The mind boggles

I cannot BELIEVE they're going to do this, but The Hollywood Reporter assures me it's true:

Hollywood is looking to remake The NeverEnding Story.

Scarier still, the article linked above suggests that this might be the start of a whole mess of eighties fantasy remakes, which has me all a-flutter. I mean, I don't really care about The NeverEnding Story (I found the book terrifically boring) or The Dark Crystal or Legend, but if they even suggest messing with Labyrinth I'm starting a letter-writing campaign to my senator.
