With Antonio Banderas a Roarke and Spielberg directing, this might be interesting.

Nothing against Eddie Murphy, but I think it won’t be the same. I didn’t even like the latest version with Malcolm ‘Clockwork Orange’…

The original show had such great creepy moments, which were really the best part. This “family comedy” promises to be campy crap.

This has been “in the works” for so long that I’m hoping it remains no more than a rumor. Judging from past remakes of good old shows, it’s almost guaranteed they will destroy the premise. “Fantasy Island”, the original, is my all-time favorite show, and if a mob of enraged fans does tear him to bits, as Marth Vader suggested, I’ll be one of ‘em. Why can they just release the rest of “FI” on DVD instead? Three years since Season 1 and nothing more in sight! (sigh)

Gee, that’s such a logical actor progression.

Ricardo Montalban –> Malcolm McDowell –> /Eddie Murphy/

It’s bad enough that Murphy continues to be allowed to act in original (and I’m using that word lightly) movies, but a remake of something that people are actually familiar with?? I sort of hope a mob of enraged FI fans tear him to pieces or something.

If he’d just quit acting forever after Dreamgirls, he could have been remembered in a semi-positive light. Nope.

Why must they always ruin a classic? A comedy? Stupid idea! They almost made a comedy of Six Million Dollar Man with Jim Carey. Glad that never happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! What a horrible idea. I can just see it now. Edie Murphy sitting around a big table farting in 12 different costumes.

I hope the scipt is better than the most recent movie disasters.

I love the old show and I am not sure how you can spin this show, unless you do something around how fantasy island was created.

Hopefully California will break off from the US and sink before they can start filming this disaster.
