I am in awe of this movie. It is horrible. I’ve seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but I am absolutely shocked by this one. This dude had absolutely no self-awareness, nor must he have had accepted any criticism. There is no saving grace for this absolute trainwreck of an entity that we can only call “film” in the strictest sense, because it was recorded on 35mm film. The creation of the film itself has more artistic value than the movie that was inflicted upon it.
I’m gonna watch it again tomorrow with the Rifftrax commentary.
I haven’t heard anything about a remake, but Odenkirk was in the original version. He’s the director that tells Tommy he would make a great villain typecast.
I see. It looks like it might be in production limbo, though. The concept seems really interesting - I’m wondering what is meant when they say they want to deliver the content of the original material in a serious fashion. Like… did they rewrite the entire script to make sense? Or is it just a line for line remake?

The Disaster Artist is a great watch as well once you’re familiar with The Room!
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it, it’s one of my favorites of all time :)
Just pirate it to avoid giving money to Franco :)
I’m also looking forward to the remake with Bob Odenkirk lol

That’s where I found out about it, apparently maybe coming out soon-ish?
