Nov 6 2007'High Noon' To Be Remade By Idiot
You can often tell a lot about what kind of movie a producer might make by looking at their past catalog. Looking at the works of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, for instance, tells you that whatever he produces will probably have some explosions, stilted romance, overdone effects, and a quality that makes people describe it with annoying sayings like "popcorn flick" and "I liked not having to think."
So when it was announced that the remake rights to the classic Gary Cooper Western High Noon were purchased by Mark Headley, people naturally started to see what this fellow had done before. It's not good.
Here is an abbreviated list of the works of Mark Headley:
Vampires on Bikini Beach
Nudist Colony of the Dead
Mirror, Mirror III: The Voyeur
Lethal Cowboy (My favorite, for some reason. As if this were the first cowboy with the capacity to kill.)
Motorcycle Cheerleading Mommas
Johnny Mysto: Boy Wizard
The Brainiacs.com
Bodily Sanctions
Misconduct of Miss Heather Finn
Animal Attraction III
Malibu Spring Break
Dr. Rage
Dr. Chopper
So, if his filmography is any indication, the new High Noon will be made for around $5,000 and will only be rented by 8th graders hoping to skip to the topless scenes.

I see he was into making medical documentaries. If he uses the same precision handling with the six-shooter and keeps glitter off the saloon slut, he should do well. After all, he can't afford Lindsey Lohan.

Looks like Mark Headley is also producing an upcoming thriller called "Tenebrous" starring Costas Mandalor. Good luck getting the same kind of breakout, oscar worthy, performance out of Costas that he brought to the table in "Dinocroc."
