Well, Marti was one of the better writers on Buffy and Angel and if I'm not mistaken, is pretty hot as well. (She played the news anchor in Dr. Horrible's Sing along blog, along with other co-writer, David Fury)

there's no reason to remake this. its a terrible idea. roddy mcdowel is perter vincent period. there is no know one who play that. he was one of most important and loved characte seeing someone else playing the role will just ruin this remake to me. dont do it you

*Gasp* Another remake we don't need? Surprise, surprise! What's next? "Shocker"? "Pulse"? I'm sure "Poltergeist" is in the pipeline.

Brand-O - Was that sarcasm? Wes has confirmed the Shocker remake, Pulse WAS a remake of an Asian horror flick and yes, Poltergeist IS in the pipeline. New to the site?;-)I dont understand all of the hatred for remakes, reboots, reinventions, etc. The fact is that the classics aer still classics. I understand wanting to preserve the classics for the next generations but, really, if you threw on the original House on Haunted Hill or, more appropriately, the original Fright Night most people that are too young to remember the originals would just walk out. Not enough FX and no CGI. Now I LOVE the original and I always will. It doesnt mean that Im going to boycott this or anything unless it winds up looking like crap. All the remakes do for me is remind me how great (or how bad) the originals were. Now if they start taking dead stars and doing remakes using their CGI image or something, then I may be seriously offended...

Anybody want to bet it's going to be changed into a Twilight type of flick, with Dandridge being some poor misunderstood bloodsucker instead of the evil vampire he was? Remakes are a joke, and the sad part is people keep paying money to see them despite how awful they are.
