Dangerfield to Remake 'Back to School'

LOS ANGELES (AP) - It's "Back to School" for Rodney Dangerfield. The 81-year-old comedian has signed a deal with MGM to remake the 1986 hit comedy, his publicist Kevin Sasaki said Friday.
The bug-eyed comic won't reprise his starring role as a brash businessman who becomes a college freshman. But he may have a cameo and probably will receive a producer or executive producer credit, Sasaki said.
Dangerfield retained some rights to the movie when MGM bought the film library of Orion Pictures, the original distributor.
The decision to remake the film follows Dangerfield's successful brain surgery in April. The procedure was designed to improve his blood flow for an upcoming heart valve replacement, which has been put off for at least nine months, Sasaki said.
A scheduled July 19 show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas has been postponed while Dangerfield recuperates.

I don't know why either. ??? The '86 version was just fine.

I can (sort of) understand a sequel but a remake? That just doesn't make any sense. It will probably suck too.

Those were my thoughts as well, Catwoman. The remake will probably have more references to rap and hip hop culture and be more crude and less funny, IMHO...
