Toho to Follow Hammer’s Lead?
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on November 27th, 2013
Now that Hammer has virtually guaranteed a future avalanche of Yeti knock-off pictures with their announcing of their big-budget remake of their classic Abby Snowman picture, I wonder: how long ’til Toho slates a remake of ‘Half-Human’?
Never say never, BUT… I can see Disney remaking ‘Song of the South’ faster than I can see Toho trotting out cgi ‘Half Human.’
About Craig Woolheater
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Toho hasn’t seemed too interested in making any new kaiju films since they put Godzilla on hiatus in 2004. Unless the upcoming Legendary film completely tanks, I don’t see them returning to the genre for a while. Certainly not by remaking one of their lesser-known efforts.
