Oh boy, Hollywood is gonna ruin YET another 80s classic movie...  email this discussion to a friend?

"Adventures In Babysitting" (1987) is gonna remake/sequel titled "Further Adventures In Babysitting" due out in 2010. This time the cast is made up of Disney channel losers like Miley Cyrus and Raven Simone, Cyrus playing Elizabeth Shue's role. This is gonna suck big time, I just know it, sorry to say. There's no way this can be redone properly, not only is the cast wrong for it, the era is certainly wrong for it as well.

You really have no idea if the remake is going to suck. You are shooting it down before it is even made. Hollywood is remaking a lot of movies from the past why not talk about them to. I think that the movie might be pretty good. Raven and Miley are great actresses for their age.

Bunting,

most remakes do suck, there's only a select handful that are great. There are some movies from yesteryear you simply cannot do well enough again to top the original. "The Breakfast Club" and "Alien" are great examples of this. There are few remakes in the 2000s that are actually worthwhile like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for instance, The Omen remake is not since it is a shot for shot almost word for word remake. Dawn of the Dead was highly entertaining as a stand alone film, but as a remake, it pales in comparision to the original. There are just some movies out there where the era they were made in just helps them significantly become what they were and still are today.

I'm sorry, but disney channel level acting (i.e. "Oh my!", "Did you see that!?", "Ew gross!", "Oh let me talk a million miles a minute so I sound like I'm a horny teen on the verge of orgasmic explosion!") does NOT make for quality acting/entertainment, and it will not top the original Adventures In Babysitting.
