In terms of remakes, the grace period seems to be getting shorter and shorter. At this rate, I imagine there'll be a remake of Moulin Rouge within the next five years. And you're right, I'm sure the music will be butchered mercilessly. I’m glad you agree. In terms of remakes, the grace period seems to be getting shorter and shorter.

I don't even mind the idea so much,and Efron probably wouldn't do that bad in the role, it's just that it's too soon for a remake. The movie's not even 25 years old. Plus, the soundtrack is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I just can't stand the thought of having current artists murder it with covers. It's a movie, along with Fame and Flashdance, that just belongs in the early '80s. It was believable at the time with the strength of conservatives and the Moral Majority that there actually could be a town that banned dancing.
