MANNEQUIN, the 1987 tale of boy meets inanimate object with boobs is being brought back to life.
The newly relaunched Gladden Entertainment are the ones responsible for this project.
Gladden produced movies such as THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S, and that Christian Slater gem GLEAMING THE CUBE. The company wants to modernize the plot and are looking to cast some "TWILIGHT-esque" kiddos in the lead. Galdden are said to be in early talks with studios, and looking for a writer.
Hmmm...I wonder if instead of Andrew McCarthy they will have someone like Miley Cyrus as an Abercrombie & Fitch employee, and she falls in love with one of the sparkly shirtless mannequins. Hey, it's possible.
I won't lie though, I am a sucker for cheesy ass 80's movies. MANNEQUIN wasn't bad on a Sunday when I was sick watching TBS. My only hope is that it has cheesy music and a fabulous replacement for Meshach Taylor.

They seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel now for remakes.:csad:
 
Christ....:doh:

Anyway, they'll never top the likes of Andrew McCarthy, Kim Catrall, and G.W. Bailey (Capt. Harris from Police Academy).
 
Speaking of Police Academy. I'm sure a remake of that will be mention by years end.:csad:
 
I could totally see a Police Academy remake with Zach Efon as Mahony.

Actually I think I recall that there were plans on another sequel, with most of the usual suspects returning: Michael Winslow as Jones, Steve Guttenberg as Mahoney, Bubba Smith as Hightower, GW Bailey as Harris etc.

The rumors also mentioned that Tackleberry's son would take his dad's place since David Graff passed.
 
saw that bit of news early this morning. i remember seeing the original many yrs ago.
 
Get JC's mo-cap! So now we'll have a mannequin move as it comes go life.



Oh, and I'm sure Clueless will be remade in the next four years.

So who do you think they'll cast as the Mannequin?

The two leads will probably be played by two actors from the CW Network. One of them from Gossip Girl and the other from Vampire Diaries.
 
Who's gonna play this guy..?

Remaking Mannequin? :dry:

What makes them think they can improve on greatness?
 
The remake is missing something....

Much like how the Karate Kid remake is missing Peter Cetera, this remake needs some Starship.

The fact that those guys used to be Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship makes me :waa:

Also:

 
There is no reason for a remake, I love the first 2 just the way they are. Just make a 3rd movie & leave it at that.
