Remake a Movie...

There are gay producers and directors other than Ryan Murphy.

I know there have been a ton of shark movies (some of them decent) but I think a Jaws remake, if done right, would be fun.

Dear Patti, how you would like to get fucked with a meat cleaver?

I'd love yet another remake of the classic Escape To Witch Mountain -but this time actually stick to the book!

"The Color Purple" owns this thread.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a film that could be remade- specifically excluding the mickey Rooney Comedy part.

A remake of The Fan would be fun and Evan Peters would be great casting in the title role. He has that cute but dangerous quality.

It's been done twice already with mixed results, but a new film version of Gypsy that embraces the medium a bit more would be most welcome. Give the lead to Toni Collette and she'd collect every award known to man.

Eyes of Laura Mars could be fun as well, but it looks like that new James Wan movie is already taking a few pages from the film's story already.

Not exactly a remake, but a porn version has been made of Gilligan's Island, so why not a Big Screen movie of the iconic TV comedy? It might be good for a real hoot if done in a sensibly campy fashion with all the right stars.

Breakfast At Tiffany's is a gorgeous movie, so specifically of its moment in Hollywood, mid-sixties. Mickey Rooney and all. A version, also set in the '60's but that really films Capote's dark, sad story could be brilliant. Folks who only know the movie have no idea what a dark gem Capote's book actually is. The only caveat - it cannot be updated, which some fool will want to do. It is a splendid period piece, much like Mad Men, about the mid-60's pre-end of decade, youth revolution.

"The Bonfire of the Vanities" as a 6-episode, high-budget HBO Max production. Spend a fortune to recreate 1980s New York -- not CGI but physically, the way Tarantino recreated Hollywood Boulevard.

Not sure who should play Sherman and Judy McCoy, but Ben Whishaw would be great in the British journalist-snake role ruined by Bruce Willis. Maybe Margot Robbie as Maria.

R2 No. There would be a ton of unnecessary CGI and action scenes.

It's funny you should bring this topic up OP...I was watching Chinatown the other night, and wanted to know other movies John Huston had done. I went to his IMDb page and was reading quotes from him, and found this one:

[quote]There is a willful lemming-like persistence in remaking past successes time after time. They can't make them as good as they are in our memories, but they go on doing them and each time it's a disaster. Why don't we remake some of our bad pictures--I'd love another shot at The Roots of Heaven (1958)--and make them good?

R2 didn't understand the assignment.

As cringeworthy and racist as it is, everything else is so good, it can't be improved upon. So, it should just be left alone. I always fast-forward through the Rooney content.

1961 isn't mid-Sixties.

I'd actually be interested to see this developed.

There's already the ultimate version being planned and it stars Barbra Streisand.

Let's not even attempt to come up with other miniscule efforts.

OP, get a life.

R6-9 only Lindsey Lohan for the Breakfast at Tiffany remake.
