Author Comments:
My emphasis is not on whether they are coming but on whether they are attractions. I see them as either unneeded remakes or ideas whose time should never come.
Some of these could also be listed as "Coming Unnecessary Remakes": Dirty Harry, East of Eden, Don't Look Now, Sunset Blvd., The Pink Panther, ...
Indeed, as I say in "Author Comments", I don't doubt they are coming, I doubt they are attractions. And one of the reasons many of them don't attract me is that they are unneeded remakes of movies that are unlikely to be improved upon. Others strike me as ideas we don't ever need to see brought to the screen.
