YES. Definately!
I’d love to see one.

I recommend the original.

The mindset in Hollywood seems to be “Why do something original when you can recycle the past,” along with “If it made money once, beat it to death as many times as possible.”

Fans of Woodstock are probably so high that they forgot about the old movies.

@Marina without remakes of movies, think of all the shitty actors who wouldn’t have jobs!

@Marina @jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities The “original” was more of a ‘documentary’ than a ‘film’.

@lloydbird Right. Accurate.

@Marina
either remakes or film versions of comic books who were crap to begin with.

marinelife's avatar

@ragingloli Well, I like some comic books, but a comic book does not a film make in terms of depth of character or plot.

I don’t know. Does the world really need another Saw movie or more sequels to the outdated and boring Friday the 13th series?

Why not? If people don’t want to see the film they can pass.
Personally, I’m happy to see Demetri Martin land a movie role.

I bout the 40th anniversary edition of Woodstock the Movie. I will agree that it is a great movie. I have watched it more than 5 times. I don’t think the new Woodstock movie is like a remake, because it has a storyline and it also has Demetri Martin in it which I lurve. I hate remakes but I have a good feeling about Taking Woodstock because it looks great.

I guess we’ll find out when we get the box office numbers for the opening weekend.
