They’ve remade Gene Wilder films! Willie Wonka as Johnny Depp. Leon Bloom and the entire cast of The Producer as WTF! Leave Gene Wilder alone! He was great. He was awesome. So is Mel Brooks. They should not get their body of work remade by a bunch of Hollywood f@#$-wits.

Leon Bloom and the entire cast of The Producer as WTF!

I didn't see the remake of "The Producers", but Mel Brooks co-wrote the screenplay and also co-produced, so I wouldn't put it in the same category. It was remade as a musical, so it is more like what "High Society" was to "The Philadelphia Story", which certainly could not be improved upon (Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart), but is a fun movie in its own right (Grace Kelly was NOT a convincing frost queen, however).
