And who said the age of golden cinema died? FFS, everything's remakes or based on existing series/books now! There's several reasons films like Terminator, Predator, Shrek, Romero's 'Dead' trilogy etc etc etc are so popular - and a big one is the originality!

Wow - apparently, the Wayans brothers were thinking of making a Munsters film too, though the word is that is was cancelled due to a lack of funding. Thank fuck for that!
