Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted June 2, 2021 Member Share Posted June 2, 2021 I just saw this in the news. I did not put it in the martial arts section as it looks like their interest at this point is remaking the old dramas and comedies as well as releasing movies from the pre color and pre martial arts period. https://www.straitstimes.com/life/entertainment/new-company-to-help-remake-classic-films-from-the-cathay-keris-archive 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted June 2, 2021 Member Share Posted June 2, 2021 I admittedly have little interest in modern remakes of these films but would definitely be interested in having more of these "classics" released in newly remastered versions available for purchase on dvd or blu ray format. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted June 2, 2021 Member Share Posted June 2, 2021 Same here. I'd think it's a financial risk to remake the classics given the strong competition of modern stuff, and the general lack of interest in classics apart from a minority but then again I'm absolutely not able to assess ppl's taste anyway, and they surely know more about the market than I do. I just hope any remake will be a success, to help re-release the classics, and to reward that company's bold attempt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones they mention aren't martial arts movies for sure, but one can still dream a little bit... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
