... First up is Fox assigning Daniel McDermott to write a remake of the 1984 Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner adventurous rom-com Romancing the Stone. The original was a big hit that ultimately sent the careers of both Douglas and Turner as well as co-star Danny DeVito and director Robert Zemeckis into the big time. I actually enjoy the original pic and it still holds up as a solid '80s flick telling the story of a romantic adventure involving a jewel and some baddies. There is no word on what kind of, if any, changes will take place to the original story. ...

RomancingtheStone.jpg I'm seeing some strange decisions in Hollywood of late but here's one of the strangest, remaking the classic and star heavy Romancing the Stone.

I can hardly believe it. A remake of the classic Robert Zemeckis film? Apparently so, although no one is on board as yet. Despite what The Hollywood Reporter says, ...

... to name a few, really knew how to throw characters into a wacky plot and make it a best. With the exception of the Lord of the Rings movies, we haven't had too many of them in this decade. But in the grand Hollywood tradition of remaking everything that didn't flop, one of the 80s classics may be coming back to teach us a thing or two about adventure.

As I sit here in the middle of the night, three remakes hit the wire. Is there something in the air? All are annoying, and I'm sure some of the other lovely Cinematical writers will deal with them, so I'm going to stick with Kathleen and Michael. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Fox wants to bring Romancing the Stone back to the big screen. Kathleen Turner. Michael Douglas. Danny Devito. If you don't remember, or know (sacrilege!), the film focuses on a romance novelist who goes to Colombia to deliver a package and free her ...
