It looks like Rosemary’s Baby will be next in a long line of movies to which Hollywood has decided to give the “re-imagining” treatment. Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes production company will be doing this one too according to ShockTillYouDrop.com who first reported this.

I just find it utterly ridiculous that out of all of the creative minds in the movie industry the only way they can figure out how to make money is to remake movies that have already made money. It wouldn’t be so bad if it were only a few movies and there were good reasons for remaking them, but Rosemary’s Baby, made by Roman Polanski in 1968, is seen by many (not I) as a horror classic. Why would you want to remake a movie that is considered a classic? There’s just no class in that. It’s simple greed and bad taste.

I think this is stupid. Do you guys think this is a good idea?
