Good to know where Cruz's mind is at: Alyssa Milano, basketball games and movies. /s

Andre the Giant said working on the film was one of the best times of his life because everybody treated him like just one of the guys.

Yawn.

The Princess bride can't be repeated really, because the magic was dependent on the Chemistry between the cast members.

Read the book. Its one of the rare cases where the movie is legitimately better than the book (which was written fourteen years earlier.)

Some times remakes are a bad idea, and I suspect that given Goldman's source material another version would turn out as awful as the Willie Wonka remake.

They’ve run out of ideas folks, remakes are their only option anymore.

The idea of remaking classics like Casablanca, Blazing Saddles, Deliverance, Princess Bride etc etc...is, well, INCONCEIVABLE!

No, do the PB remake! Think of all the money wasted on, for example, the SJW Ghostbusters, that could have been spent on Lefty-political causes!

Go ahead and burn that cash! No one will watch it anyway!

Yeah Ted! Pick up that important mantel of not remaking a Rob Reiner movie and meeting with a B-actress over gun consfiscation. And this moron wonders how a bigger idiot like Beto almost beat him? Maybe Texas should tell him why he’s there in the first place! Texas Nothing! Twitter, Everything!

Above all, don’t remake “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”.

Hollywood is morally bankrupt. They no longer have any creativity. They are so far Left now, whatever they touch, they destroy.

It’s one of the all-time great adaptations from page to screen, so I’m sure they will redo it just so they can take a big dump on it. The cringy shoe-horning in of diversity, queer stuff, and feminism should be fun for the whole family.

Hollywood has run out of ideas. It doesn’t really matter since they have already succeeded in their mission of making lots of money while destroying our culture.
