What movies do you think could go well with a remake?

[No Quarter]

Cannonball Run.

Ohhh absolutely! The one with John Candy in it (I think it was #2?) I loved as a kid.

 

[Ry009]

In the works, with Edgar Wright directing.

Thats awesome to hear. Love the book and the movie despite both being very different.

 

[FreoGirl]

The Langoliers

 

[JackOutback]

The Guardian calling for a different approach top remakes/sequels.

Hollywood should look beyond Star Wars and Lord of the Rings retreads for sequels

The blockbuster franchises are showing signs of serious wear and tear, so why don’t the studios take on newer worlds created by the likes of Christopher Nolan and Alex Garland?

It's been 30 years since this classic

 

[FreoGirl]

The Langoliers

 

[ibd77]

Cannonball Run.

Hell yeah, but not a comedy as most modern comedians are awful.

 

[Gasometer]

Alien

Oh wait, looks like the remake is coming out in August

The question also comes in to mind of how much you stick to the original or how much you deviate

This one not so much

OLD bump but i think i may have mentioned this before.

The Point Break remake suffers more from the original movie comparisons. Its actually pretty good and has genuinely some of the most incredible stunt work and location shooting in any action movie ever.

If it had a bigger star in the Utah spot (or just a better actor) and didnt have to contend with the originals love (and to be clear i also LOVE the original) i think it would be seen pretty fondly.

They are Eco Terrorists (whatever that specifically means) but they are also the bad guys...

As a huge Hitchcock fan, as sacrilegious as this sounds, I would love to to see a rnake/modern Vertigo (PROVIDED) They had the proper actors and crucially director in place (Christopher Nolan would be my choice) to take on such a project/task.


Weird as it sounds, i could honestly see Zac Efron taking Jimmy Stewart's lead as John Ferguson.

Reckon he would be ideal in a remake of arguably Hitchcock's greatest movie as his most intense and polarising lead/main character.

 

[The Sultan]

Word for word remake of 'The Room', but with top tier level actors.

 

[Norwegian Blue]

They Live
The Elephant Man
Flash Gordon
The Man who fell to Earth

No

Came across a post on FB before pondering movies that should or could be remade.

Obviously some remakes stink.

The suggestion though was this one:

Despite it being a colossal flop, I always have had a soft spot for it. Loved it as a younger bloke and would watch it every now and again.

I think with the right script/director/cast it could actually be made in to something that hits better.

Though sadly, with out the great man;

Loved it, his new movie horizon isn't very good though

Taxi Driver.

But instead of wanting to wash the streets of hookers and junkies, Travis Bickle is on a mission to get rid of the hipsters and w***ers.

Back to the future. Set in 2025. marty goes back to 1995. Shock horror the backwards past!

I can just see the discussion with 1995 Doc on all the cool things in the future, and aside from the ubiquitous free pr0n, Doc being really underwhelmed.
