On a vaguely related note, why aren't we making more movies that take a Shakespeare plot and just stuff it in a different setting without trying to hide it? Like 10 Things I Hate about you was Taming of the Shrew.
Tell me you wouldn't watch Mechbeth.
Macbeth... IN SPAAAAAAACE!!!!!
What about remaking foreign movies into domestic interpretations? La Pacte des loups could use an update.
This only works on like mid movies, maybe. You can't do it with a film like Plan 9 from Outer Space or The Room because the jank is part of the appeal. But maybe an actually good version of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? Sucker Punch, but with a better director?
There is no saving Sucker Punch. The fundamental premise of the movie is each rape is a fight scene showing a literal interpretation of a metaphorical struggle. It's not recoverable.
Uh, they remade The Room starring Bob Odenkirk.
They knew how to do this in the 80s. Little Shop of Horrors, The Fly, and The Thing for example. All remakes that far surpassed the cheesy originals.
The 80s version of The Blob is terrifying.
How many more versions of Tron do we need?
One more.
Tron Reboot, fuck yeah make it happen!
Keep em coming. Tron: Legacy is my all time favourite.
Do you want Fantastic Four? That's how you get Fantastic Four
[raises hand] which Fantastic Four... Last I counter there were like five... I think... I lost count.
Do waterworld again!
Is it a flop? I thought it's good from recent viewing, no nostalgia involved because i never watched it back then. Wouldn't mind for another one in that setting though.
It was the most expensive movie ever made at the time, which attracted a lot of criticism. It made a profit though.
I think the movie is amazing, but it was generally panned as an expensive flop. I think the setting is really interesting and the practical effects were out of this world
Pink Flamingos - Sausage Supreme
IYKYK
Interesting. Who plays Divine/Babs?
I want a remake of Tetsuo!
The shaky can of this movie makes me nauseous :(
Airplane!
Airplane is a remake of Zero Hour, which itself is a remake of Flight Into Danger. I don’t think we could take another level of remakeception. It would probably turn out to be a musical.
Surely you can’t be serious‽
Absolutely not
Surely you must be joking. That would be awful.
