Mining the past
If you’re of a certain age, and still partial to a trip to the movies on a Friday night, you may be forgiven if over the next couple of months you start feeling like you’ve time-slipped back to the future, aka the 1980s.
Robocop, a remake of the 1987 sci-fi flick directed by Paul Verhoeven, hits a screen near you next week. Endless Love, a remake of the 1981 romance starring Brooke Shields, gets released the following week, with Gabriella Wilde and Alex Pettyfer making eyes at one another this time round. About Last Night, which starred ‘brat pack’ veterans Rob Lowe and Demi Moore when it was first released in 1986, is another to get a 21st century update when it appears in late March.
