I wish they'd really go the Richard Hatch route and play a pair of political prisoner/terrorists who try to show everyone the truth about Witch Mountain. But that'd be a good movie, something Disney stopped making about fifteen years ago.

Can I propose something? When referring to him by name in print, can we agree to write Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson? Since he doesn't really wrestle any more, his "real" name should be used.

Sow we meet again, Ike Eisenmann...my childhood nemesis.

I saw this movie like 20 times when I was just a lil' guy. That's why I know that the cat's name is Winkie. They totally shut Winkie out of the sequel, Return to Witch Mountain, which starred Betty Davis and Christopher Lee.

@BullfightsOnAcid:

Winkie was probably dead by then, whereas Betty Davis and Christopher Lee only wished they were dead.

-Kle.

oooohhhh...Dwayne Johnson...This movie is going to be a masterpiece.

I think the Richard Hatch effect is pretty unique. That guy's got a particular hard on for Galactica, and completely and miserably failed to move past it...ever. He was slagging the new series long before it went on the air, all the while pitching his own re-treado of the original series.

Conflict of interest? Nah. Not at all. Not if you're a Republican, anyway.

As for these two...I suppose it'll depend on the plotline they get dragged into, but it could be more in line with the way that the Thomas Crown Affair with Rene Russo / Pierce Brosnan slotted Faye Dunaway in. It could have been any actress, and the character fit into the plot nicely...that they chose to use Faye Dunaway just gave a classy nod to the original.

Why oh why do I suspect that Disney will suck, though, and write a crappy script that draws these two into it.

Hollywood really has run out of new ideas, hasn't it?

I thought the Richard Hatch effect was becoming a fan favorite on a reality TV show and then milking it for all its worth for like 8 years until you're thrown in prison for being a douchebag.

Those kids must be HORRIBLE people...

why does it seem like in hollywood whenever they need to come up with an idea for a movie they just go to the video store, pick up some old thing, and say "o hai! remakes, we has tehm!" and then proceed to do things to said properties that either end up totally awesome OR totally horrid.

@GenXCub: and I thought it was walking around naked all the time whether other people liked it or not.

Kim Richards is Paris Hilton's aunt.

That alone demands we boycott this retread!

i honestly thought this post was some kind of Onion-esque practical joke-- especially after i read the description.
