A remake is now in the works.

I just learned from a couple of industry workers that Columbia Pictures is going to do a remake of the film. And this time the Blue Thunder Special Copter is going to be a drone.

Seriously?! A drone?!

It's bad enough that the 1983 film was remade as a less-than-entertaining television series in 1984.

Now, it is worse when Columbia decides to remake it again.

Seriously, does Hollywood have a serious lack of creativity and originality?!

Obviously, it does.

I like the original concept of Taxi Driver in the sky. Vietnam vet or, now, Afghan/Iraq vet flips his noodle and goes on a rampage with th chopper. That would seriously rock!!

A drone? Well that blows the entire movie out of the water from the start.

Shame, too. I'd like to have seen a real remake of this.
