I’m against the recent remake-spree in Hollywood. Just so you know. We don’t need another Evil Dead—we need an Evil Dead IV. We need to see the spineless coward Ash doing something new.

We don’t need another Scanners—well, actually that might be fine but only if it’s helmed by either Cronenberg himself, Richard Kelly, Terry Gilliam, Edgar Wright or Darren Aronofsky. Someone who can go bugfucking bonkers and just do the weirdest possible thing you can do with the concept. But that won’t happen, so no, we’ll probably won’t need the new Scanners either.

But since Cronenberg did a remake of his own, that he’s against remakes feels a bit odd. Of course, it might just be he just wants them to be made by a competent director. And the main problem if you ask me is that the original movie is far far too recent to be remade. But still…

1. Fletch fighting zombies. That´s what we need. Dr Rosenpenis as a sidekick obviously. He can sing and everything. Finally a zombie film I look forward to.

2. A remake on Goodfellas with Eddie Murphy doing all the parts in lots of makeup. And Keanu Reeves will be playing the part of Eddie Murphy.

3. Goodfellas? Now that you mention it, Blow. Ray Liotta as Depp´s father. He must be at least 5 years older. The weird thing is that it works. “Put some gray in his hair”. And he looks 70. Maybe they gave him some facial-make up as well, but it didn´t look like it.
   
   Maybe another thing too, and not to screw your idea, but just maybe, Peter Jöback could do the swedish voices (and this is back to your Goodfellas). Boo would watch it. He´s hooked on Emmylou now. Precious.

4. Emmylou is a dirty ol’ bitch. Just like that spider-ho. Whores, the lot of’em. Whores, I say! Praise the lord, spank the whores, hallelujah!!
   
   Sorry. Long weekend. I begone now. Amen.
