Either they are really trying to drain the well dry or just running out of imagination/fresh ideas but
it is IMHO that certain classics should never be touched either via a remake/reboot or sequel/prequel

The remake will be a flash in the pan, then it will be buried deep in the Netflix library.

I see thi as a failure ad will not be near the same as the original in all aspects!!

Pretty soon they are going to run out of movies to remake.

I think this movie is a No touch, it´s a classic just like it is.
IMHO, I don´t see the point in making a sequel, or reboot or anything.

Pretty soon they are going to run out of movies to remake.

The direction they're headed....soon the remakes will be getting remakes.

Don't touch list:

Godfather
Goonies
Gremlins
Back to the Future
Star Wars Original Trilogy
Casablanca
Sounds of Music
Full Metal Jacket
Gone with the Wind.

Godfather already has a great sequel and a really crappy sequel
---almost every movie dealing with the Mob tries to redo Godfather.
Back to the future had two HORRIFIC sequels, and is long rumored as having another sequel or complete remake. http://www.imdb.com/list/v08Y3YDanoc/
Star Wars belongs to Disney now. Nothing is sacred. But... George Lucas has been F---arting around with the original trilogy since day one! You can't get the original cuts any more!
Gone With the Wind has a sequel in 1994 called "Scarlet"

I agree with Kraven about the don't touch list,but you just know at some point most if not all will be remade.Surprised Goonies and Gremlins haven't already.

Don't touch list:

Full Metal Jacket

Starring Don Rickles as Gunnery Sergeant Sharkey. Get on your faces and give me 25 you hockey pucks!

Sounds like they're using pretty much the same story line, except it's George Bailey's grandson. I'll be real surprised if it's worth watching at all.

I watch the original every year around Christmas time, that and A Christmas Story.

Speaking of, let's not forget that A Christmas Story got a sequel! I suppose this is fighting against that for the title of "Worst and Most Unnecessary Christmas Sequel of All Time."

Do not touch this movie !!!!! Look what also happened to Wizard of Oz, also.

The 1939 version of "The Wizard of Oz" we call the "Original" was actually the THIRD time Oz was brought to film.
Ben Hur with Charlton was the SECOND time that story was brought to film. Ben Hur is slated for a remake in 2015, I think.

Many of the movies we love are remakes. I am not for remakes and sequels, but some are so successful that we forget about the originals. That is not going to happen with "It's a Wonderful Life", but just want to keep things in perspective here.

If I was running the show, instead of a movie, I would have pushed it as a "world premiere Christmas event" made for TV 2 hr movie (like in the 80s and early 90s... remember the CBS Sunday Night Movie?) and promote the hell out of it.

Cheers, K

IAWL's rights owner Paramount says NO to the sequel.

What DUMMIES to not realize that the movie wasn't in the public domain anymore, although to be fair I'm surprised it ever DID fall into that.

Guess A Christmas Story 2 retains the title for now..

The film itself it in the Public Domain, the story its based on is copyrighted.

What about the two CRAP-tastic sequels to Starship Troopers?
