Other than that there have been announcements of Starman(?), Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, and Escape from New York remakes. Whatever kicks a little money to Carpenter while he tokes up, plays video games, and watches basketball, I guess.

See, these were the films I was talking about. I know they did Precinct 13, The Thing, and Halloween, but I forgot about The Fog which sucked butt poo poo lol. Precinct 13 was okay, saw the ‘11 Thing once and barely remember doing so, and never cared for the Halloween franchise enough to bother with Rob Zombie’s films.

Welp, that probably means Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness are looming on the horizon :sigh:

If Christine were remade today, it’d be a boring ‘90s car like a Chevy Cavalier or Ford Taurus. Did Christine wrong? Don’t go walking alone at night because you might just hear Ace of Base or Hootie & the Blowfish from a distant car radio before losing your life.

Don’t you dare put a remake of PRINCE OF DARKNESS into the universe. They’d make it huge and epic and gently caress up the entire “claustrophobic, tiny battle with endless stakes” nightmare atmosphere that made it so effective. I suspect IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS might make it through the Hollywood machine more intact, but I still don’t want to take that chance.

which beloved work of something or other would push you to finally detach yourself from reality? What is your most precious IP?

I’d say the Simpsons but that’s like, a league of its own.

Back to the future. Most of the jokes are about excessive smartphones & social media usage. There is an avocado joke where some grumpy 90s dad asks what that is. Someone complains about Marty's work ethics and him having tattoos. There will be huge a RL social media outrage about Doc Brown being played by a black actor. A nazi incel will do a mass shooting at the cinema premiere, 14 people dead, 8 wounded(3 of which in critical condition). Trump will post on alt-twitter about it

If they reboot Anachronox without Tom Hall or any of the original writers at the helm then I will be very sad.

It could actually benefit from a reboot since it was unfinished at launch, but if they pull a Prey and just put out some generic sub-Whedon sci-fi poo poo under the same name then so help me I will poo poo up every semi-related thread on this godforsaken site

Gremlins and/or Gremlins 2: The New Batch. You know they’re gonna be boring CGI if that happens.

Clue: The Movie. You can’t improve on an already perfect ensemble cast. The humor and charm would be lost.

John Carpenter’s films. Just… no. Please leave those alone, Hollywood.

Any of various Clint Eastwood movies. They don't dare while the man is still alive.

Both Dollar movies could easily be redone. Good stories but a lot of the production values could easily be updated and Clint Eastwood is a garbage man so who gives a poo poo about his legacy.

there is no way harry potter doesn’t get a reboot in the next decade, i can’t think of a more lucrative thing to sell to late millennial/early genz parents and their kids.

what could even come close in cultural reach? spongebob? minecraft? pretty sure HP is gonna end up more valuable than star wars.

Great.

Buckaroo Banzai will be remade into a terrible Netflix miniseries in my time.

But there's an outside chance they'll make the "versus the world crime syndicate" sequel movie and it'll merely be forgettable, which, other than nothing at all, is the best we can hope for.

Click bait articles will be made in response to the reboot complaining that, although its inclusivity is up to date, it is woefully behind the times in its uncritical portrayal of geopolitics and capitalism, and that Banzai himself is a self serving elitist with an outsized carob footprint.

E: that's right, a carob footprint

There is already a modern remake of Groundhog Day with Tom Cruise. It had power armor and aliens in it IIRC. Can't recall the name
