ROMANCING THE STONE Remake Becomes TV Series

Last week, I wrote a post in which I discussed the news of a "Romancing the Stone" remake. Today, in a surprising turn of events, NBC has hired writer Mark Friedman ("Home of the Brave", "The Forgotten" TV series) and director Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum", "Date Night", "Real Steel") to turn the 1984 adventure movie into a TV series. Levy will probably direct the pilot episode and stay on the show as a producer and writer. At the moment it's unclear whether or not there will also be a feature length remake and if there will be one, it will probably be directed by Shawn Levy. To find out more about the remake rumors and the original 1984 movie, read this post : "FLATLINERS and ROMANCING THE STONE Remakes"

FLATLINERS and ROMANCING THE STONE Remakes

Because I am aware that Hollywood has reached some kind of creative bankruptcy, I am no longer surprised when I hear news that movies like the 1984 adventure flick "Romancing the Stone" and the 1990 sci-fi thriller "Flatliners" are about to be remade. It seems like the 80's are very endearing to producers right now, considering we also have a "Dirty Dancing" update in the crosshairs and the "Footloose" remake coming this October, among others. "Romancing the Stone" and "Flatliners" did not gross obscene amounts of money during their release in theaters, but they are pretty popular. Let's take a look at each movie individually.
