depends how recent the movie/show is. but currently reboots of old movies are often terrible compared to the original.
Am i having deja vu? I think I've seen not only this post but also a lot of the comments
Instead of remaking or rebooting successful ~~movies~~ memes. how about vou remake old ~~movies~~ memes that flopped or ~~movies~~ memes that suffered from bad effects and improved them?
Or maybe they could come up with an original idea
Crazy talk I know
I think the answer to the question she asks is that an unholy alliance of focus groups, market analysts, and accountants have calculated that the Path to Most Money (tm) goes over in the opposite direction, away from the fun stuff.
I'm sure there's usually good low budget feature-length stuff out there being made, but in today's media landscape it's up to the viewer to find interesting and unique content. It isn't going to be blasted into the faces of all the passive viewers like Avengers 37 will be.
A remake of Post Grad would hit super well right about now
Ocean’s 11 is usually the example of this concept done right. The original was pretty bad.
Does mortal kombat count?
Yeah I'd love to live in that world
Ricky-Oh!
We need a murder mystery that takes place at a Disney world resort or park, produced by Touchstone studios so it can get the R rating. Targeting Disney adults. Disney gets to have their park as a backdrop and set piece for the movie. No 'unmasking' any of the characters, none of the characters did it, and they might actually help out in some cheeseball fashion. The park appears to otherwise be operating around the movie events.
We need a full remake of the movie Brainscan. I loved that movie as a kid and always dreamed of the day when games became so real you couldn't quite distinguish virtual from reallity. Brainscan does a okay enough yet extremely 90's take on it and its just a fun, cheesy, and nerdy horror movie. It would be fun to see what an actual talented writing team and production crew could do with that same story adding what we know now.
Disney's been trying. 'Once More With Feeling' is a whole podcast about the reboots. Did you know Disney remade Pete's Dragon and The Shaggy Dog? I didn't.
Fuck that, just make more theaters and let drama kids re-enact them with their own creative vision
That's actually a fairly good take - they could make a bunch of old scripts and make them enticing to license, and couple that with a small fund to seed some ultra small-scale productions (by Hollywood standards). I like it.
Couple that with remakes on whatever gets traction and it could prove short term profitable as well as raise the overall long term value of their vault. (I hate that this analysis is needed, but unless we change copyright law, this buy-in would be a necessary step.)
It’s Dune. Great book but original movie needed improvement
Well they are remaking he man…
and She Ra, but sadly the new versions are owned by separate studios.
Need more Who Framed Roger Rabbit type work.
Let’s not ruin a classic!
Movie mash-ups.
Back to the Future and Tron.
Blade Runner and Hawaii 5-0
Truman and Silo.
Mrs. Doubtfire and John Wick.
WALL-E and alien.
What I wouldn't give to see a swarm of Xenomorphs tear ass through that ship full of obese humans
Sigourney Weaver was in both movies.
Better yet, why not create something original?
We could certainly use a lot more Discworld movies.
Because no one watches those.
I just want a good adaptation of Dragonlance. I had dreamed for decades over that.
The animation movie wasn't even that bad.
We had a great test run with Honor Among Thieves
So, we have Forgotten Realms… do a Dragonlance… then Planescape to complete the D&D Cinematic Universe 😜
I'm upset that Honor Among Thieves wasn't considered a bigger success, it was a lot of fun.
I saw it in theaters and loved it. Made sure to buy the DVD just to show support/sales
Two words: Easy Money
The best example is The Thing. The original film in the 1950s was awkward af. But the 1980s remake by John Carpenter was chef's kiss. Then they made a remake of a remake and it was meh.
