Wargames: The Dead Code

WarGames: The Dead Code stars Matt Lanter as a computer geek named Will Farmer who engages a government super-computer named R.I.P.L.E.Y. and enters in a game of online terrorist-attack simulation (yes, instead of global thermonuclear war from the original movie). But apparently the game is actually part of a sophisticated piece of government spyware designed to find potential terrorists. Homeland Security, now believing Farmer is a terrorist, sets out to apprehend him. And the computer, of course, forgets that it’s just playing a game.

I just watched the trailer and it looks like just a modern remake of the original Wargames.  I'm betting I'll hate it.

Here's the imdb.com page for it.  I wish this was an April Fool's joke.

I hate all the new star wars movies and I bet I'll hate this Watchmen movie when they finally make it and I hated the Hitchhiker movie and I almost threw up when I heard they're going to remake Every Which Way but Loose with the Rock.

I'm one of those odd people who love horribly bad movies so if it's as terrible as it looks I can't wait to see it.
I HATE the bridge.

You didn't know? Hollywood has been out of ideas for years. People will call this original though.
