Now they're going to remake "Das Boot"

Yippee.

 

Will it be a "Das Re-Boot"?

 

^ D'oh!

 

Funny, though that only works in English, since "boot" in German is pronounced similarly to English "boat." http://www.forvo.com/word/das_boot/

 

I guess the sole is worn...

 

Instead of doing a straigh re-boot, they should change it somewhat and follow a crew of a WWI German U-boat.

 

I'm game...why not? why would anyone care if they remake a movie? it's the movie business...

 

With a half-female multicultural cast of young, buff models, all up close and personal in a sweaty sub lit in teals and oranges? Cha-ching!

 

Too late, it's already been done!

 

As usual japanese Anime stuff is always ahead of the curve - I bring you "GIRLS UND PANZER"



And what is totally mystifying, it is actually a great series.

 

*rimshot*

 

Because some of us enjoy original ideas. Studios get more money out of me when that happens, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

 

From the article:

That doesn't sound good. They're probably going to turn it into an action movie.

A remake of "Raumpatrouille Orion" could be fun, though.

 

I wonder if they are going to include some young blonde girls (added drama) and re-write history?

True. But I had to run with it.

 

More evidence that mainstream entertainment is creatively spent. This classic movie is definitive. Why re-make it?

Perhaps it needs to be "dumbed-downed" for modern audiences?

 

I thought it was already remade and called U-571.

 

That film is a disgrace to the memory of British servicemen by rewriting history so that Americans save the day. Again. Why even bother basing a film on fact?!?

 

that's great but, some of us enjoy a remake...

 

that'll be saved for the remake and then it's sequel...

 

Remakes should be reserved for bad movies, not good ones.

 

And they're probably using the techno-version of the beautiful theme-song...

 

good ones, bad ones it's just a remake and nobody's forced to watch them...let's let those who want to enjoy them.

 

Imagine if it was remade in the US - Tom Cruise as the captain and a crew of Taylor Lautner lookalikes. Seriously, it's a great movie. How about re-writing Great Expectations or Catch 22 while they're at it? Or repaint Guernica so the people have better teeth and kids of 2015 can relate to it?
