Commando Remake with... THE ROCK.
Boys and girls, it is the dawn of a new era in Hollywood... The "don't try to create new, original ideas, just feed off the past accomplishments of others" era. This is such horse manure. The Rock is being rumored to fulfill the Govenator's shoes in a remake of "Commando" reports JoBlo. Now I love the rock, I believe he and Jason Statham are this generation's Stallone and Schwarzenegger action heroes. But I have a problem with all the remakes he's agreeing to do. "Jonny Quest"(TV Show, In production), "Planet 51"(Video Game, In production), "Race to Witch Mountain", "Get Smart", "Doom"(Video Game), and "Walking Tall"... Holy shmoley. I understand reboots of Superhero movies, because actors get older, technology gets better, and the character is still alive in other medias such as Comics, novels and TV. But the onslaught of remakes, reboots, and sequels to movies over twenty years old is a head-scratcher. Making movies is an art and its as if Hollywood forgot that and just became a bank; they want all the profits without any of the risks involved in a new and exciting ideas. Well, enough of my rant, again, it will probably make a gazillion dollars and we'll all live happily ever after.
