Films that should be remade

Hmm funny that 'The Time Bandits' come's to my mind also when you mentioned this film.

I used to love films like 'Sinbad', and I know one I do love, Dare could it be remade?:confused: :eek: 'Clash Of The Titans'. I love that film, bore the kid's to death now if that comes on:D

What about 'Flash Gordon'? it's only a matter of time. I mean we have already had Spider Man, Superman, Fantastic 4, The Hulk etc....
 
Queen of the Damned, but this time split it back out into the books. ie Vampire Lestat and then Queen of the Damned. Also make it more faithful to the books.
 
That was heavily rumoured a few years ago but it never came to anything.

Also, arguably, the Terminator films robbed alot of the novelty value...
 
Hot-foot from this thread http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=581179 -
'Hostel' is a film that should be remade.

The first part was very promising... then the stuff in the abandoned factory (or whatever it was)... but instead of keeping up the "wtf is going on?" suspense it descenRAB into a boring and second-rate special effects gore-fest, and a revenge story, which is particularly unsatisfying.
They should have left much more to the imagination, and built up and kept up the mystery and suspence for a lot longer.
 
The Running Man

The film with Arnie took the most basic element of Stephen King's book - TV game show where prisoners get chashed to the death - and got rid of all the interesting parts.

In the book, the game show is very similar to that old Channel 4 one called Wanted (but with added killing) where the person is released into the outside world, has to leave a video message every day, and the public are encoraged to phone in if they spot them for a reward. In the film, the characters are different, the plot is different, basically everything is different and the book would make quite a good film. But Hollywood would probably get squeamish about the ending..

..where our hero flies a plane into the TV station's skyscraper HQ.

Also agree with the above post, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles deserve to be done properly. Not that Interview with the Vampire was a bad film, it was great, but it's just a one-off, would be nice to have a proper series of films with the same actors throughout.
