Yeah yeah, I know, in Hollywood executives'mind, it's more obvious to reboot or remake the successful movies, and not the bad ones. "Everyone loved that movie 5/10/20 years ago, let's just make it again with a new cast without changing anything, and shower in easy movie", and " That movie flopped so HARD, it must be because no one want to see it/the story is not interesting, let's never talk about it again at all".We usually see MORE bad reboots, where they are done without any soul or understanding of what made the original so great.Case in point for movies that should never have been rebooted/remade : Total recall, RoboCop, Ghostbusters (with Legacy being more honest/better than number 3)Now, I would prefer reboots/remake of those which are considered "bad or awful movies", that we have really low chance to see again, with a good scenario, cast, action scenes, director....What would be your selection of movies to reboot ? My personal choices :the Dark Tower : when you see The Hobbit extended for so long with so little base material, and that the Dark Tower is a 1h 1/2 movie, I think it deserves another chance. Do something like Everything everywhere all at once, explore all the worlds of that universe and don't be afraid to build the world.Avatar the last airbender : give that story to Stephen Chow and let him go wild with his style. I know he doesn't do much movies now but he would be great for this.Mortal Engines : we had something that seemed so promising (moving cities that eat each others !!), and is so forgettable.-Eragon/Dungeon and Dragon : let's remake those type of movies but treat it like Lord of the rings, not like Scary movie.X- Men Origins Wolverine: everyone agree that the best part of the movie was the beginning credit with every war where Logan fought. Let's just make a movie centered on that, the story of someone who is hundreds years old and every important moments in history that he witnessed : Forrest Gump but instead of being a ping pong champion, the hero is a slaughtering champion.Recent Disney or teen movies : A wrinkle in time, Artemus Fowl, World of tomorrow, Percy Jackson.... I heard that the books that those movies are based on are excellent, yet the movies are...not so good, especially for fans of the books.So, if you had unlimited budget, cast and director of choice, what would you want to see again on the big screen ? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/iuXMxd5
