Ok. Stop it. All of you. Stop remaking movies. Stop remaking good foreign films to suit lame American audiences who refuse to read subtitles. Stop remaking classic American films because the youth doesn’t understand why there is no color or nudity.
Now, the picture above creates a new issue. DO NOT REMAKE A THREE YEAR OLD FILM, THAT IS ALREADY IN ENGLISH. Sure, it was technically a British film; and yeah, it was played mostly at art house theaters and didn’t make money. But you know what? Sometimes the best films out there aren’t seen, or don’t make money. They are the ones I still try to call art versus just being a product.
Death at a Funeral (2007) was art. Death At a Funeral (2010) will be a shitty, knock-off product.

OOF
K… under normal circumstances I would agree with you. I would even put forward the idea that the “black funeral” thing was covered with Kingdom Come
But have you seen the trailer? OMG! The little person from the first version is asloin this version and… ohmyword it looks funny. Plus, James Marden is in it! He’s dreamy! How could you not support that!
Okay, the original was really funny.
There is no need for this crap.
I have a feeling people only feel this way because there are very few white people involved. Seriously.
Also no one has seen the movie yet, it might be good.
I mean The Departed won a fucking Oscar.
agree. 100% F—-
Actually the original kind sucked and wasn’t funny:
Is the dwarf in blackface?
Question: Is Zoe Saldana Hollywood’s go-to-girl for interracial relationships? I’m sayin….
Pardon? Isn’t that a naked James Marsden? Stay this madness.

Oh God no. I loved the original, BRITISH version. I’ve always known Martin Lawrence would do something like this to me.
At least it’s the same midget from the original one!
Really? They’re really doing this? Oh, well. There goes any lingering faith I had in Hollywood.
WTF?! Why’d they re-make this movie?!
Funeral, but it’s funny because...write something eerily similar
