‘The Room’ to Be Remade in 3D

The rising cult film “The Room” is getting a 3D treatment.

“The Room,” often referred to as the “Citizen Kane of bad movies,” has spent the years since it was released in 2003 as the internet’s obsession. Seen as a flop when it was first released in theaters, it has gained a huge cult following and now the original director Tommy Wiseau (often referred to as the modern Ed Wood) has announced that he wants to remake the film in 3-D.
For those who haven’t seen the movie it’s a “drama” about a couple’s relationship falling apart through lies, cheating, and a half dozen subplots that people still don’t know the purpose of. The word drama being in quotes due to the unintentional comedy that is in almost every single moment of the film. The cult that has built up around this film like with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” or “Troll 2.” There are screenings all across the country with fans dressing up like characters from the film, yelling the lines along, and there has even been video games. The infamous reputation has grown so large that James Franco has bought the rights to the book “The Disaster Artist” (written by one of the actors himself, Greg Sestero (aka Mark)) about the making of the film with the intention of making it into a movie itself.

Director Tommy Wiseau who also wrote and starred in the original “The Room” has a reputation as odd as the film itself. So the idea of him wanting to remake the film in 3-D is not that unusual. However, he has also stated, “We may go to China with The Room.” It hasn’t come out in China or Japan yet … I don’t know, but I think they’ll have the same reaction there.” There are no official dates or anything on when this remake might happen but if Wiseau can get “The Room” made once, anything is possible.

Eric: Eric grew up with a simple childhood. At age 11 a six fingered man murdered his father in front of his eyes, while his mother died defending him from an attack from a sharptooth, then an evil toon dropped a piano from 15 stories onto his brother's head and then on top of all of that while on the job he was brutally shot up and left for dead but was rebuilt as a robotic cop to get his revenge. ...Oooorr maybe he just watched a lot of movies growing up and got really into them. From a young age Eric realized learning things like science, math, people's names etc. took some real effort but could easily remember practically all the dialog/plot details from a random movie he watched on tv years ago. He knew from a young age that he wanted to make movies and never strayed from that. Going to college to get an education in film production and working on movie sets whenever it can be fit into his schedule. Get him into a room full of people he doesn't know and over time you may eventually get him to open up but just mention some movies and he'll talk for hours, never afraid to (respectfully) argue with fellow movie nerds. Now he puts that love and energy toward writing for FilmFad.com.
