and it shouldn't be sullied by what's certain to be an inferior remake!
