What Movies are Well-Suited for a Remake or Sequel? - Sam - 02-22-2010
The 5 Deadly Venoms
Dark City - hard to do better than the original though. Like to see what Terry Gilliam would do with this film.
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Blade Runner

How about Troll? You can play up the fact the lead character's name is Harry Potter (Jr.). Box office GOLD.

Scott Miller Wrote:And I'm one of them although I still prefer the original. And I think you've come across a couple of key points, at least in my mind when contemplating a remake. The first is when was the original made; in the case of Kong the original was made when movies were still quite primitive and an update using modern technology could really improve the look and the director's vision. The second is the original movie itself; was it a movie that could have been improved with a bigger budget or better production value? In the case of Re-Animator I really don't think that the movie would be consdierably different than what we saw already and I don't feel that CGI would enhance it much either. Now if they wanted to make a movie that more closely followed the source material I say go for it but a remake of the movie that has already been made would prove redundant and uninspired.
I'd do it on the source material. Much like they did with John Carpenter's The Thing. Even if you think the original was a classic, it's hard to argue with how great his version was.

John Carpenter's version raised the goosbump quotient of the original by a factor of 10.

Now that is something I could get excited about. That is, unless the idiots who ruined Godzilla in the US remake were involved. Then I would probably just want to find them and make them go away.

"Let's turn it into a tag team match and through Mighty Joe Young and Godzookie into the mix. And set it on Mars." I can hear those assholes screwing it up as we speak.
