No...Just No... Seriously, WTF Are You Thinking?

In the aftermath of Sony Pictures pulling Spider-Man from the MCU, their CEO seems to be determined to make it clear they are not to be trusted with making good decisions.

It was announced that they are looking at doing a remake of The Princess Bride.

Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra said, “Very famous people whose names I won’t use, but they want to redo The Princess Bride."

I don't care how famous the people are, this is a truly bad idea. Already a lot of famous people have come out saying that.

This is one of those idea that is not needed and has no rational justification to it.

Chances are it will not be as good as the original, which is a practically perfect movie, and if you look at such remakes, they rarely make much money.

The announcement itself has already upset fans, which shows that no one wants this. I've yet to find one person who is excited over this idea.

Just putting the idea out there weakens my faith in Sony, which has not been high for some time now.

We can only hope that some level of common sense wins out and they look elsewhere for franchises to exploit due to them lacking the ability to come up with original ideas.
