Tommy-the-Greek Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 With all the incredible special effects that studios can create today. Are there any older/classic movies that you would like to see a remake of? For me here is a quickoff the top of my head list to get the ball rolling. The classic Sinbad pirate movies. Clash of the Titans Close encounters of the third kind Rosemary's baby The Omen/Damien movies What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartskins Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Evil Dead, just to see what Sam Raimi would do with current technology. But then again, it was pretty cool as it was. Maybe "The French Connection." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Out of your list I would love to see Clash of the Titans re-done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Casablanca. And I think they should try to get David Soul (Hutch of TV's Starsky & Hutch) to play Bogart's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I think I'd like to see the special effects of 2001 re-done. I would love to see modern technology recreate the "hotel room" scene as Clarke wrote it. (As Clarke wrote it, the hotel room had no outside, it was only an interior floating in space. But it had gravity. It had no roof. But it had an atmosphere. It was in orbit around a red giant star. The star was also orbited by a blue dwarf. Somehow, the hotel room was protected from heat that should have made it burst into flames. (But, it might not film as wierd and "gosh wow" as it reads.) It's hard to recommend a classic to re-do. The fact that the classis is a classic implies that they got it right, the first time. (And please, don't give Lucas a chance to change Star Wars again.)

spjunkies Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 "The Clock" Starring Judy Garland and Robert Walker. It's not a well known movie but I think it would make a excellent love story if it was remade today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Clash of the Titans would be awesome. Evil Dead is being remade. Logan's Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy-the-Greek Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Leonard, the Wizard of Oz and the last star fighter are 2 good ones. I just thought of the movie Westworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselPwr44 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The Dirty Dozen There's no way that the remake would even approach the original. Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Clint Walker,Telly Savalas..... Too much star power that can't be matched today. They'd probably try to remake it with those stiffs Affleck and Damon too..:puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamSneed36 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 would total recall count? Thats a tight movie which could be really cool with a special effects overhaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Theres a great old movie called 'The Naked Prey' I'd love to see redone. Maybe set on an alien planet. The entire movie is Cornell Wilde running from a tribe of natives trying to kill him. Almost no dialogue, but totally engrossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJWatson3 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 for a while now i've been thinking "Clash of the Titans" and "Logan's Run". i read a year or so ago that they were trying to write a new script for "Logan's" but it didn't go anywhere or the director they wanted was busy.... i'll check for an update on that.

Tommy-the-Greek Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Logan's Run is a cult classic that I have never seen before. You guys have peaked my interest about this movie. I am going to try to watch it this long holiday weekend now. I see that they are going to release a new King Kong movie this summer. I saw the previews tonight before the war of the worlds. This looks like a cool remake. The Mad Max movies have potential for a good remake. So would the day the Earth stood still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 They should do a sequal to Taxi Driver and cast Robert de Niro as Travis Bickle again. Seriously, who wouldn't want to see where everybody's favorite maniac ended up 30 years later? I say this only half joking. And zoony, I think It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World was already remade in the form of Rat Race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
