I really wish I could have been there for the brainstorming session that came up with this idea. MovieHole reports that the rumors are true, and a Bill & Ted remake is officially underway. Not a true sequel, reports indicate that this movie will be a relaunch of the series. Think Batman Begins, except with Bill & Ted, and a lot worse. In all reality, this movie will probably more closely resemble the embarrassingly bad Dumb and Dumberer than anything else.Why would such a film be made? Is there some underground die-hard Bill & Ted fan base that we've all been blissfully unaware of? Even fans of the original films couldn't be tripping over themselves to see some floppy-haired no name actor doing his best Keanu impression.
In other incomprehensible movie news, Variety reports that Dimension is currentl
y acquiring the rights to remake the 1986 film Short Circuit. No news yet on the plot of the forthcoming remake, but I'm hoping it's going to be something along the lines of Rocky IV. After achieving fame and fortune, Johnny Five has become soft and out of touch with the common man. Living a cushy life in his mansion with a personal robot butler, Johnny has to rediscover his humble origins to defend his honor and save America by fighting a cybernetically enhanced Dolph Lundgren.
