Films youd like to see re-made

Hogzy

Just wondering what people would like to see digitally remastered or whatever!!!
I know alot of remakes are usually not half as good as the original so anybody have any predictions on what will be remade,whether they wanna see it or not?

Peyton Manning

Id like to see a new version of Cloverfield, but with the added twist of it being good this time round.

Hogzy

Ya me too, id love to see the second one...
did you really think it was bad tho, i loved the first one, infact i just finished watching it on blu ray!!! I love it!:D

311

Superman 2 would be a great movie for remastering.
Love the Mid-air fight scene:)

Serenity Now!

None to be remade.
Remakes, film versions of cartoons or popular TV series, I just can't be arsed with.

Writers' strikes in Hollywood are a good thing these days as the releasing of original ideas and movies seems to thrive during those times.

Damnation Alley. Do it properly this time.

The spy who loved me (with Daniel Craig). My favourite bond movie with my least favourite bond. It has it all, location, girls, meglomaniac, evil henchman, & ultimate gadget & possibly the best opening scene to any bond movie ever.

Also love to see "A Matter Of Life & Death" remade just to see what they could do with modern technology

javaboy

Twelve angry men with Will Ferrell, John C. Riley, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn etc.
just kidding.

Great film, just don't rate Mr. Moore very highly as Bond.

Yeah it is slightly blasphemous but I'd love to see what they could do with it... you could imagine it though couldn't you ?

Returning to base from a bombing run in May 2006, flyer Lt. Pete Carter's plane is damaged by Taliban anti aircraft fire and his parachute ripped to shreds. He has his crew bail out safely, but figures it is curtains for himself. He gets on the radio, and talks to June, a young English woman working for the RAF, and they are quite moved by each other's voices. Then he jumps, preferring this to burning up with his plane. He wakes up in the desert.

It was his time to die, but there was a mixup in heaven. They couldn't find him in all that fog. By the time his "Conductor" catches up with him 20 hours later, Pete and June have met and fallen in love. This changes everything, and since it happened through no fault of his own, Pete figures that heaven owes him a second chance. Heaven agrees to a trial to decide his fate.

Will Smith as Pete
Renée Zellweger as June
John Hannah as "The Conductor"

Written by Richard Curtis
Directed by Michael Bay

Remake a film only if the original is poor I reckon.

The piss-poor Highlander 2 is ripe for remake / re-imagining for example.

D-FENS

Westworld, as long as it was done properly, not another piece of crap like Deathrace

Galvasean

Jurassic Park 3: good version.
There was potential for a great movie there, but they messed up by filming before the script was done.

bluto63

Never seen a remake better than the original, so I would say none

Pigman II

I'd like to see The Big Lebowski remade but without a plot and without Julianne Moore. I was enjoying it more when it was just a movie about a hippy stoner sniffing milk and trying to get his rug cleaned. It didn't need a storyline.

John Carpenter's The Thing is the best example I can think of.
That and probably The Fly.

Judge Dredd.

Get Ron Perlman to star, and James McTeigue to direct. Win.

Fantastic idea, I'd love to see Judge Dread done properly. Perlman would be a great Dread and maybe Robert Rodriguez to direct.

Titanic, except this time DiCaprio doesn't win the poker game, gets shipped back to Ireland and nobody is there to stop poor Kate from going for a swim so early in the movie.

Would have made a much better picture IMO.

Seriously though, when I read Michael Crichton's timeline I thought all the way through "this would make a great movie". Then they made it...with Paul Walker...and it was about as accurate and believable a medieval flick as "Black Knight".

I would love to see a grittier, authenitc, better acted and better directed version.

Latchy

Casablanca - although i am sure like many it might not be possible to remake such a classic (a bit like listening to a beatle tibute band ,good but nothing compared to the original ) .If i had to pic a bogie /bergman double in any remake I would choose George clooney / jenifer aniston as the couple .

the one remake which i believe was better than the original which springs to mind is king kong , although 1933 was a long time ago

heavymetalrock

supergirl was a brillaint films would love to watch that again, and get it on dvd, any one know where i would get it.:)

Pigman II

amazon have it.

ziedth

Off the top of my head,

I would pick Alexander Cause I would say the actual story would move well into film.

JP Liz

I'd love to see a remake of The Shining with Joaquin Phoenix as Jack

CyberWaste

Id like either 28 Days Later to be remade, with a bigger budget and a bit longer, even though I absoloutly love 28 days later, id like to see what it would be like with a bigger budget, and more of a back story and more of him on his own in the city. I doubt it would be as good as the original though.

Also id like to see The Warriors remade, great film but hasnt stood the test of time I think.

KTRIC

Have to say Dredd again, big fan of the original and read the comic for decades. Unfortunately Stallone didn't cut it as Dredd and Danny Boyle should be strung up by his testis. The CGI and effects were good.


+3 on Ron Pearlman, he would be perfect as ole stony face

I agree that Danny Boyle should be strung up by his testis .... but that's just because I find him irritating. I'd instead blame Danny Cannon for Dredd and then hang him up by his ovaries.

Mad Max 2- new bikes and new cars!! :cool:

I meant Danny Cannon, but my long seated hatred for Boyle surfaced again

Not a bad idea though. Maybe not with all the comedy types, but it would be a film worth considering. Though, the original was so so good, it would be very hard to improve on.

Judge Dredd is a great choice for a remake. Definitely the best nomination for a remake that I've heard in a long while.

Spiderman 3 without Venom!

I thought Stallone wasn't bad, but the script was muck, the dialogue was painful (Continuous and very unfunny running joke of Dredd saying "I knew you'd say that"), and they turned it into more of a buddy comedy with the Rob Schneider character. Judge Dredd shouldn't have a comic sidekick, especially not one as thoroughly infuriating as that twat Schneider. I freakin' love Dredd, it's such a shame they managed to make such a gigantic balls of it.

I wonder would Paul Verhoeven be a good choice to direct a new Dredd? Or what do you think about James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) as director?

matrim

one i watched recently that could be remade or at least re-mastered is logans run as the efects look really bad now

Lamper.sffc

The last 3 StarWars movies and this time make them good.

S.M.B.

The Witches to be remade by Guillermo Del Toro?

Wait a minute.....

:pac:

The last 3? As in Episode's iv - vi?? Dude they are amongst the most successful films of all time, they have a cult following the which very very few films have ever seen. They were made in the 70s and still have SFX that some films would be proud of today. What exactly would you remake about em??

ambro25

Akira.

Not really a remake (of the anime) as such, but a f**k-off-big-budget live action of the entire manga, (i.e. not the cut-down story in the anime).

And yes, I know a live action is suppsoedly in post atm, but I'm sure they've cut the story short again.

Otherwise ...Jason & the Argonauts. Can't be that hard to replace the stopmotion animations with bleeding-edge CGI, can it? The original is quaint enough still, I suppose, but a remake could 'spice things up' a bit, make the monsters scarier and what-have-you.
