O hai, fanedit dot org! I have something for youuuu...
Nothing is sacred. The one and only "Citizen Kane of Bad Movies", Tommy Wiseau's magnum opus The Room, is being remade. I'm fed up with this wahrld!
Yup, for real. The remake is happening to raise funds for amfAR, the AIDS Research Foundation, and despite the original's memetic status, reportedly it's being played completely straight and earnest.
And who's playing Johnny, the role made (in)famous by Wiseau? Wait for it: Bob Odenkirk. Yes, Saul Goodman himself! That's quite the upgrade indeed. Greg Sestero, the original Mark, is also in it, but this time around he's playing Chris-R, the one-scene-wonder drug dealer.
To be honest, I don't know what to make of this. My best guess is that it'll be something akin to Bobson Dugnutt's remake of Back to the Future: The Reality Cut. As in, about every aspect of it will be objectively greatly improved, but since the charm of the original is exactly how unspeakably awful it is, won't it stop working, and if so, what is the point really? (Cinematically speaking that is; the charity effort is of course admirable).
