"Howard Stern's Porky's" Gets Closer to Becoming a Reality
Popular shock-jock Howard Stern ("Private Parts") mentioned several years ago that he was planning to produce a remake of Bob Clark's original "Porky's," and it now looks like the project just might be moving forward: Mr. Stern has partnered with producer Paul Bronfman to bring "Howard Stern's Porky's" to the big screen.
Mr. Bronfman indicated that the new screenplay is "on its fifth or sixth draft" -- which is probably four more drafts than a remake of "Porky's" really needs. But with Howard Stern involved, at least we won't have to worry about the possibility of the new "Porky's" being rated PG-13.

on Jun 15 2005 08:57 PM [b]Bad Remakes of Bad Movies[/b] Whose brilliant (I wish a typed text had a way to convey sarcasm) idea was this? Thank goodness Bob Clarke redeemed himself with "A Christmas Story." That anyone would even entertain the idea that remaking "Porky's" is a worthwhile project, is beyond my imagination. Are there no producers willing to make original films anymore? Are there no screenwriters writing original material anymore? (well, that at least I know is not true). No wonder the rest of the world hates America -- just look at the reptetive, unoriginal crap that Hollywood foists on them (and us). Anyone interested in starting a grassroots campaign against remakes? (Reply to this) |

on Jun 16 2005 02:02 AM In reply to this comment (#823165) In a word, matey... probably not. Okay, so that's two words. I'll join your grassroots campaign. My skills include debating skills, writing ability, and sarcasm. A relative of mine wrote the script for a TV series called Grassroots... 'nuff said. (Reply to this) |
