Movie Remakes they SHOULD consider
 

I've just about had it with Hollywood and the pletheora of bad remakes. But, surely, there are a few remakes that could be done that might actually be good and worthwhile.

What would you LIKE to see remade into a good film and who would it star?

In no particular order:

• Xanadu
• Mame Please, dear gawd, cast someone who can sing in the title roll!
• Dungeons & Dragons
• Cannibal: The Musical

How's about The Towering Inferno. Now, you might not like the cast I have in mind but stick with me for a minute...

Tom Cruise
Ben Affleck
Britney Spears (in her film debut!)
Mark Whalberg
O.J. Simpson (revising his original role)
Jack Black
That Napoleon Dynamite guy
Gary Busey


Ok, here is the difference in plot from the original: In the new version, nobody survives! I'd pay $20 for a ticket to a movie in which I get to watch all of these people incinerate.

:cool:

Heck, I'd pay $100 to see them incinerated for real!

Brittney Spears's film debut.

I unfortunately stand corrected. Looks like a hell of a film, with emphasis on the "hell" part.

Where The Boys Aren't #27

I WAS halfway serious about the question I posed.

Really I was.

I've been musing over remaking the Philadelphia Story with contemporary actors, only I can't come up with a female star that doesn't make me shudder.

The Cabinet of Dr Calligari

Well, I can't wait to see the Flash Gordon remake, but I'd like to see a remake of Battle Beyond the Stars.
