From the article.

"The upcoming version won't be a remake of the 1984 comedy, which hasn't aged all that well and has been criticized in recent years for depictions of rape. Instead, the contemporary reimagining will pontificate about today's nerd culture and what even constitutes a geek in the 21st century."

I'm guessing we won't be seeing bush in the new version either.

I imagine I'll pass on this, as the original was just so politically incorrect that they simply cannot do any semblance of justice in today's stupid climate.

Yep, that's what people want from their college boner comedies - pontification.

Can't wait for the Porky's remake. IASIP already did this.

I watched that movie as a teenager and figured my college experience wouldn't be far from the Tri-Lambs. What part of the movie was depiction of rape?

I'm assuming it's when the cheerleader thought Lewis was really Jefferson D'arcy? He ended up marrying her and had kids (later movies), and the football guy married a chicken and moved to Chicago.

First: the OP calling this thing a "classic" is a tad of a stretch...

Second: of all the things that could be remade...someone thought this was a good idea...fascinating!

It's being remade so they can put alphabet people into it...although I'm sure those Omega Moo's were alphabet people. (yes, I know it's Mu)

I'm glad somebody is addressing this. It is pedantic, but not every movie from the '80's is a classic and certainly Revenge of the Nerds isn't.

That was part of the joke of getting into an all black frat (depicted as strong, alpha types) is they had Lamar as their lone member.

People say this but don't y'all realize Blazing Saddles is satire? It could (not should) totally be remade. Look at how much Tarantino uses the N* word.

Why do Nerds need to take revenge anymore? They pretty much rule the world now. The richest people in the world are mostly computer nerds. Nerd pop culture is huge. Bullies get crushed online. Unless they make this a Revenge of the Jocks, it makes no sense.

I would say, if you are telling a completely different story, then you can't use the title and call it a remake.

Almost every part of the Greek Games wouldn't be allowed now. All the talent show stuff, the cross dressing alphas, the Rho Rho Rho BJ joke plus the events like the drunk race, belching contest, Pi for charity, the javelin designed for Lamars limp wristed throwing style. It's all so great.

The dirtiest thing ever said on television. I don't know.

Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night.
