Lucio Fulci's Zombie
Unless you’ve been in a cave for the past few years, you’ve probably noticed there have been a few remakes of famous movies from the past (and coming soon a remake of Spiderman from like 10 years ago! ugh!). To me this is getting more and more annoying. I understand people have always made remakes of films, songs, art, etc… but when is enough enough? I could go on a whole yellfest about the Spiderman thing alone. I mean why remake a movie that is only 10 years old? What is the future of this trend? Will they remake any movie that made money? So we can expect remakes or re-imaginings of movies like: The Titantic, Gone With The Wind, Jaws(really surprises me no one has remade this one yet), Sparticus, Planet of the Apes…ok, that last one is a joke. Maybe they should just remake movies the next year if it did well.
Any way today I was looking around online and noticed that there is a re-release of Lucio Fulci’s Zombie

It would be cool if they did this more often in my opinion. By doing event style releases like this, they can have it show in limited cities, which keeps the print cost down and it’s limited so people have to go watch it at the few times it’s showing so you get a good turn out (hopefully). If you’re interested in seeing Zombie, visit Blue Undergound‘s site for times and cities. The cool thing about this release too is that they went back and rescanned the film and did color correction. Dread Central has an article and videos about it.
The more I think about it, this is more of a film thing. Musicians may cover “a song” but how often do you hear, a remake of Led Zeppelin III for example. Of course it usually doesn’t cost 200 million dollars to record an album but still. Is it that hard to come up with a creative idea that people will latch on too and enjoy? I don’t think so… I could be wrong…but I doubt it.
What do you think? Do you want more remakes? Or are you freaking sick of them?
