And in all seriousness has there been one good remake of anything so far?

total recall was decent, as long as you viewed it as a different movie and not a remake. Also does the dark knight trilogy count as a remake?

I find comic book movies hard to call remakes. Since they have alternative "definitive" source material. I know total recall and other SF were ripped from short stories and novella, but were really made into their own IP.

I'm not a huge american comic book buff, but didnt the new batman movies run off one of the many versions of batman? Whereas the older ones basically didnt pay heed to the comics at all really, more to the adam west TV show?

If im wrong on all these points then i stand corrected, but thats what ive been able to discern based upon some of my american friends who are / were big comic book buffs.

I'm a 2000AD and Dan Dare man myself.

They're making a trilogy?

That's like, three times as bad as one!

But yeah, it's pretty sickening how they keep desecrating these old legends. Everything's allowed in war and love ...and business, it seems.

Yup. I've avoided linking stories about this production as it is obviously just a money-grab. That's all it is.

At least the upcoming Mad Max Trilogy is miraculously being done, 30 years on, by the exact same people, screenwriters, director, etc.

It's not SF of course, but the Coen Brother's "True Grit" is vastly superior to the John Wayne original. Uses the original scathing vocabulary from the novel instead of translating everything into Wayne-Speak for starters.

Soderbergh's 3 "Ocean" movies are vastly superior to the original now sad-seeming Rat Pack original.

"John Carpenter's The Thing" is vastly superior to the original 1950's film. (Same with Philip KAufman's 1978 "Invasion of the Body Snatchers")

And the Jeff Goldblum/ Geena Davis "The Fly".

But these are extremely unique and rarefied circumstances.

Why do I get the feeling that this reboot trilogy will have about as much of a positive impact as that one trilogy which Jar Jar Binks was a part of ?

It's strictly a cash grab. I for one am not looking forward to watching an Aging Arnold shuffle his way through this. Besides, he ruined any possible chance of the True Lies sequel by running for political office, which honestly turned out to be a huge, huge massive mistake.

And he also creeped out a lot of folks, not just by "sleeping with The Help", but sleeping with The Help in the very same Marriage Bed, for lack of a better word.

Would be funny if that kind of stuff were still career killing. Maybe it did. There are a lot of other actors involved in the Expendables series besides him.

It's rather depressing the number of remakes Hollywood is cranking out lately. This, Robocop, etc etc.... it's like there isn't an original thought at all any more.

Better they remake there own movies than destroy world cinema because Americans can't enjoy a film that isn't American.

Same goes for all the British comedy that the US has tried to copy recently.

Get ready for yet another take on Peter Pan next year called "Pan". Ugh. Anyone excited ??

I think The Thing was a good remake. I have not seen the latest movie from 2011. I believe it is supposed to be a prequel Ugh

House on Haunted Hill was pretty good.

The Money Pit was a good dark comedy remake.

I enjoyed the newest The Time Machine

Thirteen ghosts was as good if not better than the original primarily for them utilizing new filming techniques to added tension to their horror scenes.



A couple foreign film English word adaptations that are real good.

The Scent of a Women

The Magnificent Seven

Reminds me of my post last week in another thread where I noted there have been 12 production in both film and TV of "Great Expectations" since 1989 Ugh

Discovered that "True Lies" is actually a remake of a French film called "La Totale!".

Creepiest fictional remake is within the David Lynch film "INLAND EMPIRE", where they are making a film called "On High in Blue Tomorrows", and later on the cast finds out it's actually a remake of an unfinished German film called "Vier Sieben" (47), whose two leads...were murdered !!! ("We would never have signed up for a remake!")

It's the catalyst for what happens in the rest of the film, and surely an observed analysis of the filmmaking process itself from Lynch's perspective.
