FATAL ATTRACTION is being re-made...with LL COOL J!!!

[Seantn]

The subject sounds like a bad joke, but...From fangoria.com:

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a remake of the 1987 psychothriller FATAL ATTRACTION will be the first film in a multi-year, multi-production deal that rapper/actor LL Cool J has signed with Lions Gate Films. According to the Reporter, Cool J, who has previously starred in DEEP BLUE SEA and HALLOWEEN: H20, will be “taking on a much more involved role then he has with his [previous] films.” Cool J and manager Jason Barrett of Alchemy Entertainment are set as producers, while LGF president of production Michael Paseornek and senior vp of production John Sacchi will oversee.

First on the actor’s plate will be an “urban version” of ATTRACTION, which starred Michael Douglas as a philandering husband who is stalked by his jilted mistress (Glenn Close). States the Reporter, “Cool J will play an everyman who gets into serious trouble when he engages in an extramarital affair.”

They don't call it a comeback for a reason...

Ha. I made a funny.

[PopcornTreeCt]

Lemme guess, Gabrielle Union will play the psycho? Probably her or the other 4 or so African-American actresses that populate Hollywood.

[Seantn]

Maybe LL Cool J is married to Jada Pinkett, but he cheats on her with Queen Latifah. Then Queen Latifah goes insane...more insane than now.

:lol:

[big whoppa]

Lynn Whitfield was a crazy ass bitch in that one! :)

[Legolas]

It's only a matter of time before ASHTON KUTCHER movies start getting remade.

[mjeeves]

I thought FATAL ATTRACTION director Adrian Lyne already remade this with Diane Lane and Richard Gere as UNFAITHFUL? Just with the roles reveresed.

Bitch, where's my ride?

Are you thinking about Gabrielle Union of Bring It On fame?

Who ever she is, good luck boiling the family pet THIS time!

[loconav]

Cool J, cheats on his black wife with a white women.
Kicks the white women's ass to the curb.
and she comes back looking for revenge.

Once you go black you never go back!

[ytrez]

I'm guessing they'll try to cast Eva Mendes or another hispanic actress in one of the female leads.

[Dr. DVD]

My guess is they'll want to have a least one hip-hop/R&B actress in the cast. Maybe Beyonce as the Glenn Close character. While we're at it, let's not forget a Tone Loc cameo as the wisecracking friend of the husband! If they go for a hispanic, then I do suggest either Eva Mendes or maybe Salma Hayek.


Please, let this be a joke.

[darqleo]

Halle Berry or Mariah Carey should play the crazy, shouldn't be too far of a stretch.
:D

Just heard that Vince Vaughan, Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller are going to remake Shaft......

[Seantn]

It's been an entire 5 years since the other remake came out. What the hell took them so long.

[Jippy]

Wow. Just...wow. Cinema has no shelf life anymore, it seems. Fatal Attraction doesn't need a direct remake. Like others have pointed out, Lynne seems to bring up the theme every 8 to 10 years anyway, so why bother? I guess I'm just gettin' old and grouchy.

I was kidding you know....

oh yeah

Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace and Vanilla Ice are going to remake Boyz in Da Hood

A "suburban remake"? :)

[Mr. Cinema]

Urban remakes are always a good idea and very successful. Just take a look at "The Honeymooners". That was genius!

[big whoppa]

We now only need "cracker" remakes of Barbershop, Waiting to Exhale, and The Color Purple. Britney Spears takes on Whoopi Goldberg's character in The Color Purple. I smell hit, folks!

I have no idea what you're talking about. ;)

[Fincher Fan]

I think Gabrielle Reece should be in the film so she can knock down the walls for black actresses everywhere.
