Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions The Princess Bride Fans Are Not Excited About a Remake There Are Rumours of a Princess Bride Reboot, but Fans Say It's "Inconceivable" 18 September 2019 by Karenna Meredith Image Source: Everett Collection In 2019, hearing about a remake of your favourite film doesn't come as a surprise. In fact, a lot of the time it's welcomed. That said, The Princess Bride fans would like their 1987 movie to remain as is thankyouverymuch. If it ain't broke, don't fix it — right? In a Variety article published Tuesday, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra teased a potential remake in a tribute to producer Norman Lear. "We have so many people coming to us saying, 'We want to remake this show or that show,'" Vinciquerra said. "Very famous people whose names I won't use, but they want to redo The Princess Bride." Twitter users didn't take to kindly to this news once it surfaced on social media. Fans began to freak out at the mere idea of a remake, although they don't seem to be bothered by Disney's stage musical adaptation that's currently in the works. The disappointment extended so far that Cary Elwes (the original Westley) chimed in with a spot-on response: "There's a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one," he tweeted on Tuesday night. Now, will Sony say "As you wish" and let this reboot rest in peace? Who is out here trying to remake the Princess Bride?!

Please no.I am not a hater who automatically rejects anything new, prequels, spinoffs, or whatever. But this movie, like Back to the Future, is perfect as is. They're untouchable. There will never be another grandpa, grandson, Inigo, Vizzini, or Fezzik. Do not do this. https://t.co/MGH1y4DGkO— Kim Horcher (@kimscorcher) September 17, 2019 8 / 18 I want their names RIGHT THIS MINUTE, TONY, and I want them all hauled before the nearest court of public opinion.

The first being never get involved in a land war in Asia but only slightly lesser known: never go in on a Princess Bride reboot! https://t.co/1AZkr41gDI— Adam Lance Garcia (@AdamLanceGarcia) September 17, 2019 11 / 18 There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world.

Well, I married the six fingered man, obviously why we have stayed together for 35 years and there is only ONE The Princess Bride and it’s William Goldman and @robreiner’s. “Life is pain highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something!” https://t.co/hv33UIZKN3— Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis) September 17, 2019 16 / 18 I’m rarely a “don’t remake this” kind of guy, because I make an effort to be near-pathologically optimistic, and I try very hard to believe that there may be some genius version of a remake that I lack the vision to imagine. All that said, don’t remake the Princess Bride. https://t.co/5LvQmoBe12— Franklin Leonard (@franklinleonard) September 17, 2019 17 / 18 Is the Princess Bride reboot all dead yet?
