NOOOOO!!!!! to any and all remakes / reboots / sequels to this movie! Besides... the original had Fred Savage from his Wonder Years prime years, and it had Columbo in it, who is no longer with us. And it had ANDRE THE MOTHERF***ING GIANT in it!
You can't replace or remake any of those people!
Cool interviews with all of them... and I think they've all aged pretty well, even Billy Crystal considering he was already middle-aged when the movie came out. Too bad we couldn't hear Andre's commentary on the movie, I would have LOVED to hear that!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
Honestly I enjoyed The Princess Bride back in the day a lot. I would be very skeptical if a remake were to be announced however I wouldn't shoot it down immediately on principal. The Princess Bride in my opinion could be improved in minute ways and if the right director and cast were found a remake has the potential of living up to the original.
In the end I must say I haven't seen many remakes that are actually better then the past one. However the new Conan reboot I found to be vastly superior to the original so it is possible. A major problem is the remakes are never direct remakes with better acting , sword play and effects. Studios always hire new writers and directors each who want to put their own stamp on the title.
This means that the plot does change either vastly or a little but it is never the same plot it was original. A remake is a huge gamble in the fact that you set the bar very very high and its extremely hard even with today's technology and budget to live up to the expectations you have created. Then their is nostalgic value, even if your film is technically superior the fans have a memory of what the product was it has effected their identity. Can your product not only live up to the quality bar the original set but to the much higher expectations fans have created in their heads over the years based on memories.

ooooooooh, i loved that movie =)
there was just something incredibly endeering about it.
hmmm, even though i know they'd screw it up i'd like to see what a remake would look like
No please I would hate a remake, sequel or whatever. The Princess Bride is one of the best movies ever so just leave it that way.
Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?
I would love to see a remake for this movie.
Why is it when I hover my mouse over this thread topic it says -32 posts?
Why do you keep making threads over and over?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

It would be inconcievable if they were to remake this.
