Cary Elwes sums up reaction: `Thereīs a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this oneīThereīs no official news that a Princess Bride remake is in the works - donīt panic - but the mere mention of the idea has been descended on by fans of the original, with the actor Jamie Lee Curtis, the filmīs original star Cary Elwes, and even the US senator Ted Cruz among those declaring it `inconceivable`.The drama began with a Variety profile of the filmīs producer Norman Lear. In the article, Sony Pictures Entertainmentīs chief executive, Tony Vinciquerra, was quoted as saying: `Very famous people whose names I wonīt use, but they want to redo The Princess Bride ... Not a month goes by when we donīt have an idea coming from some very big name wanting to do things with Norman.`Thereīs a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one. https://t.co/5N8Q3P2e5GOh really? Well, I married the six fingered man, obviously why we have stayed together for 35 years and there is only ONE The Princess Bride and itīs William Goldman and @robreinerīs. `Life is pain highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something!` https://t.co/hv33UIZKN3NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Sonny, The Princess Bride is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT, mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. Theyīre so perky, I love that. DONīT MESS WITH PERFECTION. https://t.co/A2lWFlq2yBI would never dare.You`ve fallen for one of the two classic blunders! The first being never get involved in a land war in Asia but only slightly lesser known: never go in on a Princess Bride reboot! https://t.co/1AZkr41gDIIīm rarely a `donīt remake this` kind of guy, because I make an effort to be near-pathologically optimistic, and I try very hard to believe that there may be some genius version of a remake that I lack the vision to imagine. All that said, donīt remake the Princess Bride. https://t.co/5LvQ ...
