Hollywood is so full of pointless remakes these days that it’s hard not to be disappointed to see a book you love turned into a crappy film, or a TV show you loved turned into a crappy film, or a film you loved turned into a crappy film.

But at least the world is going to have to deal with one less crappy movie remake to deal with – a proposed remake of 1984’s Revenge Of The Nerds produced by Charlie’s Angels director McG and some boy from The OC has suddenly been ditched at the last minute by new studio offshoot Fox Atomic. We know what you’re thinking, and we agree – why couldn’t this have happened to Alfie. And The Italian Job. And Bewitched. And The Wicker Man. And any Asian Horror film you’ve ever seen. But not the Magnum remake. That we’d like to see.
