A few years ago I saw Death at a funeral directed by Frank Oz and I loved it. it was hilarious and I still quote some lines to this day.
But yesterday my brother directed me towards this trailer http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1688273945/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321509/
which made me think of this trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neCY4hh1wJg
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/
go ahead watch both a tell me what seems amiss... WTF right? Its only been three years since the original one. I understand Sales demographic and everything,but COME ON! They even have the same short guy playing the lover. its done by the same writer but I mean really, Does Hollywood have no shame? scratch that, I meant any ORIGINAL IDEAS?

The original was amazing. The remake is way too soon and having the same actor play the gay blackmailer is just stupid. Alan Tudyk FTW.

Re: Death at a Funeral oddity
I could see how the movie might not be some people's cup of tea, however, the idea that Hollywood felt that there was a need for a remake of this movie blows my mind.
I mean I could almost understand if it was in a different language the first time around, like say, "the Ring" or a bunch of other foreign language movies that have been adapted and made in English. "Death at a Funeral" WAS ALREADY IN ENGLISH. Sure they had accents, but COME ON!

It's a movie, there's a niche, and somebody sold the rights. I swear, we're 8 days away from Blackatar

It's only slightly more ridiculous than the plan to reboot the american pie franchise.

Re: Death at a Funeral oddity
I've not seen the original, but I'm gonna take a wild stab, and say that it was a mostly British Film, and now they're americanising it. You know, like what they tried to do with Red Dwarf. And we all know how that turned out.

Re: Death at a Funeral oddity
Thank you for reminding me of this, I have to watch the original before the new version spoils all the jokes :S
But at least Tracy Morgan is there being Tracy Morgan.
