With Hollywood's continuing love affair with sequels,prequels,and remakes we are getting a remake of Sound of Music.

And that is the sound of groaning at Hollywood's strong possiblity that they will screw this up.

Why? It is what it is, why does it need updating? (other than to make money of course)

That article describes Carrie Underwood as an 'iconic artist' but I don't even know who the fuck she is.

Carried Underwood is an American idol winner who has been doing country music for years now.

OK no. This is going too far. I've loved the Sound of Music since I can remember and I do NOT agree with this!!

 

[Soakette]

I don't agree either. Every remake hollywood has done usually goes to shit. People should leave classics alone!

I ACTUALLY CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MAD THIS MAKES ME

I don't even see how something like The Sound of Music could work in a contemporary context anyway?

 

[Sprites]

NO, just no, why would they go and fucking ruin a good thing? This is absolute bullshit!

so apparently they're not remaking the movie, they're just doing a live broadcast of the stage musical

which i am much more okay with

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I'm... actually pretty ok with this.

An out-and-out remake would all have ended in tears, I know it. /marvin

Movies like The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life you just don't touch, people still watch them today and a remake would go horribly wrong.
