This isn’t our usual sort of topic but it had to be shared. Over on io9 we have a report that Arnold and the Hollywood peanut gallery at large are taking a serious look at remaking some of his iconic movies. For his part, Arnold said he was excited to get back into acting the moment his turn as Governor of the whiniest and girly-man-i-est State in the Union came to an end.
Arnold told website, TheArnoldFans.com:
“Well, first of all it’s more 15 films, obvious ones from The Terminator to remakes of Predator and The Running Man and all of those things. Then also a lot of original stuff too. But I am also packaging a Comic Book character right now. I’m going to announce that sometime by the end of March or the beginning of April.”
He then yelled for everybody to get into the chopper, and then get down, before apologizing for the puns he was forced to puke out in his turn as Mr. Freeze in the movie Batman and Nipple… err… I mean Batman and Robin. (Get it? Because of the nipple closeups). Uma Thurman maintains that she offered her apology for Ivy in Kill Bill (and what a glorious apology it was). I’m not going to lie, I am not excited about this remake fever (remake Top Gun and I WILL END YOU!) but consider my curiosity piqued.

I am totally not surprised about the whole remake possibilities. Especially after reading http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201102/the-day-the-movies-died-mark-harris?currentPage=all
*note to self: create an independent movie studio and focus on original work*
i have a few questions? Why?, Why?, Why?, o and Why?,
Because you touched yourself. You did this to all of us! *runs away sobbing*
So Agrippa, but this pretty much means there’s a Top Gun sequel coming out soon: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201102/the-day-the-movies-died-mark-harris?currentPage=all
They’ve been trying since 2006 and it keeps failing to materialize. Mainly because Tom Cruise wants to star in it (he’s the one trying to make it happen). *sigh*
