Parent Trap no, Freaky Friday yes. The Parent Trap remake's DVD came out YEARS before the original hit DVD, whereas with Freaky Friday the original will be released in a special edition similar to Vault Disney collection in order to promote the remake's DVD. And you should still see the Parent Trap remake.Captain Hook wrote:NO WAY!!! How in the world can they do this? I mean, I guess it's good because we get Mary Poppins Special Edition, but I HATE remakes, as I've said before. I guess the Parent Trap and Freaky Friday remakes got us the DVDs, also...
As for the Mary Poppins remake, I'm mixed on this. This could actually be decent if it's a SPOOF of the original Mary Poppins, but if Disney is making a serious remake then this going to bomb and bomb hard. I guess Chicago and Bringin' Down the House weren't enough for their Latifah fix.

I think there's a problem with consistancy here. How many people on this forum have said how much they enjoyed the REMAKE of Freaky Friday?
I don't see why a remake of Mary Poppins should automatically be dismissed before anybody knows anything about it?
By all means critisise away if/when you have seen the film, but please show a little more restraint until you can make a valid critisism. No film deserves to be critisised blindly
We know very little about this film - based on the casting I would say that this is more likely to be one of those 'reimaginings' rather than a remake. I doubt for instance that it will be set in London. Do we even know for example that it will include all the famous Mary Poppins songs?
Plus, I know for a fact Disney are joining with Cameron McIntosh to create a Mary Poppins stage production. Could this rumour infact be based around a stage production? Regardless, I can't remember anyone complaining about the news that Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King were going to be mounted as stage productions when each of those were announced.
As I pointed out in another post Chicago is a film of a musical of a film of a film [*] And yet that won best picture. I don't hear anyone critisising that!
If the new Mary Poppins film is made and the film stinks then by all means complain and critisise. But give the film a fair chance and stop prejuding!

Eh...
I do generally dislike remakes (in the sense that it has been made once, no need to remake it). If it was a good movie, there is no need, and if it was a bad movie, god knows why you would even bother...
Similar to my sentiments on sequels, I don't think remakes do anything to "ruin" the original - it will still be there for us to enjoy. We already have one copy of MP on DVD, and rumour has it we will see another next year. So a remake will change nothing.
Anyways, as 2099 says, we have so little info on this now - I will reserve judgment until we hear more (or even more boldy, I'll wait until I see it until I judge it! Shock! Horror! )

I have mixed feelings. I'd rather see an actual remake (taking place in early 1900's London), but than an African-American nanny would not be all that historically-accurate. And I really don't want to see a modern-retelling, with the songs done in bland covers to connect with today's audiences.
Defy Gravity...

Oh... I still haven't gotten the original Parent Trap, isn't that dumb? Oh well. Perhaps a Mary Poppins could be good, but I'm still a little worried. Why not get Julie Andrews again?Disneykid wrote:Parent Trap no, Freaky Friday yes.

So, is Lindsey Lohan really that good of an actress to pull off two of my favorite movies in remakes?
Although I have yet to see Freaky Friday, I've heard from many critics that Lindsey's performance is very convincing as the mother in the child's body, and based on the clips I've seen, I think it's true.
As for Parent Trap, yes, yes, yes! I felt Lindsey was better in both roles than Hayley was, and that's saying something because I love Hayley Mills. The Parent Trap remake overall is more sophisticated than the original and less campy. You really should see it.
