The Dark Tower. The books are so good. It definitely does not hold up as a single, standalone movie.
They need to find a way to restore the damaged footage of Event Horizon to make the non-studio-interference version the director intended.
Queen of the Damned/The Vampire Lestat
I know there are people out there who really liked the original planet of the apes movies, but the new ones are phenomenal, one of my favorite movie series of all time
The best example is The Suicide Squad. It’s kinda a sequel but it’s kinda a remake
Spawn. Which i believe we are getting soon
I feel like they did this with Dune
I think Eragon deserves a second chance.
Enders Game.
Dredd. The version with Carl Urban is fantastic.
In time, great potential
John Carter of Mars, anyone?
There’s a gold mine worth of story there.
The Stand
Howard the Duck deserves a proper reintroduction.
In Time.
Great concept and first half of the film.
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Make it 3 parts. Great book.
Cool World.
They can remake that new Napoleon movie
Instead of remaking great movies, they should more regularly rerelease in limited run great films to theaters. Imagine the great widescreen epics in Imax screenings.
World War Z
Does Transylvania 6-5000 count?
Congo
Bonfire of the Vanities
Groundhog Day, but show the original movie
Clan of the Cave Bear
The Golden Compass, Eragon are two that come to mind
Jumper
All the Terminator movies after T2
Water World
Batman & Robin
Push
Velocipastor
Do you hear it Disney, Atlantis and The Black Cauldron are great movies but I wager they would benefit more of a remake than Snow White.
Pretty much all of the video game ones. Case in point the piss poor resident evil movies that had next to fuck all to do with the original game script.
Virus.
Its a movie about a fishing vessel finding a military ship lost at sea that got infected with an alien computer virus from a meteor that fuses flesh and metal together to create a super organism. Eventually trying to connect to the internet to spread across the world. It feels like a mix of the thing, alien, and the matrix. it also reminded me a bit of dead space which was also a remixed mashup of famous scifi. But the movie is just a scifi channel tiered b movie. Based on a short comic of the same premise. I honestly feel with the right director, it could be as big as alien. I thought it was a cool idea.
The Keep (1983) Had everything going for it- good cast that had Scott Glenn, Jurgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, and Ian McKellan. Directed by Michael Mann. Music by Tangerine Dream. The book by F. Paul Wilson was an immediate best seller when it hit the shelves. Any one of those qualifications should make a great film.
The movie was a disaster.
A League of Extraordinary Gentleman
An updated version of would fuckin slap! Loved the original (rip Sean Connery), but I just know a new version would be so good.
Been saying this my entire adult life. Why remake a great movie into a stinker?
