Boogeyman was pretty decent, so not the worst news ever.

There should be a list of films Hollywood is not allowed to remake.This is one of them...bad fuckin' move

"Boogeyman was pretty decent, " what kind of shitty fucking crap movies do you people watch? oh wait...boogeyman..got it

Is there any reason you have to an asshole?

BOOGEYMAN sucked dogs dicks for quarters. Fell asleep in the theatre almost with its drivel ADD edits & lackluster title boogeyman. But..we'll see. Poltergeist is classic & well made.

This like sum 41 re-doing the White Album. This will suck.

boogeyman sucked and so does all the other pg-13 so called wanna be horror flix. they suck. horror should be bloody, gory, and fucking nasty scary shit. they aint doin it

They'll probably get that little queef from Hide And Seek to play Carol Anne.

Nerve-jangling sequels? Colon-jangling is more like it.

That's awful news!

Why don't they remake BLOOD HOOK? THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME? How about something that needs an update or could benefit from a remake??? Hollywood is a bunch of lazyass motherfuckers who need to start making some original shit. "let's remake Shaun of the Dead! The English accents might be hard for us to understand" *sarcasm* I PRAY TO GOD THE SUSPIRIA REMAKE GETS CANCELLEND.

"...starring Daeg Faerch as Carol Anne Freeling."

they better not get fucking Dakota Fanning to play the little girl! at least get somebody nobody knows. we all need to start boycotting this shit so Hollywood will get off their ass and do some originality. The only original stuff comes from Indie filmmakers and over seas.

I have to say I even like the idea of remaking this film as well. There are certain films I feel that could excel at being remade. Same as on the Childs play remake though please use very little CGI. That is what hurts most horror films they dont have the budget for great CGI and even when films have the budget it still looks off, and just takes you out of the film. Its as bad as being in the theater and getting into the film and then theres that jagoff who starts talking behind you. And why is it that the fucker who is always talking in the theater is right behind you?

Is steven speilberg going to produce this? Boogeyman was alright...Dakota sucks ass...Get that little girl from Little Miss Sunshine...she's better!...

yes! Abigal Breslin is awesome. she can actually act, too.

i can understand studios remaking TCM, Freddy and Jason and Michael cuz we all love those characters and wana see more of them, but why remake this? its classic and should be left alone.

AHHH! Remakes! I'm shitting myself with fanboy rage as I continue to UTTERLY FAIL to comprehend that remakes have been around since the earliest days of cinema, and will continue for as long as they make money. Man, if only businesses would do things purely to satisfy me, instead of doing them to make a profit! I mean, what the hell kind of greedy jerks actually want their movies to make money so badly that they would dare to tap an existing property with proven name value that's sitting around unused?!?!? What selfish douchebags! I think all remakes, sequels, homages, movies inspired by other movies and plays, movies adapted from novels and comic books, and any other film that isn't 100% wholly original in every sense of the word should be banned forever! That way, no movies would ever come out, and unnecessary remakes would stop coming along and wiping the classic originals from existence, creating a permanent barrier that keeps new generations of film lovers from ever seeing or enjoying those classics. And while I'm at it, fuck anyone under the age of 17 if he or she wants to see a scary movie in theaters! They can go fuck themselves, because it just isn't fair to us adults to have to wait for the DVD releases to see unrated, gorier versions of horror films! No movie can ever be scary without buckets of viscera and dozens of bare tits in every other scene. No movie that isn't at least rated R is worth a steaming pile of monkey shit, or deserves to be called a "horror movie". I mean, the original POLTERGEIST was PG, and look how un-scary it was... Oh, wait.

'bragging rights?' 'i told you so?'... whaat? Dude i think no-one really cares who said what first :/

Why can't hollywood start making new stuff? Leave the old stuff alone. Jeezus Christ...there's dozens upon dozens of comics that are great that could be adapted into movies...like for instance, Y The Last Man, I just read that and it was fucking fantastic...

Just once, I'd like to not hear something about a remake

that dude jk whateva the fuck up there needs to chill out. Damn dude. smoke sumtin

Boogeyman was shit on a stick! Also, how can you possibly do better than Speilberg. Seriously, the original was all sorts of Speilberg(they even say that Hooper and Speilberg swapped directing duties more than once during the shoot). And that was during a time Speilberg was still a rocking every movie he got his hands on! You can't do any better.

I agree with the second comment, there should be some kind of rule or law that prohibits a good film from being remade. It just breaks my heart to see cash-craving sons of bitches desecrate masterpieces. :(

Why oh why would you give this to the writers of Boogeyman? There was not one competent moment in the whole of the film. It was nonsensical, boring and lacked any real conclusion. From what I gather from Boogeyman this Poltergeist remake will start out slow, move onto incoherent and end with some really lame CGI that serves no other purpose but to distract from the fact that the resolution makes no real sense. If the people behind this decision had any common sense they'd, at the very least, not mention Boogeyman anywhere in the press release. This is the last thing that genre fans want to hear.
