Remake mania continues! This time, the obvious remake... the one everybody's clamoring for... TAPS?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I really don't care enough about the original TAPS to feel offended at the idea of remaking it, but I do feel a little like, "Why?" There are so many good stories to tell, why spend the effort with this remake?

That's not to say that I dislike the original. I haven't seen it in a long while, but I remember it being really solid. I guess I really just don't love it enough to be all fire and brimstone on the idea of remaking it...

20th Century Fox is producing it, Frank E. Flowers (HAVEN) will write and possibly direct.

If you don't know about the flick, it's about a group of young cadets who overtake a military academy in order to keep it from being demolished and turned into a condo.
