I want a Conan TV series in the vein of GoT. The series will guest feature Arnold as Old King Conan retelling his life's story for his chronicler. The first episode will be the birth of Conan in the mountains of Cimmeria. The first season will be Conan growing up in Cimmeria until he is in his late teens. What do you guys think?

Yes, from what I've heard Arnold will play an older Conan who has been King for many years. Haven't heard about a younger Conan, though. I am going to see this movie whenever it comes due to my love of Conan the Barbarian but I think Conan could really work as a TV show.

"Waterworld" as a full developed post-apocalypse-film written and directed by Christopher Nolan 3. "Mortal Kombat" (The Movie) written and directed by Guillermo del Toro (Rated R and least as violent/bloody as the games)

+KissingZombie's Channel Although I like the old games and the two movies (guilty pleasure), I don't think you should make a film based on the first game. Many thinks like the puzzles just don't make sense from a story perspective. Hell, a faithful adaption of any of the games seems difficult to me for the same reason. Too much gamey stuff that occupy the player for a lot of the time are neither logical nor interesting for watching. If you really want to make a RE-movie, Zero and maybe 4 might be more interesting, although Zero would look like a ripoof of Train to Busan and 4 needs a makeover^^ But a guy stranded in a hostile village sounds much more interesting. And the cthulhu-like cult could be wonderful^^ And sorry for being an ass, but what made the original game so great?^^

I agree with you with the exception of Starship Troopers. A film that is more faithfull to the books would be faaaar more interesting to wacht than the original, a quite flaw film. If the politics of the book is what bugs you, a film that is objective about the setting and lets the audience decided would perfectly work. You can even do a good satire while being faithfull to the books. Putting that aside, I would prefere a miniseries over a film.

A miniseries would be perfect. The thing that made the book interesting was the universe and seeing the philosophy behind it. It doesn't really work as a single overarching story but rather just observing the change of a humble fellow from the Phillipines to a galaxy trotting badass space marine while showing the value of the human spirit regardless of creed or skin color. It's my favorite book for a reason.

They have sharpshooters firing on them an one in five hundred shots is a live round while the rest are blanks. And the only person that dies in the training was due to him rolling too aggressively. It's the perfect melancholy way to end a small story. You probably already knew that but it's my favorite part of the book and I love talking about it.

One thing that I think would be interesting would be _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_, but without kiddifying it all and making it über-family-friendly, and instead going for the tone of the original comics (which were apparently more violent than televised and film versions of the franchise). The 1990 film had elements of the right stuff (including support from the brilliant - and sadly now defunct - Golden Harvest studio) but by the studio pandering to the parents that complained that it was too dark and violent for their children when it came to making the sequels it just feels like a missed opportunity.

I've always wanted to remake the early 80s slasher movie FADE TO BLACK. A narrative with great ideas, great scenes and an awesome lead performance. It's just some of its subplots, pacing and visual direction left me with a lot to be desired. I'd honestly take it into a different genre, instead of it being about a vengeful sexually repressed movie nerd, mine would be a romantic comedy about a woman working in a video store in the 90s. She'd be obsessed with movies, hoping that her next love interest would fall into the sentimental movie cliches she loves, her expectations would be done in classic film styles and contrast from her reality... I suppose it'd be less of a remake and more of a movie done in a similar genre, like I Wanna Hold Your Hand vs Detroit Rock City.

I'd love to see a take on The Thing that focuses more on the psychological horror over the body horror. There's an idea that I think is very important to the premise, but that the films never really explore: that you could already have been taken over by the Thing and _not know it_. That the creature can manipulate your memory and perception, and your whole mind and consciousness is just a simulacrum that could be erased any moment if the creature decides to take over. The blood test scene would be less "find the traitor" and more like some horrible AIDS test, where you learn that you're already dead, you just don't know it yet. Basically the human experience of mortality and fragility turned up to 11, plus an examination of the meaning of consciousness and identity.

When I’m a successful writer director I want to remake “Robin and the 7 Hoods” - hear me out. The movie has very strong and funny scenes, as well as some fantastic songs: Mr B-O-O-Z-E, My Kind of Town and Style - but in other places it drags and the jokes don’t always hit very well, and that really breaks my heart because I remember seeing it once as a kid and loving it. The Rat Pack is the Rat Pack, you would never in a million years be able to recreate them, so the cast of the remake would still have their chemistry but just in different ways, with some crooners but also maybe some more modern R&B artists to spice it up a bit - the songs would still be solid crooning though, maybe a bit more “La La Land”-esque however to modernise. Some details I’d change: - Keep the songs above but scratch the others (I love Bang Bang but it just isn’t as strong as the rest), and compose new ones. - ensure the jokes are snappy and land much better - aim the movie at a PG or 12 rating, I thought the corpses inside concrete blocks was a bit morbid for a cheery musical - although was pretty badass at the end, if a bit last minute - make it clearer who the 7 hoods are, give them more dimension, and give the femme fatale much more sinister screen time - basically keep the Mr Booze scene the same because it’s awesome but make the editing a little snappier and the dancing more grand I mean I’m just hurling shit at a wall here to see what sticks but this was fun to think about.

Surrogates (2008). The concept (taken from a French graphic novel) was clever, almost like something out of Black Mirror, but it was framed like a dumb, loud action movie. Get a filmmaker like Alex Garland or Charlie Brooker to mine the idea of people living out their everyday lives through robotic surrogates, while their actual bodies are hooked up to a computer inside their house, crank up the dark satire and borderline psychological horror, and you'd have something good there.

I think a darker more grown up remake of Labyrinth would be good. The story of an immature spoiled child who hides in a fantasy world from the pervasive threat of growing up is forced to deal with a threatening but appealing older man who awakens not only her sexuality but a sense of responsibility and purpose that comes with adulthood, while also accepting her new family, step mom and step brother. I think the original Labyrinth hinted strongly at a number of psychological issues that young women entering adulthood might encounter, but kept it fairly light since it was for children. I'd like to see a version smart and meta enough for an older nostalgic crowd that is also suitable for a teen crowd, like a PG-13 version. NOT Tim Burton! No muppets, no songs. Sort of like what A Company of Wolves did for Red Riding Hood. Ok, maybe some muppets.

Starship Troopers could certainly use a remake (instead of it's obvious hatred of the source material) to tell a compelling story of an 18 year old from a wealthy family wanting to make his first real decision: 1) He enlists in the military of the world government 2) He is challenged by the training like he has never been before 3) He reflects upon his place in society as a member of the military and a citizen 4) He overcomes his fear of failure and death to become a part of a team 5) He realizes he is doing something important and necessary 6) He feels called to become an officer 7) He grows as a leader putting the mission and his men above his personal motivations 8) He comes to the conclusion some things are worth fighting for 9) As a Filipino he is proud of his heritage (as well of all the other troopers of theirs). Yeah, all fascist stuff... the ones that claim Robert Hienlein's book is fascistic are only those upset that he mocked Leftist thinking by saying their ideas were unscientific claptrap from the book's perspective in the far future. Read it for your selves and decide which story you would rather see (Heinlein's, with a unique future society you have NEVER seen portrayed in cinema or Verhoeven's satire that has nothing in common with the book, except the name).

First off, you've earned a new subscriber. Second, I would remake The Crow. Or I suppose, I'd rather reboot it. The comics had a big impact on my artstyle growing up and the subject matter shaped me as a person. I'd love to just create a huge storyboard and pitch it sometime. I think the primary draw of The Crow was the story of vengeance and setting oneself at peace. The visuals would of course be all practical, but at the very least, if not that, they'd be primarily practical. Even to fit the modern era, a movie like The Crow could be done without reference to the times. No cellphones and the like constantly shown. Perhaps the setting could be that of a run down city neighborhood like the original to inhibit the use of a lot of modern technology, rather focusing on the way the characters deal with their situation in this environment of broken down and wasteful debilitation. It's a story that is undeniably timeless and has spawned a few sequels, of which were in poor taste due to dwindling budget and teams that didn't care to create a new character. Why not have an abusive boyfriend or girlfriend who loses the one they love, then find out that they made a huge mistake and ended their own lives, only to return? Yeah, it's basically the same story, but it creates a NEW character, not just one with a new name in a new setting.

Can we compare a Dune or Starship Troopers remake with Robocop? Dune and Starship Troopers are adaptations from a greater source material. You can literally make a dozen movies based on the Dune novel and each could be from a unique perspective. Robocop was written for the screen, what we see on screen is literally everything the source material has to offer. In my opinion Dune wouldn't be a remake or a reboot, it'd just be the 2nd movie to adapt the novel.

It's quite different to see working on an action movie without the studio interfering so much. Elite squad is a film that resembles much more the original Robocop than the remake, is action movie that explores social problems and criticizes society, and thats why i was hoping for a good remake... And Elite Squad is first time that the Padilha worked with the Wagner Moura (Escobar in Narcos).

He then decided to satirize it, except, since he hadn't read the book, he was actually satirizing a shallow charicature of what he imagined the book to be. This made the satire of the film very one-note, shallow, and obvious. In other words, it sucked. A shame, because the film had a lot of good elements.

A remake could solve probloms like this. But Christopher Lambert and Brandon Lee are those characters, and should'nt be reimagined even The Joker with Heath Ledger instead of Jack Nicolson are more then just different interpretations there different stories, tones, and universes.

It's interesting, because I agree with pretty much everything you say here, but I disagree with you on specifics. I love that you used the phrase 'respecting the original', because I hated Starship Troopers - not that it was a bad movie, but that the only thing it owed to the novel was the name. No one would be remaking the Starship Trooper movie - they'd simply be making the movie of Starship Troopers and having respect for the source material. On the other hand, while Highlander might not have been a great movie, it was original in almost every since of the word. I discovered that movie by accident (theater hopping on my day off when I was 20 years old), and I was amazed by the things it did. I would like to see someone else with more skill and a bigger budget approach the same ideas, but there's no need to redo Highlander, because nothing they do can ever have the impact of the original.

I can think of 2 challenges to this. One is the idea that movies that are certified perfect do not NEED to be remade. I always question that because I find the habit that many people have of saying that a movie "needs" or does not "need" to be made weird. Movies are entertainment. They don't need purpose. We make 'em because they're fun to make and fun to watch. Looking for purpose in a film is a business mindset, not a critical one. The other is the idea that remakes need to respect the source material. That excludes the potential of subversion and deconstruction that the remake can be used for. You brought up Starship Troopers and how it subverted the politics of the original novel by playing it as satire. If we applied your rule about remakes to book adaptations, Starship Troopers wouldn't exist. Other than that, I think this was a really well thought video.

I don't get the love for Oldboy. It's just a weird fucked up film.

All I saw was a movie acting like incest was a trendy topic. It hasn't aged well.

Oh, and I was about to forget DragonBall Evolution (sigh) ... Akira Toriyama's masterpiece deserves a Lord of the Rings movies budget and especially the love and respect of the source material like Peter Jackson did with Tolkien's universe.

No film should be remained... ever. Because 9 out of 10 times it's terrible and unnecessary. What we really need is new ideas.

True Grit? The Fly? The Thing? The Ring? - Shit, even Charlton Heston's Ben Hur was a "remake"... It's honestly okay... For the right reasons, - but shit, if this 7 minute essay can't get to you, then I won't. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? No; not the right reasons....

So "The Thing from another World" should have never been remade by John Carpenter? Or "The Blob"-Remake from the 80s? Those were bad Movies? I didn't know. And call me a Heretic - I liked the "Evil Dead"-Remake as a more serious, yet still cheesy, take on the original Movies.

Those movies that have really, really good remakes needed remakes because just having a new idea wasn't good enough the first time they tried. Also, 9 out of 10 movies are terrible and unnecessary anyway. Original or otherwise.

Omg, The Valley of Gwangi! I saw that movie about ten years ago, namely because I was trying to watch some Ray Harryhausen stop motion flicks. It'd be perfect for a remake with today's special effects.

Its two ways you can develope Highlander as a concept, either you go for a straight drama of a man who lived for centuries, focusing on the issues of a individual who constantly loosing those he loves and care for. Otherwise you go for a straight action epic with sword fights settled in feudal japan (or something similar) throw in some quasi inspirations of a gladiator game concepts, ( might work regarding the concept of fighting other immortals for "the prize"). They need to develope the the motivations why immortals have to fight otherwise the concept will not work.

I was about to bring up Highlander midway through the video. It is such a great concept with a flawed film. What one I would like to remake: Avatar: The Last Air Bender
