Bobby199 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Erogon- because the inheritance cycle books where brillant and the **** first film curtailed any subsequent ones. I would like to see a sequel to master and commander (of for that matter the kingdom of heaven) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nooooooooooooooooooo the whole issue with Jaws was the shark looked awful so they had to shoot around it and use the camera as the shark which added suspense and tension that a CGI shark jumping out at us wouldn't I think the only films that should be remade are ones where the technical things couldnt be realised for any reason and that modern tech would make it work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpkiller Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Non, they should come up with new stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Citizen Kane. Gets some serious CGI a boat chase and some glocks to sex-up that mo-fo. Do the same for the Wizard of Oz too - flying monkeys? Cyber-punk monkeys on flying snowboards, that's where the money shot is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'd love zulu to be re made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bad lindz Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'd love zulu to be re made I was thinking the same but I don't think you could better the original. I think the same would apply to all of our favourite golden oldies, modern film techniques would probably spoil the memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hrmmmm true yes, but with modern cameras and special effects it'd be ace I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 With my wife being a Star Wars fanatic I would like to see them remade -------- BADLY That way it might put her off from forcing them on me and my boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Any attempt to remake Jaws or Zulu would be pretty pointless. The originals are classics, irrespective of the level of special effects that were used in making them. If it ain`t broken . . . With my wife being a Star Wars fanatic I would like to see them remade -------- BADLY Already been done. Haven`t you seen episodes 1,2 and 3?

Ricko Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 The only remake that I think exceeded the original was the version of The Thing with Kurt Russell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 The remake of Heat was a good remake, as was Tim Burtons remake of Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and the horror classics such as Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy just get better and better......with exceptions. Stallones Get Carter was dire, as was All Quiet on the Western Front, and even Tom Hanks couldn't save The Lavender Hill Mob whereas The Postman Always Rings Twice was a huge success, albeit mostly down to Jessica Lange and Jack Nicholsons sex scenes and Cape Fear was a cracking film, although I can't say it bettered Mitchums original. Jacksons King Kong (although a bit cliched) was superb. I'd like to see a remake of The Battle of Britain; with todays CGI the aerial combat scenes would be something to remember, but don't let Spielberg direct it. The only remake that I think exceeded the original was the version of The Thing with Kurt Russell. Good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipdog Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 The Sting, with modern credit card and online betting transactions. The new film could have the same script but the method would be very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossEM Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 In other news, did you know that the estuary victim in Jaws is the same actor as plays the dead 'fed' body in The Goonies? True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJW Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Can't remember a remake which was a patch on the original. Pretty much every Marval Super Hero film is much better compared to the originals now due to CGI and funding. Erogon- because the inheritance cycle books where brillant and the **** first film curtailed any subsequent ones. I would like to see a sequel to master and commander (of for that matter the kingdom of heaven) I couldn't agree more!!!! What fantastic books. They had so much potential and the first film ruined it. Luckily for anyone who's interested they are all on Audibol now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
