Title: What remake would you like to see happen? Post by: dystopia on August 10, 2007, 11:51:58 AM PaunchyBald mentioned a desire to see Ole Yeller and Where The Red Fern Grows remade with better actors.
I was thinking the other day that it would be interesting to see Flash Gordon remade (keeping some Queen music, though), and it turns out that the Sci-Fi channel is remaking it. But I was disappointed to see that Voltron is going to me remade in live-action to tap into the Transformers success. It would be interesting to see The Prisoner done with a modern take by the right folks. Most remakes seem to suck and they're being churned out at a crazy pace, but are there any movies/tv shows that you think deserve a second chance as a remake?

Also, Road Runner cartoons. I'd like Wile E. Coyote to be able to catch and eat that annoying bird this time though. Title: Re: What remake would you like to see happen? Post by: dystopia on August 10, 2007, 01:08:35 PM Star Wars..interesting. Good call.

Title: Re: What remake would you like to see happen? Post by: dystopia on August 10, 2007, 03:32:18 PM This is interesting. It doesn't appear to be much of a remake, but they seem to be marketing it that way.

Shelly Duvall ruined the movie for me. Title: Re: What remake would you like to see happen? Post by: gleek on August 10, 2007, 07:07:29 PM The Shining. Shelly Duvall ruined the movie for me. Are you kidding me? Wendy holding the knife was scarier than Jack with the ax. Title: Re: What remake would you like to see happen?

Post by: Blader on August 10, 2007, 08:06:38 PM I'd like to see Casablanca redone, but I'd change the ending so that Rick gets laid before she flies away.
Title: Re: What remake would you like to see happen? Post by: Aske on August 11, 2007, 08:31:51 AM running man (i know things like the condemned are practically remakes).. but a legitimate one with simply more/better villians and crappier one liners
aliens vs. predator (give it the r/nc17 setting/content it deserves) Title: Re: What remake would you like to see happen? Post by: PaunchyBald on August 11, 2007, 01:05:43 PM Whilst Jack Lemmon's performance was immpecable, I'd also like to see 'Days of Wine and Roses' redone. A little more edgy naked and noir.
'The Quiet Man' would be good too, although I think Maureen O'Hara was the most beautiful woman (in her day) to ever walk the face of the planet. Maureen O'Hara (in her day) makes all other women pale in comparison. Even in that lame ass Disney production of the parent trap. 'Unforgiven' and 'Open Range' are good candidates too. Get rid of Clint and Kevin. With a few revisions in the screenplay and better actors, 'Cold Mountain' could be a good movie. I did/do enjoy the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. I would like to see it redone without Viggo Mortensen (Mortenson?) I think a better lead could have been found. Give me a bit and I'll think of more. |
