Surely one of the ridiculous remakes of recent times..

Back in 2007, the very witty and enjoyable Frank Oz directed 'Death at a Funeral' was released. It had a largely British cast and it didn't do particularly well at the box office. I actually really enjoyed it though - Peter Dinklage and (particularly) Alan Tudyk stole the show though!

Here we are two years later with the identically-titled 'Death at a Funeral' being released next year.... surely it's a co-incidence. No, it's not - same writer, same general storyline with a largely black cast. But here's the kicker - EVEN Peter Dinklage reappears as the same character from the original film with a presumably identical outcome to the original.

I knew Hollywood were running out of ideas... but come on!!

Absolutely ridiculous!

Black people are funnier, we all know that dont we?

In fairness, it would appear they have introduced some racist jokes of the kind that would get a white actor arrested should they be reversed, that is bound to improve the movie.

I very much enjoyed the original version, won't bother with this, Chris Rock puts me right off a movie.

I made the mistake of watching "I Think I Love My Wife" recently.

Holy sweet Baby Jesus!

The only difference between those 2 trailers is that one said "This Summer" and the other said "This Spring".

Disgraceful!
