I have been watching some old horror movies, as well as other types, and I was considering what I would do different if I had the chance to do a remake of a movie. For this topic, just pretend you had the resources, funding, equipment. What movie would you remake, what would you do different, or change? Also, what are your thoughts on some remakes you have seen?
I know they are already remaking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with someone....But I wanna remake it with Marilyn Manson as Willy Wonka....
And all the lil Oompa Loompas as like dwarf demons with lil tails and horns..
Maybe in the chocolates they would be putting heroine or something to make all the children who ate them VERY addicted to them. Or amybe they would infuse the chocolates with varying amounts of sin and sinnister behavior..
That to me would be cool...Lotsa other Ideas but I tired of typing.
That is one remake I wanna seeQuote:

Something not trying to be creepy is much more disturbing than something blatently trying to be creepy and disturbing.

that is true, I would however love to see an even creepier, newer version of Willy Wonka, loved the movie as a child. I had heard Johnny Depp was slated for the remake. I think he would do well.Quote:

No offense to Halle Berre, but I hate her in all the movies that she was ever in.Quote:

Day of the Dead is a nice candidate for a remake. Instead of remaking classics such as Psycho and Dawn of the Dead, they should focus on crappier movies that need improvement.
any specifics you would like to see redone? crappy ones that is..and what would you change?Quote:

Not sure what you can really do with that. The remake of Dawn of the Dead was really a completely different movie from the original (not as good though). So I guess scrapping the original story is not quite off limits. How about this: the crew from Dawn of the Dead lands their helicopter at the underground army base. They could have it take place in area 51 or cheyenne mountain; you know, one of those top-secret places. Instead of trying to find a scientific solution to the zombie problem, the army debates nuking all the major cities. Of course the plan would end in failure and the base will fall to the zombies.Quote:

Im with you on day of the dead, but I still think The Gates of Hell was one hell of a movie. A preist commits suicde and opens the gates of hell? Zombies? guts flooding out of a victims mouth? Maybe seeing it now makes it seem cheesy, but I saw it many, many years ago, before a lot of the CGI movies out nowadays, and it scared the hell out of me and about 15 other friends who went to see it. I figure though, that nowadays, people prefer CGI. I dont know thats just me. I will say though that the music from G of H STILL creeps me out...and thanks for the feedback.Quote:

I have no problem with the story or the effects. But the dialogue and acting are pretty incompetent, and there are parts where the movie lags. If you saw it again today I think you'd agree.Quote:

actually your right about that, I have seen it somewhat recently, and it did seem kind of slow, but I still count it as one of my favs. I loved the demonic preist, the girl coming back from the dead and scaring her brother, the woman who dissapeared from her coffin, and with that damn soundtrack going, I still to this day get goosebumps watching it. Thats why its my fav. I like all kinds of movies, esp ones with religious overtones, or posession. (Exorcist) I dont know why, they just spook me. And I wasnt raised in a religious household, actually far from it. Any other movies you really find scary? I love adding films to my collection.. ( I have got 28 days, just got it, another one I havent gotten to watch yet)Quote:

I work a lot, and when I have a day off, I clean my place, run around doing errands, and then Im wiped out for the rest of the night. I am REALLY hoping to check out some of my new movies this weekend. Im looking forward to Suspiria :)Quote:
