Based on this excerpt:Another week, another set of divided opinions online about, well, almost everything.
But this week one thing seemed to unite most people - if Twitter is anything to go by, at least.
Remaking the classic 1987 film The Princess Bride is a bad idea. An even worse idea, in fact, than getting involved in a land war in Asia.
The debate was started by an interview by Variety with Norman Lear, the film's producer.
He said "very famous people, whose names I won't use, but they want to redo The Princess Bride."
And in a world where politics seems to divide people - this united them.

Yet Lear doesn’t dwell in the past. “Each of us is on to the next,” he says, and the success of “One Day at a Time” and “Live in Front of a Studio Audience” has accelerated interest in more of his library. For one, Lear hints that a new version of “Maude” could be in the works.
“We have so many people coming to us saying, ‘We want to remake this show or that show,’” Vinciquerra says. “Very famous people whose names I won’t use, but they want to redo ‘The Princess Bride.’ Some people want to do animated versions of some of the sitcoms. Not a month goes by when we don’t have an idea coming from some very big name wanting to do things with Norman.”
