Miami Vice

Ghey, if you are going to do Miami Vice it has to be all the way. Leasure suits and palm trees set in the 80s.

This modern version of old movies is bullshit. Poseidon? Ghey with shitty actors. No fucking originality anymore.

In defense of setting remakes in modern times: when the originals were made, often times they were set in a contemorary setting and so what we now view as "classic" was fairly "normal" when they were being made. While most of us are cool and think "classic" rules (e30 anyone? ;-)) the general audience, particularly the younger crowd, will ultimately relate better to something set in the present. So instead of "updating" a "classic" they're really just adjusting the stories to fit with the modern world and therefore make it more aproachable to broad spectrum of people. Keeping things in the same time period that they were originally created in is tricky because it's very easy for it to slip into parody.

That said, leasure suits and palm trees would still kick ass...

Yeah but a remake of Miami Vice is going to be a joke to begin with so you might as well go all the way with it.

[Fidhle007]

Good point :-)

Ah what the hell, I'll still go see it.

And just for the record, there's a Heat video game coming out next year...
