Another Hollywood mistake! An Excalibur remake!

This is sad, just sad I say! Last month we told you how prolific writer Warren Ellis was in the process of writing a script for The Hollywood Gang. Today we find out Bryan Singer has finally won the rights to Boorman’s Excalibur, and the want to remake it. What the #*!) is going on? Is nothing sacred? Variety reports that Warner Bros is dead set on ruining Excalibur with a moden day retelling. Boorman’s film was based on the “definitive” medieval Arthur tale, Morte d’Arthur. Why would Singer and Warner Brothers think they can improve on this movie. Here’s a clip of our previous article on what we think of the original Excalibur
 This one of the classics, it would be like someone trying to remake The Ten Commandments. You just can’t remake a classic. The original EXCALIBUR had brilliance to it that you can’t duplicate. The sexual desire, Fantasy and metaphor that were woven into the tapestry of the 1981 EXCALIBUR were mind blowing. Even today you can watch it and find new mean in it. It’s a movie that transcended film. It’s one of those rare fantasy movies that open your mind. You know what it late. I’m going to go to bed and when I wake up maybe this story never happened. I’m going to go to bed and dream about a time when Hollywood look to put out original movies, instead of trying their hardest to ruin the movies of my childhood. What do you think about the remaking of this movie?
Singer has yet to decide if he will don the directors cap for this train wreck of a remake. For God sakes, make an original story of Aurthur. Are you trying to tell the public all the story’s of Aurthur and the Knights of the round table have been told? PLEASE! Lets hope with the budget crunch that Hollywood is in, we will see this disaster gets mothballed forever!
