Okay, lets pretend that there is still some originality left in Hollywood. What movie would you like to see remade YOUR way with YOUR cast, what would it be and who would be in it?

It doesn't just have to be a movie but lets say a comic book series or a book.

For me... I know I am about to play with fire but... The Exorcist is one of my favorite movies of all time. Given the special effects now...I am actually very curious to see what a remake would look like. Would it be all campy and retarded or... would the makers actually stick true to the book as much as possible?

I would love to see The Running Man actually look like the book. Not some muscle-bound oaf being chased by cartoon-wrestler characters. In Stephen King's book, the lead was an everyday guy so desperate for money for his family that he signed up for The Running Man. And unlike the movie you have to survive in the outside world where anybody and everybody is trying to hunt you down...and especially if they do do the ending of the book.



First off, I consider Planet of the Apes one of my favorite movies. But because of budget constraints, and effects limitations they had to make many changes from Pierre Boulle's original novel(Monkey Planet)...but since the film is already yet again getting an update/reboot which is going even further away from the novel- this may never happen.



I'd also like to see a proper adaptation of Roger Zelazny's Damnation Alley- the 70's version is good cheesy fun, but is very different from the book.

i would LOVE to see a remake of Damnation Alley. Yes it was good cheesy fun... but so much more could have been done with it.

case and point... Clash of the Titans. the original was good cheesy fun but the remake was visually pleasing (that is the only reason i bring up that movie) i know a lot of people hated the remake but i guess i was one of the few that actually liked it for what it was... it was a darker remake of the original.

Okay. I want George Lucas to be in a straight jacket and I want Christopher Nolan to reinvision Episodes 1-3 of the Star Wars saga. I wouldn't mind seeing Lucas still having some of his ideas in these remakes, but he needs to not be involved in the making of them. I don't mind the cast that Lucas had. I actually loved Ewan McGreggor as Ben Kenobi, and Hayden Christensen did grow on me. But we need more Darth Maul and no Jar Jar Binks.

"David and Lisa" with Cillian Murphy as David and Ellen Page as Lisa. Directed by Darren Aronofsky.

That'd be trippy.

yes that would be awesome to see! jar jar needed to be on the business end of a light sabre if you ask me. and the whole thing with Hayden Christensen is I got sick of hearing "ITS NOT FAIR!!!!"

i do agree that Chris Nolan would do an awesome job.

It's funny because I wanted him to be violently murdered.

A Citizen Kane remake directed by Uwe Boll starring Keanu Reeves and Gillian Anderson.

Big Trouble In Little China:

I love the original, but I would really like to see a remake done. Would like to see Paul W.S. Anderson direct and Bradley Cooper in the lead.

Bradley Cooper is no Kurt Russell. Considering most of Carpenter's flicks are being remade it probably will happen, but most likely we'll get another The Fog.
