I'm sick and tired of Hollywood remaking already good movies. Why don't they attempt to remake the mediocre and promising-but-very-flawed movies of years past? So let's hear your recommendations. I'll start.

The Omega Man. The Heston film is a somewhat cult classic, but it's very cheesy and I think the lack of coherent storytelling and budget hurt this film a lot. It hasn't aged well at all. That said, the groundwork is there for an awesome movie. With some money behind it, and a decent director and writer, this would could be awesome.

Drinky, if you say Spider-Man... you're banned.

Evil Dead 2 -- Chris Nolan or some other director with talent should take a stab at making it legitimate

SAW

In 10-12 years or so I'd love to see a more experienced tackle the premise of the first movie, which was held from brilliance by unexperienced directors and poor acting.

I have been saying this for years. Dont remake classics, remake movies that had great concepts but were executed terribly. I have a whole list of these movies, and I cant think of one at the moment. Once my brain fart is gone, I will post some.

Willco is getting his wish:

With Will Smith no less! Also, I Am Legend has been made into a movie like 6 times already.

It's one of the worst movies of all time, along with The Third Man. I would love to see Ron Howard's spin on it, or Robert Zemekis

I am actually looking forward to the Will Smith Omega Man!

Does everyone else have PD on ignore??? Citizen CANE??

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:57:58 PM »

They just realize when I'm bullshitting

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:58:47 PM »

After a while you can tell the joke posts apart from the real posts. PD becomes a much better poster when you can do this.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:00:01 PM »

Why thank you

Actually I saw Citizen Cane when I was really, really young; I don't remember much of it, so I need to watch it again

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #16 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:00:28 PM »

I've been on GAF too long. My sarcasm meter is broken.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:02:19 PM »

Cajole, come on. Ron Howard didn't give it away?

I knew you were joking the second post...

Fuck. I think I'm on the low side of the virgin IQ scale.

Shaun of the Dead is one film that, no doubt, is PERFECTLY paced.

have you never seen Pitch Black. It was a low budget scifi/thriller. It did many things well but it could benefit from some Hollywood moneys.

Yeah but I don't think it would really benefit from a remake.

I disagree. Pitch Black was a movie that by all means should've been a trainwreck. Why roll the dice again and get what the concept really deserves? It's reheated Aliens.
