And to be honest, Excalibur felt a little dated when I watched it last year. I always remembered it as really stylish and edgy but some of that stuff just came off as kind of cheesy and silly this most recent time around. So I guess I would be in the 'it can be improved on' camp.

That said, this might be a time where the people who say 'well, just make your own Arthur movie, you don't have to remake Excalibur' might be right. Then again, they might not be. A remake might work.

Very interesting idea.

Not sure if you've seen the Starz show Camelot. I didn't get around to seeing it until it was released on BD, so I'm not sure how well it was received. I for one, really enjoyed it, and was very disappointed there wasn't more. I love the original Excalibur myself, but am a big fan of Boorman's films in general.

Almost every film based on a video game has the potential to be better.

I'd like to see a better Hitman Max Payne, and Tomb Raider film, for example.

octagon · 06-30-2014, 09:24 PM

oooooooooooh, Wing Commander...

Now that could be fun.

As long as they keep the quick obnoxious editing that the Halle Berry version had.

Nah, the first Hulk by Ang Lee is still the best. Another reboot/sequel or whatever will just be another smash em up, like the 2008 Norton film. I don't think people realise just how ambitious and daring Ang Lee's Hulk was. Shame.

Another remake I'd like to see is Sleepwalkers. I loved the original but that ridiculous dinner scene with the corn on the cob stabbing needs to go.

Why not get Mark Ruffalo for a The Incredible Hulk film for Phase Three? I'd have Tim Roth return and I'd get MODOK.

Echovoid52 · 07-01-2014, 01:25 AM

Watchmen

Or rather a re-adaptation. I like Zack Synders film, but think it's far from perfect. The source material is so good that it warrants multiple adaptations. I'm a huge fan of the GN and I've always believed that it could me made into a film. Synder actually kinda accomplished it, albeit his was a bit soulless. A mini-series would be prefect, but I'm scared that high-concept thing like this wouldn't be given the proper budget like a big studio movie would.

Mark Ruffalo is signed on to reprise the Hulk in Avengers 2, and Marvel is considering making The Incredible Hulk 2 afterward. He's signed on for six films altogether, and Tim Roth is signed on for three more films. It's in the works, guys.

Dane Dehaan as Lestat.

Why him? Tommy boy is still just as youthful looking as he was twenty years ago.

Id just like a start over.

Breakin' 2: The Electric Boogaloo

and while they're at it, they can bring back Jean-Claude Van Damme to reprise his hokey pokey dance number.

Elvis · 07-01-2014, 03:03 AM

The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Both new Star Trek films.

SIWilson · 07-01-2014, 04:01 AM

How about a reboot of "Naked Gun 2-1/2" since everything else needs a remake/reboot? Not the series.. just that one entry..

Al_The_Strange · 07-01-2014, 04:04 AM

^^^ This gives me an idea...

They could totally remake Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. No others, just that one. They can even still call it Halloween 3, making people think it'll take after the Rob Zombie films, but it won't. So fans of the new films will be ticked off, and fans of the original will be ticked off. You get twice as much hatred for one movie! So much so that people will melt and bugs will crawl out of their faces! It's ingenious!

Would have to bring back Tom Atkins as the bad guy this time.

They could broadcast the signal over the internet & cellphone apps/ring tones this time & effect a whole hell of a lot of people.

I like this. Why not have a Halloween film in the horror anthology same as Talkes from the Crypt, The House that Dripped Blood, Creepshow and Tales from the Darkside?

Avatar: The Last Airbended - This series deserves a proper film trilogy

Fahrenheit 451 - love the old one, but it could benefit from a new take

1984 - Same as Fahrenheit

Batman/The Dark Knight - I've yet to see something that perfectly matches my vision for the character. Essentially a live action version of Batman: TAS that's mostly featured at night, preferably with Clayface as the villain.

Sherlock Holmes · 07-01-2014, 10:37 PM

The Harry Potter series. Since they ruined Dumbledore after Richard Harris passing away they should redo it and undo the many wrongs.

Oh wow, I would love to see a 2014 version of 1984. Perfect.
