The 80s — Take 2!
Evidently, each Hwood studio has some researcher on staff whose job it is to sort through successful 80s movies and suggest remakes or sequels. We already know about plans for Ghostbusters III and Adventures in Babysitting. But today, the whole 80s trend gets kicked into high gear with the announcement of three remake projects:
Arthur (1981): A boozy playboy rascal is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family thinks will make something out of him. However, he falls in love with a working-class woman and turns to his valet for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.
Romancing the Stone (1984): A repressed romance novelist travels to Colombia to find her missing sister only to meet up with an American soldier of fortune. The two embark on a cross-country adventure involving a map, a jewel and a private police force.
They Live (1988): A down-on-his-luck construction worker discovers glasses that let him see aliens walking among us and controlling humanity. The man races against the clock to find a way to stop them.
Can K-9 be far behind?
