Movies you WOULD like to see remade.....

#1 Post by Glusniffer »

This could be fun.......

Got an old fave that could be a decent remake in this age of CGI and stuff? Ive thought on this for a long time.

I'll start with 1979's 'Prophecy'. Giant mutated bear thang frozen in various stages of evolution due to methyl mercury poisoning. (Katadin) by native american lore. This oldie was based on actual facts that happened in Minamata Japan regarding polluting the environment so it has a legitimate storyline. It was called "THE Monster Movie" 8)

Then I had to think . . . but it only took me 20 seconds to come up with my first idea . . . :arrow: Pumpkinhead

Highlander, a flawed but classic fav. Skipping all the sequels but incorporating some of the plot points from the tv series like the watchers.

And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?

Great topic Jeff.

I'll have to think on it a bit. I know there are definitely a few bad movies that could have been good that might be helped by a remake.

I do like the idea of Highlander, but they have not shown the ability to put together a good sequel, so I have little hope for a good remake.
I did love the series, especially after it moved over to Europe and opened up so many more story lines.

Absolutely, new director, new writers etc. But keep some of the main characters and ideas of the first movie and the series and you have to keep the soundtrack Queen nailed it.

Lord of the Rings
- follow the books much more closely
- remove silly dialogue ; e.g. do not have an orc say “meat is back in the menu”
- have a much stronger Aragorn ( no self doubt b.s.)
- change shelob design to more closely match description in the books
- keep balrog design same
- give much more insight and screen time to sauron , actually show him in barad-dur as a badass being and not just as an eye on top of the tower ; show his malice and evilness ; like torturing Gollum and some captured elves ; have flashbacks to show how he came to power

Ridley scott’s Legend
- make an adult R rated version
- keep darkness design, voice, and Scott’s environments designs the same
- remove silly dialogue , e.g “adios amigos” , “shot me in my brain pan”
- make the goblins and other bad beings scarier
- make jack and the other “good guys” serious and not comical
- have Lilly be more tempted and fall under darkness spell

Movies? What are those? :lol:

Seriously, I'm not a big fan of remakes. Or cartoons being made into live action films.

But no one it seems can come up with an original idea anymore, in no small measure due to the "PC" straightjacket imposed by today's Hollywood on all films

So real life subjects can't be put on the screen. Hence the nonstop "comic book live action DRECK".
