Movies You Would Like To See Remade/Sequels

#1

Post by ThatDude100 » Thu Mar 14, 2013 12:41 pm

One of the main ones I always think about when it comes to remakes is The Warriors (1979). I believe it's one of those movies you could remake every 10 years or so. Some movies could never work as a remake (really, im imagine if someone remade Back To The Future), but, some movies I believe you can remake several times. The Warriors, I believe, is one of those movies. It's a basic enough story, the look of the original movie is definitely outdated now, I just think it could work as a remake. Plus, with what we got to see in The Warriors video game on X Box and PS2, I believe they could have alot more fun with a remake. The only reason I wouldn't like to see it remade is because i'm curious how the look of the Baseball Furies would look. I think anyone that's ever seen The Warriors, would definitely think of KISS when they look at the Baseball Furies, so, I am curious if they'd keep the same look, or if they'd just completely change the look up.

If you've never seen the movie, you should go check it out sometime. Anyway, for me, it's just one of those movies that I think could work as a remake. I am surprised at how it's just become one of those movies that doesn't have a huge fan thing of anymore. From what I understand, in 1979 when it first came out, it was a HUGE deal. This movie could definitely be a remake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None.

I'd like them to make new movies instead.

Actually, someone should remake My Wife is 18 in a western context. I'd like to see that.

And since the Norwegian Wood adaptation sucked, they should let me re-adapt it. I'll keep the brilliant casting of Kiko Mizuhara, though.

I'd like a good adaptation of And Then There Were None.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

...think 'The Warriors' is just fine as is.

I generally don't care for remakes. They're rarely an improvement on the original, and they invariably vanish from the zeitgeist within a few years while the original endures forever (for instance, I'd completely forgotten about that worthless Marky Mark-infused remake of 'The Italian Job' until literally just now).

See, I think this scene alone makes the Italian Job remake worth it.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

We could do a remake of Back to the Future, but we'd have to accommodate for time differences assuming this is made in 2015, and Marty McFly travels back to 1985:

- Marty shows Doc archive footage on his iPhone instead of a camcorder.

- "Hey, Kurt? It's your cousin, Marvin Cobain! You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well, listen to THIS!"

- "Oh, don't be ridiculous, dear. Nobody's seen Return of the Jedi a hundred times yet. It hasn't even been released on VHS!"

- DOC: "Marty, who is the President in 2015?" MARTY: "Barack Obama." DOC: "Barack Obama? Did we lose a war or something?"

^Man, some people saw Return of the Jedi a hundred times in theaters. ;)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

So what you're saying is, a Seth Green scene made a movie for you.

...would you be offended if I offered to pray for you, friend?

Scarface! Remake or sequel doesn't matter.

Scarface was actually already a remake itself, assuming you're referring to the one with Al Pacino. The original from 1932 is worth checking out, if you haven't already seen it.

Indeed, I was referring to the one with Al Pacino. I will definitely look into the original one, thanks!
