Hollywood has officially run out of ideas

[wildstorm]

I was perusing IMDB and noticed that remakes of Prom Night and April Fool's Day are being remade. Why has Hollywood run out of ideas for horror movies?

[gothamknight]

Because everything needs to be rated PG-13 nowadays. Good old slasher flicks need all that gore, swearing, and nekkid ladies running around that an R rating would give them.

..You just noticed hollywood has run out of ideas?..lack of fresh screenplays started about 25 years ago!..and not just horror films..'Get Smart:The Movie' is on the way soon!..eeek.

IMO.....'Prom Night' and 'April Fools Day' had even less traction with audiences back then than the 'Friday the 13th' sequels........I know that a re-make shows just how unoriginal Hollywood has gotten lately, but perhaps with these particular movies, it will get audiences to take them more seriously (and perhaps get the original a special re-release perhaps? ;))

oh and I just saw a poster for an Alvin and the Chipmunks live action movie.

Never much cared for Prom Night, but April Fools Day did have its moments...
