Hey, I didn't know there were that many remakes of Rear Window. I actually posted a thread on this site talkin about what a huge piece of monkey turd the movie Disturbia is because it so blatantly rips off Rear Window, but I'm not aware of the Christopher Reeves version and the Guttenburg Version. Wouldn't that make Disturbia the third remake?
Also, I've notice that even when Hollywood isn't remaking movies, the are constantly regurgitating the same concepts in movies in different wrappers. Perfect example...the movie Next starring Nicholas Cage. Isn't that going to be like the one-millionth movie that deals with the subject of clairevoyance in some way? Let's see, Firestarter touched on that, of course there is The Dead Zone, The Gift, Minority Report, Jeepers Creepers, the Final Destination Trilogy, Fear (not the new one starring Mark Walhberg), the Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and many others. Not to mention the large amount of tv shows out there on psychic abilities and clairevoyance. The 4400 (which I love and is actually very original and not all about clairevoyance), the Dead Zone, Medium..that's just a few, I'm sure there are more out there that I'm missin.
I'm not sayin Next won't be good, but I just don't know how many other ways there are out there to spin the same concept and keep it interesting. I for one would love to see Hollywood come up with something that hasn't been done before.
Even the new movie Invisible is a concept that has already been done, most recently in Just Like Heaven. The first occurance of that concept that I know of was that movie starring Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin that I can't remember the name of. (It was a comedic spin on the whole thing but even still the same)
