BY ETHAN AAMES The Hollywood Reporter reports that three more actors from "Scary Movie 3" is joining "Scary Movie 4." Carmen Electra, Simon Rex, and Leslie Nielsen will all return for "Scary Movie 4," along with Anna Faris and Regina Hall.
Not that I have anything against this series, but how long will they beat a dead horse? Remaking the Pink Panther, good idea jackass. If anything makes money, expect a handful of clones. Harry Potter made money, so you get Lemony Snicket. LOTR did well, so we get the Narnia movie. Individually some of the films may be worth it, but they're the exceptions--a great story and/or director. But they're being made because they fit the mold. How often does an innovative story get on the big screen? And forget it if you're waiting for an intelligent film for adults.

I think the movie makers just want a mad lib thing, fill in the blanks. A cinematic formula to guarantee success. But people, or intelligent people, are sick of that cookie cutter crap for $9+ a ticket. If it’s a formula, it’s going to suck and people won’t want to see it-with occasional exceptions.

Will we get good movies someday, or do they continue to churn out 95% of pg-13, largest possible audience cliché/remake pieces of shit?
