"Westworld" Remake Lands a Director

by Scott Weinberg | August 12, 2005

Summary

Director Tarsem Singh, best known for the bizarre Jennifer Lopez thriller "The Cell," has been tapped by WB and producer Jerry Weintraub to helm their remake of "Westworld," says Variety. Long discussed as a project for Arnold Schwarzenegger, the remake looks to get underway with or without The Governator. Back to Article

The Cell was F*ing awsome. Nice to see Singh making another film. As for waiting till 2007 for Arnold, screw that, lets get the show on the road.

I would rather have them wait, becasuse the longer it takes, the more it has a chance at being a better movie.

[b]Ban All Remakes[/b]
Even though it now has one of the most interesting directors working today, "West World" is yet another example of how Hollywood has completely lost any shred of creativity and originality it might once have had. Shame on Mr. Singh for attaching himself to what will undoubtedly prove to be yet another soul-less remake of a much-loved classic. Sure, the original "West World" is a B-movie, but it's also fun, original and funny as hell. I can hear screenwriters with original ideas all over America screaming in frustration...

I have been saying that the two movies I would like to see redone were Westworld and Logan's Run. One wish comes true.

i think arnold should go back for T3 than just go back to the governer's chair but he shouldn't do this movie if he's gonna do anything do T3 that way the movie's gonna come out quicker and arnold dosen't have to be in it either way west world looks good

I actually think remaking west-world is a good idea. It had a unique concept that seemed great on paper but didn't materialize in film. I'll be interested to see what they do with a remake

You know they already did a remake of this movie... It was called Jurassic Park. And now they're making the 3rd unnessasary sequal to that, AND a remake of West World... That's kind of like making The Island, and then a remake of Logan's Run... or like making 28 Days Later, then a ramke of Dawn of The Dead, then a parody of Dawn of The Dead then a Sequal to the original Dawn of the Dead... Wow, I never looked at it that way... they really have run out of ideas...
