In my last two weekly columns, I discussed M&a in the worlds of media and entertainment. Consider this the third in my M&a trilogy. Here I focus on perhaps the single biggest threat to all media and entertainment M&a — i.e., the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its increasing heightened antitrust scrutiny of proposed deals.
It’s that scrutiny — and even the perceived threat or expectation of that scrutiny — that is chilling the mega-media M&a air this fall season. After all, Big Tech’s problem certainly isn’t money. Rather, it’s the widely held belief that those Silicon Valley behemoths are too big, too controlling, too powerful and simply too destructive to smaller players and overall competition (and the consumers who benefit from a more vibrant playing field). Antitrust is the one seemingly sure stop to the otherwise unstoppable.

Horror remakes are definitely the hot new trend in Hollywood and I had no idea just how many remakes were being planned until I sat down and drew up a list of as many as I could find. I stopped at 7 pages and needless to say it seems that just about every movie you can imagine is getting a remake-prequel or reboot into 3D.
Here is a pretty complete list of upcoming horror remakes as of today in alphabetical order. Note: There are a few on this list that are only in the early phases of discussion and in some cases I included franchise reboots as well.
13 Tzameti: Starting the list off 13 Tzameti is more thriller then horror but still worthy of making the list. The film which started filming in New York awhile back will star Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham. The original film is a tale of Russian roulette with gruesome outcomes.
