Operation Double 007 starring Neil Craig, Daniel Craig’s less well known brother.
Why… the movie practically writes itself!
I dunno - I’d love to see either “Werewolf” or “Moon Zero Two” get some solid remakes. I just read that Disney+ is thinking of adapting Marvel’s “Werewolf By Night” comic for a Halloween special, so maybe that will satisfy my craving.
“The Horrors of Spider Island” Directed by Sam Raimi
I think This Island Earth could a great reboot. Cal would be played by Harrison Ford.
They’re all the movie they ought to be already.
As opposed to Joe Don, who has a very special set of jowls.
Has no one mentioned the Clonus remake yet? =P
OK. That would be a must-watch.
Fugitive Alien… animated by Miyazaki.
I’ve got several potential remakes from the MST3K vaults. If I had to pick one, I’d go with Prince of Space. I’d hire Shaina West for the newly gender-flipped lead role. I would hire Ironhead Studios for the costumes. I’d bring on a stunt team and director that knows how to film the action. Think John Wick. And I would definitely revamp the villains from the ground up.
you’d either have to change the title or make it an extremely silly big-budget parody, but Horror of Party Beach gets my vote. either going in a more serious direction with it or making it a pastiche of monster movies from decades past would result in something very fun and unique.
If budget is no problem, I think the two Rocky Jones movies would be great. Space Pirates! Two moons orbiting each other rocketing through space! Shooting Bobby out an airlock! Space epic, here we come.
With a more limited budget, The Gunslinger. A wife taking over as Marshall after her husband is killed and falling in love with the assassin hired to kill her by the local brothel madam sounds like a good western to me.
The Undead could be kind of like The Prophesy mixed with a little medieval time travel. Witches, souls, the devil (again played by Viggo Mortensen), sacrifice - it could be good.
I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before, but I’ve always wanted to see Michelle Rodriguez as Commander Cody in a Radar Men from the Moon remake.
I’m constantly disappointed whenever I turn it on and it ISN’T a beach musical a la Frankie and Annette! Take that – and add some ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ – and you’ve got, well, not a hit, but something that the Alamo Drafthouse would put into regular circulation.
But I’ve always said that if I made a movie it would be an ‘Alien From L.A.’ remake. Neon beachwear! Atomic-age drive-ins! Sunken caverns filled with… things to be mined! A matte painting of a city straight out of Bladerunner! Weird fashion! Think what one could do with all of this fertile eye candy if one added a plot and actual light to see any of it! I could finally answer the question of why the miner seems like her love interest for 3/4 of the movie before an extra steps out of the shadows and takes over! The mind reels!
Mitchell. But only if some of the riffs could be utilized for actual dialogue. This would bring me joy.
If we hold out just long enough, Warner Bros might just give us a monsterverse Gamera. Even though it likely wouldn’t be a strict remake of the films riffed, it’d it happen without us needing to do anything at all. If that still counts towards the premise.
I stand by my pick from another thread:
Well, The Island WAS kind of a remake of Parts, or at least that’s what the courts said.
Sampo/The Day the Earth Froze, Sampo/Magic Voyage of Sinbad, and Ilya Muromets/Sword and the Dragon could provide really cool remakes.
