10 Again
Merrick here...
Hyde Park Entertainment Group is mounting (huh huh, he said "mounting") a remake of writer/producer/director Blake Edward's 1979 film 10.
In case you don't remember the film (or weren't around to see it at the time), 10 is about the obsession of one man (Dudley Moore) with a girl he believes to be "the perfect 10" on the hot meter...and the lengths he'll go to to learn more about her and insinuate himself into her life. Which, these days, would probably be labeled "stalking".
This is the movie that catapulted Bo Derek into the public spotlight & made women everywhere crave her character's Predator hair style.
Bo's career was pronounced dead a short time later when micromanagement by husband John lead to her appearance in a few of the worst films ever made, including TARZAN, THE APE MAN and BOLERO (both of which were directed by John). Sam J. Jones, who would play Flash Gordon for Dino De Laurentiis a year or so later, played Derek's husband in the original 10.
Regarding the new movie:
After a long campaign to get Edwards to entrust them, the producers have already met with agencies to package the romantic comedy. They hope to engage in a global search for a newcomer to play the new "10."
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.
Okay, so, the first question which comes to mind (besides the obligatory" Why another remake?") is: who should be cast in the role Derek originated? She's one man's object of ultimate desire...
-
+ Expand All
-
...First?
-
She looked amazing in The Aviator.
-
seen this once or twice. dont remember hating it or anything but it never made that much of an impression
-
Bo Derek's REAL classic.
-
She's already auditioning, just check out those candid shots she's always leaking on the web!
-
And directed by Tim Burton.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
Sequelize it. Call it 11.
-
They stink, too. Literally, I mean they do not smell good. Nasty.
-
nowadays they call it stalking"
I don't know about the Bo Derek role, but how about Paul Giamatti for the Dudley Moore role? -
oh wait. wrong TB.
-
Those aren't dreadlocks, they're braids, and since they take a few hours to do, as opposed to the weeks it takes to get proper dreads, they do not stink.
Regardless, her hair could smell like vomit and I'd still be keen on fucking Bo Derrik. You know, like Bo Derrik 30 years ago. -
pioneered the whole Baywatch running thing. was there a slow mo swimsuit run before 10?
-
But I would prefer Scarlett Johanssen .
-
By Rick Gervais. Credulity will be stretched.
-
I think to update it you have to have the chick running topless on a beach...anything else is a waste of time.
-
...looks pretty fucking hairy in that pic.
-
Cornrows. But this movie was kind of "meh" at the time. How they are going to do it--maybe Will Ferrel or Seth Rogan pairing up with Megan Fox. I suppose Rick Gervais could be married (something of a kept man) to Bo Derek, to tie it in with the original. Sam Jones could be the bartender at the bar Dudley Moore's character hung out at (Sam Jones would make an excellent barkeep in any movie, or grizzled bouncer).
-
When I went to artschool between 87 and 91, the dreadlocked white boys all looked homeless and stank to high heaven. I couldn't help but thinking: Take a bath, hippie!
-
Didn't the original suck?
In fact, did the original even have Bo get her kit off?
I think they should offer it to british top heavy soap starlet Jennifer Ellison (Brookside, The Cottage) - she's just done an interview & said she'll get naked if it's a good part!
Will Ferrell is a cunt. -
And his goal is do both of them at the same time. Hilarity ensues.
-
Scarlett Johansson.

Remakes aren't inherently bad, it's just that they are so lazily
by rev. slappy
There is nothing wrong with a remake in theory, people have been re-interpreting Shakespeare for the better part of 400 years. It's very common in the theater for classic material to be reinvented. When you have an interesting new take on the material or a way to improve on it, there is nothing wrong with a remake. The problem with the vast majority of these film remakes over the last few years is they have chosen familiar properties that were done right the first time around -- there's nowhere to go but down. These film-hating pinheads that run the studios are simply repackaging familiar concepts because they are too intellectually lazy and creatively bankrupt to take the risk and produce something new. So 10 will be remade with somebody like Jim Carrey replacing the late, great Dudley Moore, which is just gross. Kind of like remaking Mr. Deeds Goes to Town with Adam Sandler. They also announced this week they are remaking Papillion. Why? The original is pretty fucking good.
-
...a skinny chick and a fat chick, and when they stand together they make the number 10.
-
Yeah, and the 10 is Johnny Depp. That'd be hilarious...and hot.
-
I looked forward to that shit coming on HBO back in the day all the time for the scene where she's basically on all fours and they're hosing her down like an animal. My young mind was just in awe.
-
Lightsabre wielding dinosaurs from jurassic park team up with predator to fight the terminators....in space...with zombies. There you go hollywood theres a remake sequel fusion for you, you fucking wankers!
-
from Tommy Boy right?
-
and Miley Cyrus can be Bo Derek's character. Then finish the film with Martin's arrest for statutory rape.
-
More MILFs please....
-
Kim, the cocktail waitress at Residuals in Sudio City. The closest thing to a "ten" I've ever seen, sure she may not have a great acting resume, but she was a back-up dancer in Spider-Man 3. So ya' know... Come on, she's a freakin' 10 here, cast her already.
-
The original is about as perfect as it can get and there is no fucking way you get a cast of that quality with modern day actors. There are literally MILLIONS OF ORIGINAL SCRIPTS CIRCULATING HOLLYWOOD YOU UNORIGINAL FUCKS! PICK ONE!
-
Will they leave any movie alone??? 10 is a fantastic comedy about mid-life crisis - probably the best ever made. The new one will be CRAP, like all other remakes. All the movies I loved as a kid are getting completely shat on and I'm so sick of it. Yeah, I know, the original is "still there on the shelf", but it still damages the memory.
-
Mmmmmmmmm...Moms...total hotness...
-
Dudley's character played by David Tennant, Bo's character played by John Barrowman.
-
...with cornrows. Cornrows suddenly, and unfortunately come back into vogue. Movie will still suck... but we get to look at Megan Fox nearly naked for 2 hours. Nothin' wrong with that!
-
Before the first 10 was made. So, sadly, she won't be in the running.
-
In a nod to the original. It'll be brief and plaid for laughs, rather than hotness. If anything can diminish the hotness of most chicks, it's cornrows.
-
Not the plaid can't be laughable, that's just not what I meant.
-
Shia Lebeouf as Dudley, and Estelle Getty as Bo. When they consummate, he breaks her hip and she dies of an embolism, but their love lasts forever.
-
but who could play the george burns part? are their even any old people actors making movies anymore?
-
Apparently you've never seen the latest Indiana Jones movie.
-
long awaited remake!
-
Hey I just love the youngsters!
-
She's covered in unsightly tattoos, so she can't be a perfect 10.
-
I saw Flash Gordon in theaters at the age of 10, and as a kid, the series 'Highwayman' was the shit (though were I to see it now, I would probably think it WAS shit), but now he seems to have faded into oblivion...
-
Get bent, anyone who thinks a re-imagined stalker fantasy is worth making. God, the original movie was a steaming turd, Bo Derek was more hype than beauty, and Dudley Moore was an annoyingly creepy shlub.
Yeah, maybe they'll remake "10". And yeah, rotting fish with chilled white wine is a tasty meal.
Yuck. -
this film will be the first time she bares it all...
then maybe i'd go.. -
No play on words here; I mean it.
-
He finds his perfect 10, and her dick.
-
Sam Jones appeared in one episode of the new "Flash Gordon" television series.
-
Jessica Alba or Scarlett Johansson, the only two actresses we can consider a true 10
-
and make the chick be beyonce or something stupid like that.
-
...at Bo Derek's bulbous piss flaps and thick 70's thatch struggling to break the bonds of that swimsuit in the pic above.
-
Wasn't that sort of a mild reworking of 10?????
-
Starring Jaye Davidson as the chick, and Hillary Swank in the Dudley Moore role.
-
With C.G.I. nightglow lightsaber scene???
-
Why do the same story over? Switch it around a bit. Make the protagonist an average-but-pretty Black woman, and make her "10" a geeky, brainy White man. In other words, for her, a "10" isn't based on looks as much as it is on personality, charm, and mutual interests. The caveat would be that he's never dated a Black woman, and doesn't even think they're interested in him. What's more, his parents are backwards yokels who aren' fond of Black people, and he's afraid to get involved for fear of alienating his family.
There's your movie: WGA, PAY ME! -
futon right about now!
-
No, really, he was. In some cheesy 1987 version.Lots of direct-to-video stuff. He was in Hollywood Safari on Animal Planet, guested on an episode of SG-1 and was Krebb in the new Sci-Fi Flash Gordon. He did an "independent" commentary for the Flash Gordon DVD with Melody Anderson (Dale Arden) that they sell at Big Kev's Geek Stuff (no affiliation with me, sadly). I enjoyed it. Sam's voice sounded very grizzled and old, but Melody sounded pretty much like she did in the movie (except friskier). Cost $8, well worth it if you're a Flash Gordon nut like I am. Best. Movie. Ever.
-
Getting someone to replace him is the hard part, hot chicks who can't act (a la Derek) are ten a penny. Moore's scenes with Andrews were hilarious. They should just leave this alone though.
-
Classic porn movie with Brooke West
-
Directed by Terry Gilliam.
-
10 was basically just Blake Edwards unofficially ripping off french film
Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, which itself was then later officially remade as The Woman In Red. Sure Edwards changed up a few bits and pieces to americanize it, and so that his theft wouldn't look quite so blatant, but ripoff it was regardless. -
I want to see that.
-
I mean who, today, is the sucessor to Moore in his prime? If this were 1995, maybe I'd say Mike Meyers. But now?
-
I would love to see that on the big screen since I wasn't quite born yet when it was originally released.
-
MET Art model "Hannah"
Catalina Cruz
Monica Sweetheart
Justine Jolee (however you spell it)
Lanny Barbie
Sandee Westgate
Yup, they're "adult" stars. Yup, they're all 10s to me. -
Wellyeahdamn
-
You saw those pics too, huh? DAY-UM. GILF!
-
i have that 1987 spirit on dvd, i must say me and my friends had a great time watching it i recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it and can find it for some fun cheesyness. i don't know much about the actual spirit comic but his bas is in the cemetery and he befriends a 10 year old black kid who's forced by a bully 13 year old white kid to sell stolen walkman's. until the spirit gets involved that is.

Hey people, just watched the Happening
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
I am a huuuuge M. Night fan. It's a badge I have worn with honor since I first walked into the Sixth Sense. I thought I was going into a Bruce Willis flick with a kid, so I was thinking Mercury Rising part 2 what the hell, I'm on an acid trip with a fellow friend, lets have some laughs. The next 2 hours or so scared the shit outta me as an adult, like I hadn't been since I was a kid watchin Demons(fuckin nightmares for months). Then came Unbreakable. Near Perfection. Signs, Fuckin Wow. Ultimately we come to Lady in the Water. I understand the Hate. It's indulgent, and gives people plenty to pick at, but ya know what?? It is my favorite film of his. It's a personal thing that I still can't defend to people...... That said, The Happening was one of the worst films I have ever seen. Everything about it was off. The cast, the dialogue, the scene with Whalberg saying "Give Me a second", the fucking crazy old Lady. What the Fuck M. Night? sorry people.

also, just watched(grudgingly with wife)Superhero Movie
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
It was a pirate copy so it was free but god it sucked. I did chuckle when Stephen Hawking went head first into the killer bees.
-
only now the guy`ll need ten pints to fuck her
-
Put the volume on mute, fast forward to the T&A!!!
-
Tricia Helfer would be my pick. She, by the way, is in the second season of Burn Notice that just started up on USA.
-
Otherwise why the need for the casting search. Besides, the girl role just needs to look good, not act good.
-
Bo Derek was super hot in Tommy Boy.
GOD! -
She's legal. And she could give Dudley Moores ghost a hard-on.
-
I end up watching all those parody movies. Don't know why. They're never any good. Just rented Meet the Spartans. Dreck. But I watched it all.
-
Yum.
-
My suggestion would be... someone unknown!
-
Jul 18, 2008 12:06:51 PM CDT
MEGAN FOX!!! (there's a REASON guys want her for it)
by theghostwholurks
She's an ELEVEN! >:)Either her, or make it a reversal, where a drunk guy picks up a girl he THINKS is a '10' but wakes up the next morning to find out she's a hag!
-
In a little one-room rented shack in north hollywood. He rear-ended me a while ago, hopped up on coke, driving with his kid in his beat up old car. He wouldn't give me insurance info and kept saying "I'M SAM J. JONES!! I'M SAM J. JONES!!" What an ass.
-
Your idea...kinda like the Heartbreak Kid, no?I second that, that Megan Fox is an 11 though!
-
Did that really happen to you? Strange, I guess he's not famous enough to merit one of those "E" True Hollywood Story episodes.
-
Keeping with the current trend in pre-censoring all movies for the kiddies.
-
Jul 18, 2008 12:45:41 PM CDT
Megan Fox or Scarlett Johnassen
by the guy who slept through everything.
Those are the only 2, also if this movie can get either one naked, I'll go see it in the theater.
-
the Dudley Moore part. As far as the Bo Derek role (place actress here.) Or even better idea don't make it. Translates to stalker movie anyway.
-
"And, he used to be mine!" johnyaztec your idea sounds much better than this. A closet homosexual. A buddy-buddy relationship with a Freddie prinze, Jr. type (perhaps Matthew Lillard?). An awkward game of sweaty volleyball. And, plenty of fantasy sequences, alla "Malena". It could work.
-
the scene where he's flying the smoking, crippled war rocket ajax on a suicide run into mings palace with brian may's guitar blaring in the background. "dale what a damn shame." that shit is bad-ass.
-
and all the other idiots on here. they are called cornrows, not dreadlocks or braids. and if you travel to the carribean or any other tropical destination like that for vacation, you see many girls/women(all of them White) getting them put in still to this day. its just what you do, and in the late 70s that was actually a style worn, mostly by Black people. check out Stevie Wonder (album cover for Hotter Than July), and he still wears a version of that to this day; also Patrice Rushen, who wrote the original song that Will Smith used for Men in Black II. they should cast a supermodel with little to no acting experience, one that would give it that "10" feel. that's why Marisa Miller would be perfect...check out the last SI swimsuit issue and you guys will see...um, that's "Sports Illustrated" in case you don't know what SI is.
-
could probably pull off the cornrows
I'd say amber heard but lately she looks skeletor -
beautiful and sexy women are easy to find, who the fuck is as funny as Dudley Moore was? If the wrong person is cast it will be a comedy about stalking, which doesn't promise to be very funny.
-
I repeat don't ever knock Tarzan. If for no other reason than the great nudity of Bo Derrick in that film. I can still vividly picture her full on doggie position getting her breasts covered in mud. Phenomenal! I'm not saying you shouldn't watch it with Mute on, and fast forward through the scenes where she isn't naked. I'm just saying, don't knock that movie. Because if for no other reason, it's John Derrick's every fantasy about Bo come to life, and he's a pretty twisted dude. That in my book equals awesome!
-
Lame.
-
whomever they cast. If it's some flat ass, narrow hipped plain jane, girl next door type, i'm gonna be pissed...In fact, they should cast someone who's bi-racial: black/asian or black/cuban or black/white...And fuck Scarlett Johanson. The only guys who thinks she's hot are only sayin' that shit, is because they've been told that they're supposed to feel that way, just like the media tells them that Jennifer Aniston or Julia Roberts is hot. Trust me, if you saw Scarlett walkin' down the street, in all probability, you would'nt give that plain lookin' bitch a second glance. I've seen wayyy more hotter bitches at the local mall.
-
You night be right about The Heartbreak Kid... I haven't seen it. But similar premises have also been used in Shallow Hal and other films.And that story about Sam Jones sounds more like something Ron Perlman would do. I hear he's a real JERK! >:(
-
Seriously, why not? Just totally go all out & play up the whole stalker thing, make the dude a seriously sick & twisted twerp. They could get D.J. Qualls to play the dude, fuck it, he could use the work, Fincher or Zombie could direct!! Ain't no one gonna go see this anyway, why not have some fun with it? Fuck, if Warner is willing to throw away huge gobs of money for dumb-ass mind numbing shit like 10,000 B.C., why not this?
-
They could call it "10+" and do advertising with some big fast food chain. This could be the movie that'd break the mold for chubby-chasers everywhere!!!
-
And I'll tell you why. The original was not only understatedly humorous but also a solid serious character drama. I'm betting the remake satisfies at least one if not all of the following compromises: 1) PG-13, 2) loaded with inane toilet humor, 3) no adult sensibilities and hence no true dramatic weight, 4) (SPOILERS FOR ORIGINAL) lead guy actually GETS the 10 (END SPOILERS), 5) shitty pop soundtrack, 6) no scene matching the brilliant awkwardness of the Ravel's "Bolero" scene.Prove me wrong.
-
You don't like Scarlett Johansson. Fine. Your personal taste. But don't pretend that I'm sort of brainwashed idiot with no valid personal taste of my own. I have in fact seen Scarlett Johansson in person out at a bar. And she was mind-blowingly attractive in my opinion. So, yeah, I gave her far more than a "second glance."
-
Monica Bellucci, Rosario Dawson. Thats about it; all perfect 10s
-
Yaaaaaaaaaah, I woke up in the middle of the night to that on HBO, and I remember rampant nudity. And I'm pretty sure it was rated PG. I thought I was having an acid trip watching the credits roll as she played around with a monkey completely topless, looking like some scene out of a twisted Friends gag reel...
-
She has one helluva bush down there.
-
What can I saw? Schwing!Tarzan, The Ape Man was rated R in the US and Ontario . . . but PG in Manitoba? That's what IMDB said. I new that movie wasn't no PG in the states. Too much nakedness.
-
Hollywood will cast in the Dudley Moore role.........Dane Cook. There I said it. May I burn in Hell.
-
With lots of CGI. And this time you get to see the aliens! It'd be GREAT! Plus, ad a female interest to the move. And give HAL special "ship repair tools" that become super-fast dangerous weapons, as the defective computer slowly stalks and kills everyone on the ship. And a hefty rock soundtrack. It'll be genius!
-
...funny braids.
-
Who the hell is Dudley Moore. Was he the guy who rode the ostrich in that shitty superhero movie.
-
wasn't Helen Mirren hot in The Cook, The Thief, The Lover and The PotRoast (or whatever the fuck it was called)?
-
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover . . . She was also Alice Rage in the Secret Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu. Oh, yeah. She's hot.
-
Amy Winehouse in bo derek's role.. give it a chance it could work
-
As shes runs down the beach clumps of her hair and her teeth fall out in slo mo.
-
Jessica Alba is going to get this role, and its going to suck. And lord Satan will get one step closer to taking over the world.
-
http://boozemovies.blogspot.com/2008/06/10-1979.html
-
those of you who are hating on Bo's pubes-grow up. All the women you salivate over probably resemble anorexic prepubescent boys with vaginas.
-
Shoot. It's not.
-
And only Elisha Cuthbert, exposing her glistening, glorious breasts while fucking a quirky-looking comic actor, let's say someone like Seth Rogan, well, maybe not, too much like Knocked Up.She could be exposing her glorious breasts for Paul Rudd! Maybe for Steve Carrell. Why not?Just as long as we finally see Elisha naked, like what was promised in that fucked-up torture porn flick of hers.
-
Faptastic. Actually, she's probably the closest thing to a perfect woman I've seen in my life.
-
I could have sworn I read somewhere that he liked it. Since he's had success with an adaptation, maybe a remake? Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the Moore role, maybe?
As for the Bo role, I think it would be best if they chose a newcomer. -
Great, fat, chunky moose knuckle.
-
Tits grow on trees in Hollywood. It was Dudley Moore that made the film good, and he is irreplaceable.
-
"Dime"
Search your feelings.... -
ChocolateJesusMan, do you actually find Amy Winehouse to be attractive? You would get close to her with your unprotected member?

Megan Fox will age pretty much like milk. Women with Native American heritage tend to look old before their time. I say exploit the hell out of her while she's young to provide whack-off material for future generations.
-
It's going to come tearing out of that swimsuit and then where are we?
-
She's a 7, at best. (Sorry, kids, but facts is facts.)
-
but one night, I fucked 5 2s. That has to count for something. RIP George Carlin.
-
This string of sad re-makes is getting OOOOLLLLLDDDD!!!
-
JOHN GOODMAN in Jackie Gleason's role, and CHRISTIAN BALE as the Bandit, KATIE HOLMES for Sally Field's character, and STEVE BUSCEMI driving the truck in Jerry Reed's role. Then skip part 2 and re-make part 3 with Katie as the Bandit and the "...I'm a PC" guy playing the Sheriff.
Or better yet, just FRIGGIN' SHOOT US ALL!! -
Fuck you. She's beautiful.
