Before Hollywood Does It.... What Movie Would You Remake or Reboot?

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Running Man could be remade today and be brilliant with the right director

That's what I was thinking the same thing. Update the look but keep it grimy less 80s lol

And get the rock

There aren't too many movies that I would want to see remade or rebooted. I do think that their are movies with worlds and mythology that needs to be further explored. Let me think

Blank Check - it would be interesting to see it in modern setting with the social media age
CB4/Fear of a Black Hat - someone needs to spoof today's rap industry, intelligently
Iron Eagle
Top Gun
The Toy
The Last Airbender -do it right
Shane
The Invisible Man - it's about time for a new one

A-Team and Get Smart need sequels...and Rock 'N Rolla

TV
Quantum Leap needs a reboot
Gargoyles needs to continue Greg's plan
Ghostwriter - the All New Ghostwriter doesn't count
Zoobilee Zoo
Bionic Woman/Six Million Dollar Man - are they ever gonna get these things off the ground again. The last Bionic Woman made it like 5eps

The crying game with Bruce oh I'm sorry Caitlin Jenner

Seriously, took the words RIGHT off my fingertips...

I'd cast Shia LeBeouf as the lead and an extremely passable trans-woman with acting chops or throw a baby-face actor a bunch of bread to play that role, ideally the former though so you don't get the LGBT folks trying to boycott for it not being authentic.

Get David Fincher to direct it and the shyt would get Academy Award noms and think-pieces galore.

Other movies:

"Indecent Proposal" with Idris Elba as Robert Redford's character, Emma Watson or Alexandra Daddario in Demi Moore's role, and someone sympathetic like Miles Teller in Woody's role. The whole race thing would be a good spin, and might make it interesting.

"Strangers on a Train": One older, eccentric actor for the villain (Robert Downey, Jr., Christian Bale, or Denzel) with a younger, sympathetic actor like Logan Lerman or Michael B. Jordan as the other guy.

"Kids": There'd be herpes, a false rape accusation, a young couple w/ a case of domestic violence against a pregnant teen after she decides against an abortion, racism, the works.

Bebe's Kids starring Ice Cube

 

[Prynce]

My remake would be Life with all the best black comedians

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Zack & Miri make a porno. With a black cast, preferably people who work with Black & Sexy TV.

 

[General Mills]

Cannonball Run.

You could have updated list of stars with their movie cars. Of course Dom from FF. Bond, a nfl qb who can take Terry Bradshaws place.... Romo. Lol. He has the right douchebaggery element. Other assorted stars and atheletes. Could even bring back Jackie Chan to play the Japanese guy with a Suburu hatchback


Who would play JJ and Captain Chaos

Fincher is already remaking strangers on a train cuz the man cant do anything that's not a remake or an adaptation

Oh shyt! I'm looking it up now...

...he's even using Affleck again. Could be good... :lupepopcorn:

 

[Red Shield]

the 5th Element is a perfect movie. still looks good too

They Live is the shyttiest looking kind of good movie, so i always pick that. I'd watch a new Running Man too. I know that has basically become a genre with bullshyt like Hunger Games, but i'd want it to be exactly like the original to a T, just updated

I like They Live and that could really work. I think a remake would lose the deeper meaning the original has tho.

Trying to remake The Warriors... shyt wouldn't work. Truly a movie of it's time.


Would like to see Subspecies rebooted. Surprised Full Moon never brought it back.
Hell also another Night of the Demons remake/reboot. The one from a few years ago was trash.

 

[BXKingPin82]

ICHI the Killer

You forgot one thing he does: make dope movies

 

[steadyrighteous]

That movie was stupid af breh. I'd rather see them actresses you named in a Clueless remake or something.

I liked it

 

[NobodyReally]

I think in capable hands, Stephen King's The Stand could be an epic film (instead of a mini-series). Same with Ender's Game. I also feel like the His Dark Materials series could be Lord of the Rings status with a more competent director. I really don't think The Golden Compass is a bad movie, but it could have been so much better.

TV

Ghostwriter - the All New Ghostwriter doesn't count

Disney needs to do both of those. Blank Check could star a black kid from the hood this time.
