What Movies are Well-Suited for a Remake or Sequel? - GeraldRice - 01-13-2010

Sheesh, is the predator going to take their skulls for trophies or beat them up and take their lunch money?

You guys realize Predators (plural) is a sequel to the first two and not a remake, right?
The Predators abduct a handful of humans, drop 'em on a planet and then hunt 'em down.

I didnt think the script was that bad ... I think the problem with it was bad acting (no offense to the unexperienced actors in the movie)

I don't remember where I rented it, but I didn't make it through the 1st 3rd of the movie.

I don't know if it's well suited for a remake but Stephen King's It is on it's way.

I can't find the other link, but a script was turned in over Christmas.

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a decent remake of "The Stand", without all the posturing and moralizing.

GeraldRice Wrote:Just checked. One of the lead guys for Conan is Roland Kickinger. He is very reminiscent of Schwarzenegger. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0452199/The Canadian guy looks like a great Can-didate...heh...first off, his hair looks darker (and there has never been a real Conan movie because none of them have had BLACK hair). Second, he's not 40-something...unless the movie is about King Conan, Kickinger is too old; Cudmore is almost 30, 15 years after Conan began adventuring. Third, he's had far more quality roles (at a young age) than the older guy has had through his entire career (of imitating Arnold).
The other guy played Colossus in X-Men 2.

Finally, the best news of all regarding the movie, is that Brett Ratner [turns and spits on floor] has been canned from the project!
Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder with Carl Urban) is listed as the new Director.
Hard to think of a better choice, at this time, that would actually direct a barbarian movie.
