The shitty sequels and TV series weren't enough?

Well I don't have a problem with the classics being remade once they're dated. That's the problem. There's just no need.
I'm fine with King Kong and Frankenstein (Del Toro is re-imagining it after finishing The Hobbit) being remade by great modern filmmakers. The originals don't lose any of their classic status because of such a long tenure, and nobody's really bothered by it because it's been long enough. Like I said, the times really have to change before I see a remake as justified. Jaws and BTTF still hold up. I wouldn't mind my grandkids seeing them reimagined by the great filmmakers and amazing technological leaps of their time. I just don't see the need in Spielberg's lifetime, or mine. |

I would think that by the time BTTF gets dated enough to be reimagined they will just make a whole new movie. The whole thing is pretty topical to 1985. Obviously you could take the concept and set it in whatever period you want, but it really does lose some of its flair if you take away 1985/1955 and just set it whenever the hell you want or use whatever car you want. The Dolorean is as much of a character in that film as Marty or Doc.
Jaws though, that's pretty timeless. |

Jaws fits in their with the King Kong and Frankenstein territory. The only difference is those are from the 30s, and Jaws is from the 70s. So I pretty much don't want to see Jaws touched in my lifetime, or until I'm an old geezer

I seriously think that Spielberg will not let Jaws get remade unless he is the one doing it.

I don't want to see BTTF remade. It is a great movie, and it will be difficult to catch lightning in a bottle again. Did anyone mention the Karate Kid (it's being done with Will Smiths son)?

Back to the Future will probably be remade with some hip kid like Nick Canon, Bow Wow, or someone else and Cedric The Entertainer as Doc.

I'd rather see them drug running and call it Crack To The Future

I actually think Robert Rodriguez remaking Predator could be cool. As long as they don't re-use the original story, or Dutch, then I'm fine with it. There's no reason why they can't do a completely original and simple predator story, like the first one, without it neccesarrily going against the events.
