Filums or series ripe for remakes

[Football Dinosaur]

As above. In the current climate they live would be great for a remake. Got to be others unlike tl which weren't so great first time around we could improve on or that suit timed were in.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Love thy Neighbour

 

[Captain Slackbladder]

The New Statesman would be perfect in today's political climate.

Sadly Rik Mayall is no longer with us.

 

[Jon Dough]

Jaws, could it be done?

 

[RichD]

if it was owt like porridge don't bother...

 

[South Banker Wolf]

Would love to see a new version of Kez.

 

[Drexl]

It ain’t half hot mum set in Peterlee

 

[PTR]

It ain’t half hot mum set in Peterlee

It'd have to be "mam" for starters.

Mind, it could be a show about someone's mam who brings home still-hot pasties from Greggs after her shift. Of course, she gets home on the bus.

 

[Lexingtongue]

None. I'd rather we got more original cinema rather than more half baked remakes and reboots.

 

[Fred Army]

Jaws

No.

 

[Jon Dough]

No.

Nice avatar I guessed not, it's a classic that shouldn't be tampered with

 

[tonyfromalnwick]

Quatermass and the Pit

 

[leecoo]

Warriors

 

[Mabs]

The Dustbinmen.

 

[Bamber]

The Waltons but they all say goodnight on a groupchat and john boy has been cancelled for some dodgy tweets he posted in 2010.

 

[Stevie Freestein II]

Ben Hur featuring an electric scooter race through north London, chased by baddie Labour Party members.

 

[Scorer]

Blake’s 7.

 

[Dark Traveller]

Police Academy

might actually make Mahoney funny second time around....

 

[The Exile]

Jaws, could it be done?

No, Jaws was a unique combination of circumstances. If the shark had worked it would have been a worse film.

Ripe for remakes -

Flash Gordon
Buck Rogers
Highlander

But I wouldn't trust very many people not to fuck them up. Taika Waititi would be great for the first two.

The Meg was basically this with the Statham

Warriors

Could be a documentary way things are over there at the moment!

Talk that they're bringing it back with him as the commendant. Would need all new cast though as most are dead now

Heard Highlander may get a remake - certain classics shouldn't be touched, I'd count that in there. Buck Rodgers has been picked up for both a film and series.

Buck Rogers finally set to return to both the big and small screen: report

The scramble for sci-fi franchises continues.
