Cmasterclay Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 There may be a topic like this, so forgive me if there is, but I thought it seemed interesting. Obviously, everybody at some point or another finds a reason to hate remakes of older movies, and for good reason- alot of classics shouldn't be remade, and it sucks the originality out of Hollywood. But there IS a few great old movies I think that could stand to be remade, whether a genre classic or just a solid movie. My personal choice is the Exorcist- one of my favorite novels of all time, I think with a great cast and a focus on character, this could be remade as an incredible period horror movie with someone like Bale and Ford as the lead priests. It'd be awesome, even if the original was a classic. Any other movies that should get remakes/reboots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I say if you're going to remake a movie, do a film that wasn't well received. Like when they did Ocean's 11. The original film is pretty terrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 That's true, but I think there is room for well received films to be redone, too. Also, still waiting on that reboot of "They Saved Hitler's Brain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I agree. There's no point of remaking a classic but something that could have and should have been better needs a second take. I'm also down with any remake by Baz Luhrman and Tarantino. Tarantino really took the concept of the original IB to a different direction as he did with DU, his homage to spagetti westerns including Django series.

Cmasterclay Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Some good things could certainly be done with that concept, yes. I think a This Is The End/The Purge crossover movie would be a smashing success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 An Entourage movie. It probably wouldn't be a success, but it would sure make me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1stpierre Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Not now since it came out in 2012 (and they are I guess doing sequels) but there should be a remake of the Rurouni Kenshin series on film. The one they did last year was blah. It left out big characters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That, or I would even redo some scary movies that could have been better, like Phantoms (based of Dean Koontz novel, really great). It could have been really good, but it was just bleh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I would say Adam Sandler's Click - if you got Cameron Crowe to write & direct, pick some decent actors, and this could have been a great movie. I actually thought the last 10-15 minutes of the movie were the best part since they actually showed the true effect of the remote. With a real plot, and some non-immature gross-out gags, this could have been a great character study. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Dune By Nolan, maybe Aronofsky tops. They would appreciate the brains behind the SFX glitz in this book. The Last Airbender. M Night pretty much shitted all over that piece of crap of a movie and ruined every chance of having the 2nd and 3rd books made. yep, this is ripe for a remake/reboot and hopefully with the cast of the right etnicity. No white Inuits and Tibetans and no Indians as Chinese-Japanese (Fire Nation was clearly based on China and japan) please!
