Creepshow to be remade

From CNN:

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) - "Creepshow," the 1982 horror anthology movie written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero, is getting the remake treatment from Warner Bros. Pictures.

Although in the original anthology the stories -- which were written in the 1950s EC Comics style -- were unconnected, the plan is to structure the new movie a la "Go," where stories will have linking characters and situations. A screenwriter has not yet been chosen for the project.

The original spawned two sequels, and the studio is viewing the remake as a way to kick-start a franchise. Warner Bros. is a division of Time Warner, as is CNN.

"Creepshow" finds itself in the hands of production companies with well-established horror credits: Vertigo Entertainment and OZ LA, which produced both the original versions and English-language remakes of "The Ring," "The Grudge" and "Dark Water." James Dudelson, the original rights holder, also will serve as a producer on the new version.

Is nothing sacred? Shit, this movie isn't even that old.

This is pretty old new but yeah. It was announced sometime during the Day of the Dead sequels. In fact, I thought this was supposed to be Creepshow 3?

I really don't know what to think. Anthologies tend to do shitty in theaters.

ie Twilght Zone
Cat's Eye
Tales from the Darkside
Tales from the Hood (!!)

So which one are they remaking part 1 or 2? I used to love part 1 as a kid.

A little OT, That new movie the fog. When I first saw a glimpse at trailer I thought my prayers had been answered and they finally made a movie of the Stephen King short story of the same name. I gave the gas face when I found out it wassn't

what the hell? Why not just call it Creepshow 3?

Cat's Eye and Tales From the Darkside are both really good. The little troll in Cat's Eye used to scare the shit out of me. Maybe this new Creepshow won't be so bad? I loved the first one, the one with the guy and the roaches gave me nightmares for days.

If it's actually Creepshow 3, then good.

If it's a total, story-by-story remake of the original Romero classic (like Melf said, it's not even that old), it's the most fucking gay thing I've heard in my entire life.

Pretty much sums it up.

Crazy, I just finished downloading the original yesterday.
