Information:

Re-make of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - set in Newzealand, director who did Sherk directing

Re-make of Willy Wonka - Willy Wonka played by Johnny Depp

Goonies 2 - Goonies never say die! Apparantly is being made, featuring the old cast and a new cast. HOPE IT IS TRUE

Rumours of John Travolta talking about doing a new Grease with the former cast of Grease 1.

I do not know this information to be 100% true or 50%, just stuff I have read about on the net. But because I'm sad I hope to god they are true.

thought that marilyn manson was going to play willy wonka .....slight change of subject here but did anyone buy the wonka bars a year or 2 ago i never did find my golden ticket:(

I'd have thought Mr Travolta would be a bit long in the tooth nowadays for all that strutting about in tight leather trousers in another Grease.

Could be good though I suppose, Grease was a classic.... And with the original cast back it should be great if it's right that they're doing it.

I notice it is now
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/)

instead of

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0067992/)

Yep I have heard that Johnny Depp is going to be Willly Wonka too, and that Tim Burton is directing it so it should be very good.
Also a kid from this area (not sure where exactly) got down to the last 2 for the auditions for Charlie - don't know what the outcome was.

Jack Nicholson would make a good Willy Wonka!

the poseidon adventure and towering inferno (post 9 11 not a good idea!) are rumoured to be re shot!

Why bother? They're perfectly good movies as they stand.

I must admit, a remake of War of The Worlds is one things I would go and see.

Bought one in FAO Schwarz in Vegas a year back - no golden ticket for me either. Nor in the second, third or fourth bars :mad:

Me too, the 1953 WOTW movie had almost no connection to the book, other than it had Martians in it who died from exposure to bacteria.

This (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/) will cheer you up then.

Could be good but how close will it be to the HG Wells WOTW book?! IMO they should do a movie of the Jeff Wayne musical version.

Sorry but I just think of the possibility that once again Hollywood will bastardise a true bastion of classic British sci-fi :loopy:

I worry for The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Someone in Hollywood will suddenly wake up to the fact that it's Christian Allegory and the PC Police will have a field day re-witing it.
