Love to make a remake of road warrior,but cant afford the copy rights,make fallout the movie
good story,familiar setting,instant hit if done right

How bout pirates of the Caribbean,well that franchise is just about dead(thank god)but how bout adapting Monkey Island to the big screen.Any of you who also spent much of the beloved child hood pointing and clicking away with guybrush threapwood know how much of the game made its way to the movie,so why not make it into a movie

Any of you see the last deathrace2000(which is also a remake of a 70s cult classic with extra cheese),didn't it look like they were trying to make Twisted Metal into a movie?I wanna see sweet tooth do a magic trick...hey,where'd the pencil go?

It's grizzly, of course. But it is positively poetic. The production design, the cinematography. The casting! (Lecter's psychiatrist - what an inspired casting!) The reserve of the actors. It draws you into an insane surreality. I need to look and see who is directing this.

Starman sucked - and I'm a sci-fi geek.

Little Shop of Horrors has already been remade with Rick Moranis in 1986. That was after the Broadway play which was after the 1960 Roger Corman film.

Tank Girl was perfect. Remaking that would be as stupid as remaking Robocop.


Starman sucked....what are you saying?

That has to be one of the best movies ever made!!!!

Boy gets girl back.

Boy is a seasonal serial killer.

Boy loves Dog

Boy loses Dog

"A Dog and His Boy".. Harlan Ellison writes some really weird shit and the movie version wasn't bad at all.

A Crimson Pirate is such a good movie if they reboot it needs a new twist... Jet Li and Malay pirates would do it.

But, dang, Hollywood, there are so many excellent stories out there why keep rehashing old ones?
I still say H.Beam Piper's story "Little Fuzzy" would be a good one and it's in public domain. And think of the toy marketing. <grin>

One I'd like to see rebooted with modern effects is "The Raven" from 1961. The original had Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Tor Johnson (50s wrestler), the original Vampirella (Cassandra Peters really copied her for Elvira), and a badly acting nineteen year old Jack Nicholson.

Still, I think Adam Lambert has more range and since he probably has the wardobe already, they could save some money. After all, the first movie was low budget, they should do the same for a second, lol.

Columbia. Her name was Columbia.


The character was "Columbia". The person playing her performed under the name of "Little Nell". She had a one hit wonder with "Do the Swim", took her profits ad opened a nightclub in New York.

A comment on "Starman"... A good story but it was loaded with so much touchy-feely 1970s style "sensitive male" propaganda that it rather hangs up on the mental tonsils. But it set a landmark, the first sci-fi chick flick.

The question regarding Adam is can he act?

I did not see it but the chief complaint about Carrie Underwood's Sound of Music performance was that her acting was terrible.

I wish they would FUCKING STOP re-making classics that can never be duplicated, anyway.

I have no opinion on any of the listed movies but, if they ever re-make "Star Trek: Generations", I want to meet with the casting director!






But fans would need that slight British phonology dubbed in even though he was portrayed as being born in France. That's TV for ya.

You know I never really thought about it, but Picard's brother spoke with a french accent, he clearly admits to being from france, even practicing a bit of French nationalism in talking about how France had the order of Red, White and blue on the French flag was proper and the American flag was wrong.

So how the hell did he end up with an English accent?

He must be good at acting or something. <keeping careful straight face trying not to giggle>

Have you ever seen the guy that plays Jason in "True Blood" out of character? The guy's accent is so thick he is hard to understand at times.

You know it a strange film when Nicholson plays the normal character.

Yep they had to be really good shots, otherwise they would have hit someone, law of averages, like
Jack Benny's violin playing.
