Okay, I'm game. I Googled it and found this site at the top of the list, except they have five rules, and it didn't say anything about certain directors or actors being off limits:

quote:



1. Stories in the public domain that have already had multiple movie remakes done.

2. The original is terribly dated in either setting or pacing and style.

3. The original is not terribly well known or beloved.

4. The remake does in fact bring something new while respecting the original.

5. The original was basically pretty cheesy or tongue-in-cheek in tone and most folks wouldn’t care if it was remade.

Call me a contrarian.. I have not seen this Star Trek movie but I take exception to yer list.. I saw the remake of War of the Worlds (with Tom Cruise) and I didnt think much of it.. I found it boring (I guess all the "something new" stuff).. I love the original War of the Worlds!!! yes it was dated (part of its charm) and yes it was very cheesey (cuz it was dated lol).. but i will take that original over the remake any day.. I will reserve my opinion of this new Star Trek movie until I see it (for free) on tv or hulu.. I can wait..
