"Remember the 1984 movie The Last Starfighter? Well, someone has gone and created a modern trailer for the film and it makes me want to 1) Watch the movie on repeat and 2) See a sequel or remake finally get made. Too bad that will probably never happen."

"The only problem with a remake? It seems no one (not even Steven Spielberg) has been able to secure the rights to the film. At least that's what Seth Rogen says. Every nerd in Hollywood, Rogen included, has apparently been wanting to remake The Last Starfighter for years now. So what's holding up a remake? According to Rogen and Slash Film, the writer of the original, Jonathan R. Betuel, owns the rights and doesn't have any interest in a remake. Betuel's other credits include the late 80s Freddy Krueger TV show and the ridiculous 1995 Whoopi Goldberg buddy cop comedy Theodore Rex."

If it keeps Seth Rogen out of it, I'm cool with that.

Probably because it was a Universal picture.
