Jumbo Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Guillermo del Toro directs. You name the cast. Viggo Mortensen = good Javier Bardem = bad Danny Trejo = ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaldeje Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Charade might be interesting, but probably too convoluted by a director today. I would love to see not a remake, but a continuation of the Thin Man series, but they would have to find two people with such incredible chemistry.

Metalhead Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Taxi Driver Director: David Lynch. Lynch would make it a TRUE psychological thriller. And intense. This version would be more of an internal mental struggle. Travis, the Cabbie: Michael Keaton (even though he's kinda old now..he'd be insane with Lynch directing him, omg). With his track record of roles, he could pull off a more schizophrenic approach. Betsy, campaign worker: Carrie Anne Moss. The "you better freakin impress me to go on a date" attitude that wasn't pulled off before. Iris, teen prostitute: Maybe Imogen Poots, the young girl from 28 Weeks Later. Otherwise anyone really, has to be a young girl willing to do such a controversial role. I chose her because she looks to have a lot of potential. Sport, the pimp: Willem Dafoe. He's worked with Lynch, and created the sleeziest, nastiest character I'ver ever seen. Wizard, the street-smart cabbie: Peter Boyle, still. He's old, wise, and is kinda creepy lookin now...which would fit Lynch's dark styles. I thought the original by Scorcese was severly lacking, and was only respected because it was simply in your face, like the porn, teen prostitutes, and shooting pimps. I would cut out the war thing, leave more of an enigma into Travis' past. I'd also take out the whole senator connection and replace it with Travis witnessing crimes right on the street without justice intervening.

Burgold Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm not sure which one, but I'd take a whack at one of the Abbot and Costello Movies or maybe Coconauts by the Marx Bros. Love the patter and cleverness and outright ridiculousness of some of those old time comedy teams. Bud and Lou were really funny. Casting them would actually be really hard.

Walking Deadman Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Attack of the Killer Tomatoes directed by Michael Bay. Blowing **** up (namely tomatoes), have a hot Megan Fox type girl running around in short/tight fitting clothes. and somebody for some mild comic relief = summer blockbuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea? GREAT choice. Sci-fi Channel made one but it was so-so. A motion picture would be the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Godzilla, Star Trek, Terminator-maybe. As for the real classics, Casablanca, GWTW, Citizen Kane, Kubrick's films, and the like, that stuff should remain untouched. Remaking them is sacriligious. Seriously. Hey, I've got an idea. How about instead of trying to remake perfectly good films, the folks in Hollywood bring together good actors, directors, scripts and production crews? Then, VIOLA! A good film. Amazing concept. But I suppose radical ideas like that will never take hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
