Remakes you would WANT to see - Blu-ray Forum

singhcr · 06-30-2014, 02:07 AM

We all hear about remakes of classic films that nobody asked for, such as Robocop. Surely there must be movies that are a good candidate for a remake?

I would like to see a new Mario Brothers movie, because the first one was garbage.

So not true...there are plenty of good, if not great, remakes...

Godzilla
Superman

The Car and WestWorld, come to mind with todays effects.

HELLRAISER!

Where is my Hellraiser remake? It could be done so well in the right hands.

Highlander

I'd also love to see a new remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street... the first one is so bad, a new remake is bound to happen. Again, if put in the right hands, it could be solid.

Orca (1977) comes to mind. There are parts of that film that are beautiful and haunting, unfortunately it's brought down a bit by some corny moments. I've always thought a remake, keeping everything good about the original and dropping the most ridiculous stuff, could be something amazing.

My Stepmother Is An Alien
Ghost
Teen Wolf (an R-rated version similar to the TV show)

The Keep
Dune
The Running Man (only if they use the novel's ending)

20 Million Miles to Earth would be another good one.

I haven't actually seen it, it just sounds like it would make for a good remake.

Walts Ghost · 06-30-2014, 02:43 AM

Night of the Comet. Fun film, but I'd love to see what you could do with it now.

Samus Aran · 06-30-2014, 02:45 AM

Highlander could be good as a planned franchise, instead of just popping out sequels that contradict the previous movies.

There also might be something salvageable with The Postman that another director and star could find.
