'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works
grouchomarxist writes "According to CNN the movie 'Revenge of the Nerds' is being remade. Here is the IMDB entry for the remake." I just don't see how this could be good. Unless they let me play Goose ;)
A modern twist on a timeless classic.
While I definitely caught the old ones when I was a kid.. I thought I read that as there was a new one and I groaned. Reread it before I realized that it was a *remake*. Double Groan.
IMDB doesn't mention - does anyone have a cast list for this travesty-in-the-making?
Part 1 was classic. Part 2 was average, but definately had some great lines ("What if... C-A-T really spelled 'Dog?'"). Parts 3 and 4 were utter garbage. I'm glad there's potential to continue this series.
Man, they could at least remake films that had some redeeming qualities in the first place.
This could either be really good or really lame. We shall see.

I can't believe they're going to remake a classic... Their action tonight demands an immediate retaliation. And, if we don't, we're nothing but the nerds they say we are.

I will smash a bunch of glass vases against the outside of the theater, then I'll go in and watch until the song comes on, when I'll bore a hole in the top inside of the theater and jump out of it onto the glass, thereby saving myself from the pain of ever hearing that song again!

Perhaps H-Wood wouldn't be in such a dire financial situation if they came up with something NEW rather than just rehashing the same OLD unoriginal crap. Maybe they could earn a few billion extra dollars? Better make sure they DRM all the media that they distribute that movie on too to make sure all of the thieves out there don't "steal" their crap!

How can they do this? We all know that Goose died after college. In fact, he died again a few years later after being reincarnated as Dr. Greene.
What will they come up with next? A remake of The Posiden Adventure? A remake of The Hidden Fortress?

I think you meant Gilbert, Goose was Anthony Edwards' character in Top Gun.
Sheesh, Taco, think before you write.
They're always great. I suppose it's easier than writing something new. There's bound to be some sort of hollywood remake backlash coming soon... I hope.
played "Goose" in Top Gun...
To paraphrase The Filthy Critic -- http://www.bigempire.com/filthy -- apparently the grassfuckers in Hollywood have humped the 70's dry and there's nothing left to remake, so now they want to ass rape the pop classics of the 80's as well.
I still can't belive they are remaking Superman.

On a serious note, Curtis "Booger" Armstrong does fine voiceover work on Stroker & Hoop.
From the guys who are seemingly responsible for the MTV Movie Award parodies and "Not Another Teen Movie" This has box office gold written all over it...
0Things are looking bleak.. can we just avoid the remakes ? Seems that the industry is in the same pit that the musc industry was in, during the late eighties. Rehashing all the old crap from the 60's. Untill Cobaine came along and shook things up a bit. Maybe the Worchowski(sp? for the nazis) wil be our Nirvana of film? Id rather watch a remake of DeepThroat then this. We all know how it ends anyway.
I have mod points and I am not afraid to use them.
...they can get the original guy who played Lamar. He carried part II.
Per ardua ad astra.
I loved the original "Revenge of the Nerds" (which was filmed in my hometown) and I can't see why... just why would they want to do this. Especially in this day and age where the geeks are the ones making the big bucks and running the companies that are in the news. It's "cool" to be a geek now, unlike in 1983.
The original was filmed on the University of Arizona campus (the A logo subverted into the team letter for the "Atoms" instead). It was released just a year before I went there so it was fun to location-spot. Wonder where the new one will be filmed?

It's bad enough that a component of the "revenge" of the nerds was to demonstrate that they could do as many substances and be as callously promiscuous as the "jocks", but now they have to do a remake of it? The original had enough else going for it that I could look past that negative dimension, which was not the main idea.
Meh. The best revenge is living well, and I'm doing that now. This flick sounds like a "must miss". Isn't anybody coming up with an original idea in Hollywood these days? They just remade The Poseiden Adventure for cyrin' out loud. If they are going to remake something, how about remaking something they screwed up really badly the first time?
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
Hopefully they'll film it again at my alma mater.

are the people in hollywood so out of ideas that they have to remake movies that are perfection?
Yuck. If it isn't the stranglehold of perpetual copyright law killing creativity ("ooooh, can't write about that theme, it sounds too close to something that someone can sue us over!"), outright fear of losing investment money ("Hey, this was a hit in 19xx - let's do it again!"), or flat-out retread of existing 'IP' rights that were purchased ages ago but are now worthless ("man - we paid HOW MUCH for that movie!? Quick! Get Tom Cruise on the phone - we gotta recoup our investment in that thing!")...?
Screw it. I'll be hunting for indie/small-budget/out-of-the-way films from here on out (Equilibrium being a perfect example)... at least until the big motion picture houses decide to stop sucking so hard.

Actually, from what I've heard about it, Superman Returns is basically continuing the story of the movies from the 80's.

Having recently seen Bewitched, I'm half-expecting a Revenge of the Nerds remake wherein the nerds decide to make their own movie: a Revenge of the Nerds remake! I believe this sad, blatantly derivative state of affairs is exemplary of what they call "postmodernism".
Memo to Hollywood: You got your Revenge of the Nerds remake already. It was called Napoleon Dynamite and it was more awesome than all of the trite remakes of the present century by at least an order of magnitude or two.
N4st0r, trixx0r h0bb1tz0rz! Th3y st0l3 0ur pr3c10uzz!
This story broke, like, months ago. I assume they have finalized plans? I refuse to RTFA.
My favourite: the Phantom Goatse Wallpaper Install. It gets the message "I really, really hate you" across like nothing else on this Earth.
When I went with my roommates to see Revenge of the Sith in the theater, they showed a trailer for the Spielberg remake of "War of the Worlds". I launched into my typical rant, asking one of my roommates a rhetorical question: "why does the movie industry have to keep making remakes of everything? Why can't they make movies based off of original ideas?"
The following trailer was for the movie "Stealth". We laughed and shook our heads at the absurdity of it, and when it finished my roommate said (in reply to my previous questions): "that's why."
Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.
Rehashing an old idea is not necessarily bad. Reusing as story isn't necessarily bad. We did it for centuries before the advent of motion pictures, and it's led to some pretty brilliant movies since then when Shakespeare is the source of the rehashed ideas.
The best version of "Richard III" that I've ever seen was a 1995 movie that placed it in a 1930s fascist England. "West Side Story" is a street gang musical based on Romeo and Juliet that is widely held in great esteem (unlike the movie "Romeo + Juliet"). One of my absolute favorite plays is "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," an absurdist take on "Hamlet" from the POV of two bit characters who are slowly becoming aware of their unimportance and impending death by plot. Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" and "Ran" are two of my favorite samurai movies but are based on "Macbeth" and "King Lear," respectively.
The problem is that Hollywood is generally too lazy and too focused on churning out easy money to get it right. If Hollywood rehashed old ideas with style, it wouldn't be so much of a problem. Unfortunately, "Revenge of the Nerds" isn't exactly Shakespeare, and Hollywood's not doing this for any sort of "artistic merit."
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
Given the success with recent nerd movies i.e. Napoleon Dynamite, Hollywood is just looking for a way to make a buck.
"I just don't see how this could be good."

I look at it as just the opposite. I was a geek in grade school. Big time. My friends and I all got picked on, teased, harassed, and abused. It wasn't until we got into high school where we realised there were a bunch of people getting picked on, and that we could work together to over come the bullying. When someone was harassed in high school, we would stick up for them. It's a lot harder for a bully to pick on a geek if they are surrounded by 4 other geeks. Combat boots and trench coats don't hurt either
By my senior year the Geeks and the Hessians (for-mentioned combat boot/trench coat wearing people as they were known in my school) had a pretty smooth life. We had numbers and strong men enough to keep the jocks at bay, the hicks had lost their primary leadership the year before, and the self proclaimed 'wiggers' (truly a retarded title for a social cliche) were all show.
Any ways, any movie that promotes geeks, nerds, and other social out-casts to unite and deter bullying (preferably non-violently) in my book is a great thing.

So what stereotypes will they use from the 00's?
In the 1980's we had:
The Japanese "Engrish" Speaker who took lots of photos
The token minority-minority double-whammy, the black gay
The other token black stereotype: the thug
The cheerleader slut (do those exist anymore?)
The preppy boytoy BMOC (do those exist either??)
Pot smoking as rebellion (is that still true?)
I bet the new version has at least one Arab, and one Indian stereotype. Or maybe they'll be as insipidly crass as "Me Myself and Irene" and make a "joke" by depicting the ever illusive "intelligent black teenage boy" slur.

The original was, well, not even that original a concept. "Bunch of misfits get even with the popular/athletic guys by outsmarting them". If I had a nickel...

No matter any upgrades this film may experience over the original, there is definitely one scene that will *not* make the cut: We've got bush! Imagine full frontal female nudity in any non x-rated film these days...

I don't see how the anti-social, unpopular nerd themse would work in the present day without being a stretch.
After the tech bubble, nerd is chic (So I've been told.) Some of the richest men on the planet are nerds these days. Today, even non-nerds regularly need a nerd around not just to benchpress but to fix their computer so they can get back to MySpace, or to set up their iPod...
Nerds make a great amount of money and have some of the best job opportunities in the hippest areas of the country. Or for example, my corporate, Wall Street type boss isn't some ex-jock use to intimidating people in HS, he's a math major.
So the underdogs have come out on top and really gone mainstream.
Plus with the majority of the country either obese or anorexic, shaggy, long hair apparently in style for young guys, and vintage clothing in demand, what exactly is the physical sterotype of a nerd these days?
The "Nerds" movies lived (ok, survived in the latter parts) on the nerds being the "outcasts", the "weirdos", the smart ones who outwit the stronger and more "successful" (not necessarily with their grades, but with their college life) football jocks.
Today, nerds ain't the underdogs anymore. We're no longer "uncool". RPGs have gone mainstream. So has the computer. And many other geek/nerd toys and pastimes.
So how could you capture the feeling of the 80s with a remake?

RPG's have gone mainstream? WTF is an RPG? I've been in the tech field for over ten years now and still don't know all this gaming lingo; and you expect Joe & Jane public to? What's the old saying, the first step toward recovery is acceptance? Accept the fact that 'nerds' are still the underdog, still made fun of, and still lacking in the sex dept. (doesn't mean you aren't happy though) ;)
One ingredient in the success of the original was the chance to look at pretty, naked college girls.
I saw Revenge of the Nerds II and was amazed that they had left out this essential ingredient. It was actually rated PG-13, not R!
There actually were some clever bits in the original. Like this priceless dialog:
12-year-old genius: I don't want to go to college. I want to play with kids my age!
his mother: You can play with kids your age, when you're older.
Somehow I doubt the new one will be even half as clever as the original. So it had better have twice the sex and nudity, to make up for it.
P.S. You gotta love this bit from the trivia page on IMDB:
When Jeff Kanew was interviewed by the producers, they asked what kind of movie he thought he could make given the material. He responded, "One I would be embarrassed to have my name on." They hired him immediately.
I'm still waiting for six-figure offers.... willing to negotiate.... let's talk people.

...that might not be as far off as you think (or hope or wish), since the Travolta movie is based on only the first half of the novel. And then, of course, there's Hubbard's ten-volume series Mission Earth. Thank you for listening...
Then they could call it "Return of the revenge of the nerds."
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
This always happens when they remake or newmake something. I don't see what all the fuss is about. First of all there is a high number of people, especially younger people, that has not seen this movie, or any other film made before 1990 for that matter, and that never will unless the story is remade.
If the movie is bad either: 1. Dont watch it. Or 2. Forget it. If it is good; have a few laughs, enjoy the show, leave the teater (or turn of the DvD or whatever medium you are using), have a soda and get on with your life. A bad remake does not destroy the original, it only steals a few hours of your time and seriously how much time have you wasted in your life? (Bad movies, books, games, or trying to lear to play the sitar). Surely the loss of two hours is not big deal. Hollywood will continue to produce remakes as long as people keep watching them and they continue to make money. Getting exited, ranting or throwing a fit because they just happen to remake something which matters to you is a waste of time and energy. It is pointless.
So to recap. If good, good. If bad, bad. Whatever the case take a deep breath and move on. There are other things that deserve your attention I am sure.

So, Hollywood will only make remakes of movies that were good in the first place. Which makes it pretty hard to create a remake that is better than the original.
Hollywood's solution to that is fivefold:
All this to make the movie appeal to a "young audience." Unfortunately, the gross of the "young audience" is mainly interested in trash, which Hollywood's fivefold solution will help to emerge.
Here are some movies that should be remade:
Furthermore, any movie based on one of Philip K. Dick's books could use a remake, that does not shy away from the more philosophical sides of his stories. True, Blade Runner is cool, but losing Mercer and thereby totally ignoring the last three chapters of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" were big disappointments for me.

.. we've been hearing the death rattle of remakes for years.
While I certainly wouldn't go nearly that far, I do think this movie was underrated. Much of it was junk (paticularly the silliness with Robert Vaughn's character), but it did have some redeeming qualities. The high school reunion/Lana Lang stuff was well done, the "evil Superman" stuff was very funny, and the "Superman vs. Clark Kent" battle at the end was priceless.
It certainly beats the crap out of the travesty that was "Superman IV." The sad thing is, I remember them selling IV as an "apology" for III. Some apology!
Christopher Reeve IS Superman
No, he hsn't been for a VERY long time now. It's been almost 25 years since a decent Superman film was made. And the depths that it sunk to by the end pretty much killed the film franchise (almost permanently). And of course, I grew up watching the George Reeves series reruns. So I hardly think of Reeve as the only one who can play Superman (though he is clearly the definitive "Superman" to date).
If you want more Superman action, just watch Smallville.
Uh, no thanks. If I wanted to watch a soap opera with a bunch of 20-somethings playing high-schoolers, I'd go back and watch "Berverly Hills 90210" reruns.
From what I've seen of the "Superman Returns" trailer, I was very impressed. The director clearly has a strong appreciation of what made the original Richard Donner film so great, hitting all the right notes. He could have easily done just another crappy Batman-knockoff or an straight "look at all the pretty explosions and sound effects" CGI-fest. Clearly he has greater ambitions.

First, there are dorks. Dorks have no social skills, and while they try to enagage in geek-like technical things, they don't really have the brains.
Next, there are the nerds. They still have no social skills, but in one or two areas they have impressive tech-fu.
Finally, the geeks, who have social skills, although they don't always bother to use them, and who have ultimate tech-fu in any areas they care about.
This is why, for instance, "Star Trek Geek" is a compliment, while a "Star Trek Nerd" is sad, and a "Star Trek Dork" is just pathetic.

I saw the movie when it came out. I was 14. It made me fear persecution. (heh). But the thing is, I never really saw or heard of anyone being accosted and called "nerd!". Did it ever happen, or was this a hollywood invention?
And now... now you see girls wearing tshirts that say "I love nerds". And supposedly "geek is chic". So how do you make a movie about nerd persecution when nerds are kinda "in", so to speak?
PS: Funny coincidence, last saturday I went to a Taco Bell and there were 4 guys there who were BIG NERDS. And I thought to myself "Nerds!". Then I remembered I'm an old fat nerd, so who am I to judge. Heh
I'm glad to see how our modern system of copyright creates such innovative new movie offerings! Otherwise, we'ld just see people copying old ideas without making new ones! I'm so glad this movie is fresh and new!
