Mannequin Gets A Remake

wenn1847032man.jpg

Yes, another remake!

Some geniuses in Hollywood are remaking the 1987 cult classic Mannequin that starred Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall.

WHY?

Gladden Entertainment execs are said to be in the "early development" stage of the remake, but they are envisioning a plot of the man crushing on a "laser display hologram" as opposed to a mannequin.

Way to tailor it for the new millennium!

We know Kim Cattrall is going to stay far, far away from this one! Say no to the cameo!

      Noooo. You don't remake cult classics :( ( They should stay untouched. This was one of my all-time favorites as a child.

      OMG I Love this movie I grew up watching it like evryday! They should not remake it, Hollywoooood!!!



    7. 7

      This might be the one role that Nicole Kidman could play. She already has the talent and emotional depth of a mannequin.



    8. 8

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

      the original rocked. You can't take the eighties out of that one.

      I liked that movie Al Pacino S1m0ne where that dude falls in love with a computer character thing. Similar idea, was quite well executed. admittedly I was like 14 when I watched it.



    10. 10

      It's the perfect comeback vechile for Miss Lohan. Her chemistry with Channing Tatum is boxoffice gold.



    11. 11

      NOOOO!

      I actually never saw the original so that a remake is being made matters little to me.
      The producers need only look to the wooden "actresses" on most CW series to find their perfect artificial woman.

      Hollywood needs to get more creative…



    16. 16

      NOOO!

      Leave good enough alone - firmly marked in that wacky and mysterious era of my childhood known as the 80s!

      If it is not broken - don't mess with it!



    17. 17

      I won't watch it. Major fail for Hollywood running out of ideas and ruining classics.



    18. 18

      Yes because laser display holograms are EVERYWHERE!



    19. 19

      Why…. this was such a great movie leave it alone!!!!



    20. 20

      ew!



    21. 21

      I liked that movie! I can see them messing it up haha



    22. 22

      From this film came the absolute love song classic Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.



    23. 23

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! No one could replace Andrew McCarthy.



    24. 24

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      Leave the '80's alone.



    25. 25

      this would be a great remake. considering technology today is so advanced, it would be really interesting to see how different it would be

      Kim could be THE MOTHER….oh wait, she doesn't want to admit she could be the mother of a early 20's-year old.



    30. 30

      oh for Gods sake when will this remaking madness end!?!
      they never do the original justice. The best thing about this movie is the cheesey 80's music, the awful clothes and the production.
      What's next, The Princess Bride?!

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



    31. 31

      OMG! That was the WORST movie back in the day…why in the hell would they waste money to remake it? I swear Hollyweird is giving up nowadays in the creative department. Now tis all about going into the archives and dusting off a new and updated version of some POS show. Good lord! Awful idea!



    32. 32

      Re: kimmybobs – AAACK! Shut your mouth and don't give them ideas! Lol… Princes Bride is MY alltime favorite and if they tried to redo that I would have to burn H-Wood down! lol!



    33. 33

      I loved this movie! Is there a severe shortage of writers in Hollywood? You can't remake cult films!
