yea rampage would be terrible i always felt like luke cage was one of those more reserved but can bring the pain if needed type of characters… whos the guy that plays the gatekeeper for thor… he was pretty good…
^^I think that was Idris Elba, same guy from The Losers.

That project fell through. These new Marvel movies have changed everything. Luke Cage is eventually an Avenger…which means if they do a movie now, it won’t be as if the actor is on his own like the Blade movies. Even if no one else is shown, it has to fit within that world they’ve created…unless they just abandon the idea of him ever working with these other characters.
They need to do a Black Panther movie first…and that would be one huge undertaking if done correctly.
I’m talking Coming to America/Zulu/Iron Man huge.

Or Derek Luke, but haven’t seen him in anything in awhile. And, all Nards was saying about the Thing is that the trailer made it look just like the first one on the surface. I made the same comment.
as a side note one “the Thing”
If you understand norweigen (i think that was the language) at the beggining of the movie the guys chacing the dog are screeming that its not really a dog but a “thing”… if you knew the language the movie was ruined from the start…

Not really. They made it clear there was something wrong with that dog…and that dog was a great fucking actor…ie, no scenes with tongue wagging…all scenes involved the dog looking serious as if it weer thinking hard about something along with how it moved).

i just hope they never touch the terminator series… well maybe they can remake the 3rd one… [/quote]
I heard this was actually happening. And maybe they can learn a few lessons and not change the rules of the reality they created, or have the main character survive being impaled by a steel beam through the chest, or for that matter a heart transplant performed in the desert by a veterinarian. I mean Jesus Christ, suspension of disbelief is not unlimited.

Lol…I think, without speaking Norwegian, 99% of the viewing public probably worked out it was no ordinary dog within the first 10 minutes of the film. =P

LOL! I so wish that was a gif with tentacles busting out of it’s face ^^
In fact - that’s my new short project =)
I’m waiting to see that! (tentacle dog that is)
Another remake War Games this could be interesting if done well
Forgot, was watching the Last Starfighter the other day and hat could be amazing if redone. They’d have to turn the arcade angle into a home console angle amongst other things, but it could be badass.

ID this is a great suggestion, another one of my all time favorite westerns. [/quote]
It seems like every suggestion on here but this one, The Thing and of course my suggestion regarding Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (a personal favorite) isn’t a remake but a reDO. If it sucked the first time, why make it a second time?
I do think that there are WAY too many redo’s in Hollywood, but they’ve been remaking movies for years with great success. It just depends on what movie it is that is remade. For instance, I think one of the best remakes to ever come out of Hollywood was A Perfect Murder, which was a great remake of Hitchcock’s Dial “M” For Murder. I think a lot of Hitchcock’s films would make great remakes.
The newer Psycho fucking blew cock, but I think something like Rear Window or Notorious or Shadow of a Doubt, or even North by Northwest would make great films if redone today.
I’ve also thought that A Clockwork Orange would make a really good remake. Then I saw Tom Hardy and his tiny cock in Bronson and realized that I’d basically just seen a cheap rip-off of it. I don’t think there’s a way a director could redo that movie and stylize the violence the way that Kubrick did without coming across as a cheap imitation.

Some of your statement reminds me of a literary masterpiece that I know in my heart would make an amazing film, but I fear would not be pulled off properly. I’m talking about Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” (sorry to derail the thread). The nuance in capturing the comic and tragic aspects of the human condition in that book would be difficult to capture on film without coming across kitschy.
The right director could do it, but I wouldn’t let Spielberg, Burton, or any of the horror genre directors anywhere near it. Maybe David Lynch (seeing what he did with Elephant Man)… or Cronenberg? I just want to see this film made - and done well - before I die.
^ Okay I had heard of that book but never read it. So went online and downloaded to my Nook cost me .95 cents. And its like 58 pages. Thanks ID

If Cronenberg or Lynch did it I think it would come off like a sequal to Naked Lunch, which nobody wants. It was a cool story, but it’d be pretty hard to do right.

Always happy to pass on a classic to a friend (I’ve given many copies of the book away over the years).
I think its impact on me personally may have to do with the situation I was in as a teen. Your experience (especially that of your profession) may bring on a different take.
Let me know how it impacts you.
Thanks!

I agree, and this is what I fear will keep the book from ever going to film.
