There is a rumor floating around that teenybopper Justin
Bieber wants to star in a remake of the movie “Fear.” Anyone who grew up in the
1990s is officially crying on the inside. “Fear” came out in 1996 starring Mark Wahlberg as a charming turned obsessive and violent boyfriend who flies off the
handle when his innocent girlfriend, played by Reese Witherspoon, dumps him.
I don’t see how he could possibly fit into a thriller like
“Fear,” or fill the shoes of muscle-bound, man's-man Mark Wahlberg.
According to examiner.com, audiences and reviewers alike
weren’t impressed with Bieber’s nice-guy attempt at playing a criminal on CSI
in 2010. One review said, "I’m afraid I can’t really praise his ability to
portray a real person in a crime drama."
Witherspoon spilled her thoughts on the idea of a Bieber remake with MTV,
saying, “Fine, great. That'd be cool. Would he be playing me, or is he playing
Mark Wahlberg? Is it like a girl who harasses the family, like a stalker who
can't leave him alone? That would be good, right?”
Even the sweet southern belle can’t see Bieber in the movie,
unless he is the one being harassed.
This is one remake I hope never gets made because it will
give a black eye to the original. The original isn't cinema gold, but it has something great about it. Some things are best left alone.
