I'm assuming you've been to the doctor(s). Take care of yourself. Get plenty of sleep. Rootin' for ya.
Film What old movie or TV series could do with a remake / reboot?
- Thread starter vidic blood & sand
- Start date
Yes I have, mate, but haven't mentioned it because I've enough symptoms to mention as it is.
Spiderman?
Splendid shout.
Outrageous. 2 was shit, 3 is brilliant.
This was also my shout earlier in the thread, I think it would be great. Great minds and all that
Yep,3 was pretty good considering. 2 was pants.
V - Cheesy enough that a serious redo would bang. Imagine giving lizard people the bsg treatment.
Nooooo, it's perfect!
Exactly, it's perfect!
Yes but no, it's perfect!
It is!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Idaho is slender and graceful though....
Sci-fi movies that had great concepts but failed. With the effects that we have now they can let their imagination run wild.
So i'm thinking: Waterworld. So much went wrong there and could be done better. Also ties in perfectly with the whole climate change thing, could work.

Why did he drink his own piss? I never understood that part. He pissed in a jar and then sticks it through a water filtration system before drinking it so why did he not just use sea water?
That's really bugged me for years.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I don't like reboots/remakes generaly, but given the format Blackadder could work
Star Wars 1-3 & 7-9.
I'd like to see mission impossible revert back to the old format with Jim Phelps leading the team properly again. Ethan hunt is annoying.
1- 3 ok, but 7-9 need to be erased from existence.
I'd like to see a remake of Highlander. Love the central premise. But this time they could fix the accents.
Good shout!
Hoped you were joking when you mentioned Dwayne Johnson and Big Trouble in Little China. But then I realised you were serious
It was one of my favourite films when I was growing up and the only thing they could improve on in my opinion was Special Effects. I've heard it's not a remake but a continuation. I've just found out there are 3 books so expect to see Dwayne Johnson as Jack Burton again unless it flops badly.Would love to see Highlander for the special effects but who would you cast?
Good question. I'm not insisting the actor playing McLeod actually be Scottish but at least have a passable accent.
Updated special effects are one of the main reasons I'd like to see a remake. Better sequels too hopefully.
Give it a few years it could be shot as a documentary.
I agree he should have had a better Scottish accent but there could be a point made that his accent isn't going to sound fully Scottish as he says he is "from lots of different places" I totally agree about the special effects and think they would be spectacular.
After how much I enjoyed the original I was disappointed by the sequels. I think it would be hard to find anybody to play The Kurgen as good as Clancy Brown, so if it did happen I think they might have to take the character out.
Same soundtrack though.
But the accents are part of the charm. Plus you couldn't change the soundtrack. There really wasn't that much in the way of special effects to be had in it anyway. My only complaint with the film was The Kurgen's sword being hilariously bad. It's too gimmicky.
Yeah apparently he pitched the idea himself and I think I heard he is producing it. I do not like this, the original is perfect, it does not need a remake or sequel and no one but Kurt Russell can play Jack Burton. Part of what made Burton work was that he was a bumbling idiot that kept lucking his way out of things while firing off one liners that didn't make any sense. The Rock throwing people around and raising his eyebrow is not the same thing.Hoped you were joking when you mentioned Dwayne Johnson and Big Trouble in Little China.

Good Call but who would play Popeye Doyle?
Agreed I think the sound track was amazing and perfectly fitting.
Some things just ‘are‘ perfect for what they are. That soundtrack was one of those things.
There can only be one jack burton dude!Hoped you were joking when you mentioned Dwayne Johnson and Big Trouble in Little China. But then I realised you were serious
Hugh Jackman?
I hope to feck he doesn't spoil it. Your totally right Kurt Russel is Jack Burton. Some things like this
Great stuff.There can only be one jack burton dude!
Maybe it could work as Jackman has got the presence and toughness but Popeye Doyle is one of my favourite Gene Hackman roles and I'm a big Gene Hackman fan.
Speaking of Kurt Russel, there were plans to remake Escape From NY.
I too love Gene Hackman. I think Jackman's got lot of presence as seen in Logan. Loved him in that.
Agree totally. I once read about the training he did to put himself into Wolverine mode and it was extreme but really made admire his dedication.
I also liked him in prisoners. Seems like decent bloke too.
I've never heard of Prisoners but just had a quick read and seems good. Thanks for mentioning I will watch this soon
