Bryan Singer is remaking everything ever

Friday, August 21, 2009


So... many... remakes.

Just a few days ago it was announced that X-Men director Bryan Singer is at work on a thoroughly unnecessary upcoming Battlestar Galactica reboot. Now word comes that he is also planning not just an Excalibur remake, but a new take on Jack the Giant Killer as well. Jeez, some days it seems like every single movie released in 2010 is going to be a remake of something from my childhood.

Well, who knows, maybe Singer will make something worthwhile out of Excalibur. But when it comes to Jack the Giant Killer, he'll have a devil of a time trying to improve on cinematic greatness like this two-headed giant vs. sea monster vs. dog vs. chimp fight. (God, this movie is a ridiculous gem.)

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
