10 Upcoming Movie Remakes NOBODY Asked For

1990's Arachnophobia is a rarest of horror comedies that manages to be both genuinely terrifying and a whole lotta fun - a perfectly assembled B-movie homage that benefits from its game ensemble cast and some killer practical spider effects.

But last year, a remake was announced to be in the works from writer-director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), with James Wan producing and original director Frank Marshall serving as executive producer.

Though spiders remain as petrifying to modern audiences as they did back in 1990, the primary concern for many - beyond remaking such a classic work of cinema, of course - is the inevitability of the remake ditching practical effects for CGI.

There's so much charm in the original film's fusion of real spiders and modest special effects, and that'll surely be lost when they're predictably replaced with entirely digital doubles.

Plus, with production having recently wrapped on Sting - a similarly-themed spider-centric horror film that employs practical effects - the timing might be off.

While Landon is a talented filmmaker with a decent handle on black comedy, wouldn't his talents be better spent on, you know, something new?
