Movies you think will be REMADE!
 
Not necessarily what you want to be remade, but you know how it goes. Here are some candidates.

Toxic Avenger
Attack of the Killer Tomatos
The Blob (3D)?
2001: A Space Odyssey
Robocop

Jeritron 02-04-2009 02:44 AM

Robocop is being remade right now, by DARREN ARONOFKSY. Should be interesting as hell

Jeritron 02-04-2009 02:53 AM

April Fools Day
Slaughter High
Creepshow
The Towering Inferno
Citizen Kane
Salem's Lot
Scream

Boondock Saint 02-04-2009 05:20 AM

April Fool's Day was remade

Jeritron 02-04-2009 05:28 AM

How can I even keep track? Everythings being remade in horror. Hell, in general. That's why I jokingly suggested Citizen Kane. Give it a few years and it probably won't be a joke anymore.

I wouldn't be surprise if George Lucas decided to remake the original Star Wars trilogy, entirely.

OssMan 02-04-2009 10:04 AM

I think there's supposed to be a Hollywood remake of Battle Royale. Would prolly have Shia LaBeuff in it :-\

Never thought of it, but now thatyou say that, I wouldn't be surprised either.

Savio 02-04-2009 10:33 AM

they should remake last action hero a long time from now. They could have done a lot more with getting villains from other movies etc.

IC Champion 02-04-2009 04:00 PM

The Warriors.

I'm surprised it hasn't occurred to you. Been talking about it since they did the special editions in the 90s.

Let's see...

Highlander (Sure that once the owners have decided the series has been run into the ground, it'll get some hip remake of the original)
The Godfather
Blackula
Harry Potter (It'll probably be 20 years, mind)
Ben Hurrrrrrr
The Crow

IC Champion 02-04-2009 04:22 PM

Whoa, you can't remake The Godfather. That would be blasphemous.

thedamndest 02-04-2009 04:23 PM

Horror movies or sci-fi movies with dated technology are almost a lock.

Inadequacy 02-04-2009 04:32 PM

All of them

[“The Crow” will fly again.

Stephen Norrington has signed on to write and direct a reinvention of “The Crow,” based on the comic created by James O’Barr.

Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media is negotiating with producer Ed Pressman to acquire the film franchise and finance the film.

Pressman produced the 1994 Alex Proyas-directed screen transfer, in which rock musician Eric Draven is murdered trying to rescue his girlfriend from thugs, and returns from the dead one year later to exact vengeance. Though the original became a gothic-style hit that grossed nearly $100 million worldwide, it is primarily remembered for a tragic accident in which star Brandon Lee was killed during filming.

For Norrington, “The Crow” deal marks the end of a long screen sabbatical. After making his breakthrough with the Marvel Comics hero “Blade,” Norrington took on a big-budget comic transfer with “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” Neither the director nor his star, Sean Connery, has made a film since.

Norrington said he felt demoralized by that experience, and the accomplished sculptor spent the next five years writing and working on his art. He made a deal to direct “Clash of the Titans” for Warner Bros., but left the project, he said, because he was “unable to excite Warner Bros. with my take, or influence the screenplay to any comfortable extent.” That pic goes into production early next year with Louis Leterrier at the helm.

Norrington resolved to focus on independent projects, and sparked to an approach on “The Crow” from Relativity production chief Tucker Tooley and Pressman. Norrington had a relationship with Pressman when they came close to making “Mutant Chronicles” several years ago. Both embraced Norrington’s vision of the antihero, which Norrington said will be different than the film Proyas made.

“Whereas Proyas’ original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style,” Norrington told Daily Variety.

Norrington is repped by Endeavor.

I can tell that would be shit.

El Vaquero de Infierno 02-04-2009 06:19 PM

If they decided to remake The Godfather, i'd be going around Hollywood on a castrating spree.

Funky Fly 02-04-2009 08:10 PM

I really hate this thread. So fucking depressing.

Swamp Thing is a candidate.

OssMan 02-05-2009 07:36 PM

Jungle Fever

Krimzon7 02-05-2009 09:36 PM

Masters of the Universe

And so out of keeping with the morals and decency for which we normally remember Hollywood.

AKin3D 02-06-2009 12:44 AM

Attack of The Killer Tomatos comes out this year.
Heck everything I think of, I check imdb and it's coming out this year, next year or by 1212. I mean even Astro Boy wasn't safe.

thedamndest 02-06-2009 02:43 AM

Wow. They are cruising through my list. Wikipedia says that Tomatoes is being done by the Ask a Ninja folks. Okay.

DaveBrawl 02-06-2009 12:04 PM

Big Trouble in Little China. They should just rerelease it in all of it's glory, don't touch a single thing about it.

Awesome. Maybe this one will follow the comic this time around.

On a different note, 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' is scheduled to be remade sometime in the next couple years.

Calamondin 02-06-2009 02:19 PM

It would probably be easier to list the ones that weren't being remade.

I think it's more of a case of lazyness over not having any ideas, but... Jesus Christ, Hollywood.

I hear that they are going to.....or atleast were going to.

Nowhere Man 02-07-2009 09:26 PM

Here's my miserable-cynic list:

Jaws
Apocalypse Now (only set in Iraq or whatever war we would be in at the time)
Casablanca
Enter the Dragon
Back to the Future (with Shia LeBouf)
The Jerk (with Wil Ferrel)
Uncle Buck (with Jack Black)
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (with both)

And I was going to say TRON until I saw that they're already working on a sequel.

Lord-Of-Darkness 02-08-2009 06:05 AM

Aren't they working on a remake of the 1st Short Circuit?

Jeritron 02-08-2009 02:19 PM

Oh sweet jesus don't even talk about Jaws or BTTF being remade. Don't even say it out loud!!!

The truth is, the classics will be remade someday. I just don't think it should be in the lifetime of anyone who saw it come out.
King Kong is a classic, and I loved the remake. If Jaws or any other huge classics get re-made for a new generation and format of film, then so be it. Just please have like a 60 year grace period.

They started to do this when TMNT came out, but then dropped it. Still, there's always time.

As for my input, I'm pretty sure about ten or fifteen years after whatever mess TF3 turns out to be, we'll be treated to a decent TransFormers movie. Batman Begins has given me this hope.

Alan The Rapist 02-09-2009 03:42 PM

And call me crazy, but I'd also like to see a real Mario Bothers movie.

Boondock Saint 02-09-2009 03:53 PM

I think I read recently that Masters of the Universe is back on.

Boondock Saint 02-09-2009 03:54 PM

Predator:

http://themovingpicture.net/predator...-to-the-screen

While the concept of Aliens vs. Predators is universally loved by fanboys across the globe, the two flicks that adapted said concept have been less than stellar, to say the least.
Another film may now be in the works, but this time looks to focus only on the Predators.

The folks at Bloody Disgusting have received word, through a “reliable source”, that Robert Rodriquez and his Troublemaker Studios will be producing a Predator reboot for 20th Century Fox.

The first Predator hit the screen in 1987 and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and Kevin Peter Hall. The story followed an elite team on a mission to rescue hostages from a guerrilla group in Central America. John McTiernan (Die Hard) directed.

A sequel starring Danny Glover opened in 1990 followed by the aforementioned mash-up flicks several years later. While the original only featured one Predator, the potential reboot looks to up the number of the ass-kicking species.

There’s still no script and it’s unclear if Rodriquez would also direct

Looks like I'm going to have to castrate some film execs.

Bullitt

Krimzon7 02-13-2009 02:27 PM

WHy not remake V?

Alan The Rapist 02-20-2009 02:48 PM

I'd like a musical version of Plan 9 from Outer Space.
