Would loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove a Westworld reboot. As a kid, that movie scared the crap out of me, I hated cowboys after that.
Fantasfic 4 movies were crap and yes, Jessica Alba is no Sue Richard, THERE, I SAID IT. She was the weak link in those movies, the movies sucked and what didn't helped is the way they did Doom. He should've been more menacing, not of that skin crap and just be burn and being obscessed with mask or something but he should'v had a better armor and a better character.
Space:1999 was one of my favorite shows when I was young. When the DVD collection of the show was released I bought it. There have been many shows since Space:1999, so I don't think a reboot would work. At the time it was somewhat unique; today it would be just another show.
Done well, a Wonder Woman movie would be great, but it doesn't seem that anyone can get a handle on it. Personally, I think everyone's overthinking the character; stick to the origin story and the costume. Put Rhona Mitra in the costume, have her kick the crap out of bad guys, and I'll go see it.
While I don't think it needs a reboot (the original movie is still good), an Escape from New York rebooted with Gerald Butler would get my movie money.
I'd love to see an Ultraman big-screen adventure. Ultraman and Star Blazers were two of my favorite after school shows when I was young. I was really surprised no one brought it back when the power rangers were really popular.
Westworld is definitely ripe for a remake, but not with Will Smith. The hero of the story should be someone who doesn't look or act heroic. Will Smith doesn't fit the bill for the lead.
As for the Fantastic Four...Keep Thing and Johnny and recast all of the rest. Let's face it, as long as the property resides at Fox we're not going to get an FF movie we want. Fox looks at its properties as cash cows and nothing more. Both FF movies were summer popcorn movies that made a profit for the studio and that's all that matters to Fox.
Everytime they remake a John Carpenter movie they mess it up beyond belief. If they remake Escape I would need a really good script and director to pull it off. They couldn't go the McG route or I guarantee you it would be shit. I'm okay with Butler being Snake but by the time they finally do this movie he'll be too old. I think the guy is early 40's now isn't he?
Westworld is long overdue for a remake and please, no Will Smith in the bad guy role or you'll get another Hancock.
Haven't seen 1999 since I was a kid but I like the premise.
ESCAPE: Yeah, it could be re-done quite well with modern FX but I don't think it's necessary. For me,Kurt Russell iis Plissken. It would be like somebody else doing Indiana Jones. Also, I think of this as one of those 80's remake ideas where they just want to make money off of childhood memories.
WW: Hell yes! Somebody get off their posterior and get this franchise started. Jolie is perfect character-wise but she is always too skinny now.
SPACE 1999: Wow, Wessmith! I didn't know anybody knew or cared about this show nowadays but me. I loved it, especially the first season (Great theme song!). But like UFO,the other British SF show from the same producers, I think there is zero interest in this returning as a moneymaking project.
WESTWORLD: This could be an interesting remake. I'm for it. You need someone iconic to play the Gunslinger though. Don't know who.
FF: I liked the two movies. For me the cast was near perfect. Their chemistry was so good you could put any FF plot idea around them and I'd watch it. But the box office was never great. I know getting rid of rid of director Tim Story, who wasn't that great in telling a great story, would help. I'd like to see them battle the Inhumans next. One super-powered family against the other.
I would rather see another Escape with Russell. I remember some talk of "Escape from Earth," why not?
Fantastic Four- a reboot already? the first two were good. I think the whole super power thing is a bit played right now. A darker fantastic 4? Why not a darker strawberry shortcake?
Westworld- this should be remade (or was it with Jurassic park?). special effects advances could help it, but the characters in Westworld were real people and this needs to be done again (and no a man getting a divorce or being divorced does not automatically bestow upon him "character" status. The insecurities of the heroes is a key -that is going to a place where everything is how you want it and then having the things servicing your desires saying "no." Yul Brenner was the original terminator!
I prefer a wonderwoman with a little meat on her bones. Don't get me wrong, I am not a chubby chaser, but hot ass Angelina is looking a little frail. Wonderwoman comes from a paradise, not a world of famine.
Space 1999 could easily be rebooted as Space 2099 you still keep the name just change the time period, plus you open up the reboot for people who have not seen the original which I'm 29 and I remember only seeing part of an episode on SciFi back in its early days as a network when they were showing all the old bizzare sci-fi shows from the 60s and 70s. I would be interested to see this as a miniseries on SyFy or another network and I think Byrne would be availiable. As for Westworld good luck, it would be cool with current technology, but I wonder if it will ever see the light of day. I would be down with Butler as Snake, but I doubt that movie will ever happen plus the first one was so good, it would be hard to top. The people invovled would really have to work hard to overcome it and not just throw it together like Carpenter did the sequel in 1996 which was wildly subpar.
With the advances in animatronics and cgi fx a Westworld remake would be awesome. In the orignal story they never showed what caused the park's robots to go apeshit. I think a remake should include a disgruntled emplyoee or maybe a cyberterrorist uploads a virus into the main computer causing the chaos.
I agree that I think that the main charcter should be someone who doesn't look the part of a hero. Maybe who won the trip as part of a lottery.
NO MORE REBOOTS!!!!
Seriously -- we're all rebooted out!
Escape from New York should NEVER be remade (Hello? Zombie's Halloween abortion, anyone?)
And Fantastic Four 1 and 2 were close to perfect for that franchise. They got the humor and tone down perfect. All that needs to be done with that franchise is cast a better actress as Sue.
Would really love a west world reboot. I loved that movie as a kid!!! I wouldnt mind seeing Will Smith take over the bad guy robot role. Would be a switch up for him.
