Porn Movie Remakes?
No, not THAT type of remake.
Remakes of films piss most people off. It's never really bothered me too much, in fairness, even when they remake favourite films of mine. But I just wonder if, at any point, somebody might start remaking classic porn titles?
I'm pretty much convinced that one day somebody will remake Deep Throat. I'm not sure if it will be another hardcore porn production or if it would even be a mainstream cinema production. Either way, it would be interesting.
Sequels to The Devil In Miss Jones have, I suppose, been remakes of sorts but they've been soulless efforts really only aimed at making money. They didn't really contain any of the original's sniggering naughtiness.
Recently of course there has been the remake of Debbie Does Dallas which has also spawned a documentary series chronicling the shooting of this new version and the trials and tribulations spawning it.
I suppose the question is over whether there have been enough notable porn titles to warrant remakes. In mainstream cinema, they tend to remake any old shit these days, but it's not really that simple in porn.
There's no point in remaking, say, Insane Cock Brothas because it doesn't have anything that lets it stand out from the crowd. Plus, most big name modern porn titles are remakes of mainstream movies these days anyway.
They should probably stick to the older titles then.
