Variety are reporting that the 1986 comedy relationship drama About Last Night is receiving the remake treatment, with flavour of the month, Will Gluck (director of Easy A), attached as producer.
Director Edward Zwick was behind the original version, which was an adaptation of the David Mamet play Sexual Perversity in Chicago (a somewhat misleading title) and featured some of the decade’s most promising stars – Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Jim Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins. In the film, the Brat Pack duo play a couple who struggle to navigate their way through the trials and tribulations of an intense relationship.
Gluck is a busy chap at the moment. Directing-wise, he has comedy Friends With Benefits (starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis) coming out sometime this summer, and he’s due to begin work soon on an (as yet) untitled comedy, which will star his Easy A star, Emma Stone.
I swear, it is one thing when they re-made Batman, when they remade Single White Female, when they even remade Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But this? I have loved this move since it came out. Please do not continue to rape movies Hollywood. Please do not cast Jonah Hill as Jim Belushi. This is madness? Anyone? Anyone? This movie was such a great representation of the 80’s and now they are going to ass-rape this movie. I liked Easy A Will Gluck but that does not give you any right to destroy this movie!!!!!!!
