With Wans Mortal Kombat and David Goyers Hellraiser reboot on the drawing board, what do you think is the next legacy franchise that can be redone? What about the films make it viable for a new audience? How many films or what writers do you think would make the reboot a success?

Street Fighter.

BruceSkywalker
none.. no more reboots

Star Wars.


Just make movies out of the Zhan Trilogy, and go from there.

I'd like to see a modern take of The Fly.

The 1986 version is one underrated Sci-Fi Horror flick. Make it R. Throw enough money that it gets top-shelf CGI and hire proper director, writer and cast.

I've heard a remake was being considered, that was some time ago though.

Darkstorm Zero
Jaws.

Because a proper big budget shark movie has not been done since the original. And Jaws for it's time was simply believable and didn't need too much suspension of disbelief to work.

You don't need some ancient prehistoric titan like The Meg, or some weird experiment like Deep Blue Sea, or some wild ass tornadoes like Sharknado to make Sharks more dangerous for a movie, you just need compelling story. And i think Hollywoods overly fantastical elemements sometimes ruin otherwise capable concepts.

I remember reading David Cronenberg wanted to remake it again, Not sure what happen with that.

I wonder what the movie business would look like if we banned reboots for a decade? I'd like to think they would then think outside the box, get creative, and come up with some original ideas...but nah we'd just see even more movies based on books and comic books than we already do. Cuz Hollywood is lazy in a lot of ways* and we reward them for it.

*They work hard on their projects(most of the time) but they don't work hard on being unique

^^^Same!

But I really missed that armor at first. It worked better without it really, made the characters more vulnerable.

JAWS should NEVER be touched. The flaws with the mechanical shark actually made it a better film because they had to change strategy, making it a less-you-see-the-more-you-get thriller. You can't do the drama better. But there has been a very good shark thriller with up to date CGI in the past decade - The Shallows.

Many shark films have been lame in comparison to JAWS; this was the best one since then, in my opinion.

Additionally, instead of remaking JAWS, I'd like to see an adaptation of Close To Shore instead, which is about the 1916 shark attacks that inspired the JAWS story.

I'd be surprised if the movie can even get made nowadays, Too many PC people.

It would get a serious version of Futurama's parody, probably.



With a less sympathetic, less competent Zap Brannigan.
