Spoiler:

Irony.

Anyway, I'm not talking about a film inspired by the Running Man, I'm talking about an actual remake. There is a profound difference. Not to mention the fact that Gamer sucked in a big way. Even if it was a remake of The Running Man, which I don't think it is, it's not good enough.

I thought it was a half hour long cartoon.

Which is why it needs to be redone as a proper movie.

Although to be honest, I actually liked The Chronicles of Riddick. So there.

Also, blasphemy. Waterworld is a great movie and most definitely does NOT need to be redone.

I'm just going to leave this here. Blade Runner needs to be redone simply to take advantage of new special effects technology.

This. Waterworld= awesomeway to spend 2 hours.

Agreed, classics movies shouldn't be remade go for movies that were promising but needed a few fix-ups here and there.

Agreed.

Dark crystal
labyrinth
+1 last starfighter
monstersquad
spaceballs sequel
they live
creature from the black lagoon
ultramarines
excalibur
big trouble in little china



just to name a few.

I think that a Spaceballs prequel would be more appropriate.

And leave the Labyrinth alone! I'll suffer no slights against Jareth's almighty codpiece!

Big Trouble in Little China..?
Absolutely not...that film is perfect just as is...
Same goes for The Evil Dead..
In many of these films it's there "schlock value" that makes them so great...

And a Remake of Blade Runner?..no..no a thousand times NO...might as well go remake A Clockwork Orange while your at it..some movies should just be hands off.

Dark crystal
***Do you really want Kermit the Frog to come for you in the middle of the night, with pliers?

Labyrinth
***They play that at the Alamo in similar fashion to Rocky Horror Picture Show

+1 last starfighter
***No way Jose, not without the Magic Man.

monstersquad
***Cool

spaceballs sequel
***Mel Brooks would beat you to death with a plate of matzah balls you Schmutz!

they live
***No way, classic. OK maybe, but you need Roddy Piper again in a cameo.

ultramarines
***Excellent

excalibur
***Ok, I think I am going to just go ahead and eat your soul for the good of humanity.

big trouble in little china
***You don’t by chance know a girl with jade eyes do you?

Creature from the Black Lagoon
***I’m torn. On the one hand that’s one of my favorite movies, an absolute classic and I now want to eat your eyes for juju beads, on the other hand CGI might be neat here.

With Shia Labeouf as Alex!

What that i said the word Idiotic in the same post where an idiotic film is mentioned? Pretty tenuous Bro.
Must try harder.......

The problem is running man is a good concept and a rubbish film. Unlike Commando and Predator etc it does not have the killer script and excellent pacing. I would also say it is a pretty substandard Arnie performance (speaking as a connoiseur). Even that one with Jon Belushi is better, and no-one remembers that....

The remake will be by Riddley Scott at east.

No, it was calling people idiotic and then failing with a broken image link.

Right, hence people calling for a remake.

I don't see what the point of contention is here.

Ha! That picture of Alex looks like an overweight and pissed off Jude Law!

It's been an "A Clockwork Orange" sort of day here on Dakka, hasn't it?

As to the Shia Labeouf thing, I was trying to think of the actor I would be most offended by in that role. Also, I'm sure that the remake would take place in and around Alex's high school.

Haha! Werked when i posted.

Dont hotlink people! It can make you look foolish.....




Threads Remake please

GIZZER!

Go in peace, fair brother.

Yes...no doubt Alex would be break dancing and listening to "Gangsta rap" as well...just so " today's youth" could " identify" with him...

The problem with wanting the star wars prequels remade is that in essence they are extraneous and futile. Why bother having them in the first place?

IMO anyhting exploring the clone wars is lame. In the original star wars Obi wan mentions the clone wars once, it is just a throaway piece of dialogue, meant to be evocative and show the foreigness of the star wars universe. Yes 'clone wars' do sound cool but so do 'Starships on fire on the shores of Orion' and 'the tanhauser gate' doesnt mean a movie about them would be a good idea.

Saying that alot of people who propose them fall into the same traps as Lucas. Never ending ball numbing sabre fights and overly busy cgi dogfights being first among the sins proposed.

Oh and Ewan Mcgregor is TERRIBLE in those films, just as bad as Hayden Christensen (who like Ewan is also a Great actor 'Shattered glass' is a superb film, with a superb turn from Christensen as the main character).

Producer:

"We feel that our target audience would be turned off by all of the Beethoven. We've replaced the original classical music score with top 40 pop hits."

Bieber as Alex...."can you spare some cutter fer me bruther" "baby baby baby ohhh..smashes bums face with his cane. He drinks just milk from the milk bar. Instead of fighting there is dancing . Im gonna go cut my self for this.

Dungeons and Dragons (I'd make one based on the cartoon, darker with the now adult adventurers rediscovering the old abandoned funfair and that certain ride and returning to take on Venger).

Heard somewhere that a dune movie is in the works.

Frazzled wrote:*Psycho (you think you're better than Hitchcock? Seriously?)

Given the remake was done shot for shot, the problem was more that no-one could consider themselves better than Hitchcock, and didn't dare change anything, and therefore left the whole idea of remaking it completely pointless.

And someone needs to die for that offense.

Yeah, Ridley Scott should totally kill Ridley Scott for daring to remake his own damn movie.

It isn't a remake. In fact the production company specifically stated they would not attempt a remake.

Ridley Scott = 2012 not equal to Ridley Scott 1970s.
Its interesting. Listen to the Director commentary for Alien, then Gladiator, then that Robin Hood film. His speech is literally degrading. He now reminds me of some the guys I knew in school who had enjoyed the reefer lifestyle a little too much.

Yeah, most everything should...

Space: Above and Beyond

Crusade (sequel to Babylon 5)

Oh, absolutely. It's hard to figure out exactly what went wrong, but somethings changed. Looking at his most recent films, it's like he just needs to keep making his point, over and over again, more obvious each time. Kingdom of Heaven could have been pretty good if he didn't feel the need to keep hitting us in the face with 'religious tolerance is good' over and over again. Same thing for Robin Hood and the adventure of the Magna Carta.

I'm kind of interested in watching those director commentaries, but it would require sitting through Kingdom of Heaven and Robin Hood again...

Here's one that needs to be remade. A cool idea, but the execution was lacking.




Plus, they should re make the Knights of Cydonia music video by Muse, into a full length motion picture.

I desperately want a movie version of Pirate Latitudes.

You know Rollerball was originally a much better movie from 1975, right?
