Post by: Kotowboy on August 11, 2015, 01:26:48 PM
Remakes ! Reboots ! NEW TIMELINES !!!!11111 AND Sequels!!!!

I actually quite liked Robocop 2014. But Total Recall 2012 was utter pony.

I really hate remakes.   But I have one that I really liked and I feel like I'm the only one.

I really liked Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes movie.    And Tim Roth freakin OWNED that bad guy roll (name slips my mind at the moment...it's late, I'm too tired to look, and it's been a few years since I last watched it).     It's totally apples and oranges to the original, and the new series is better....but as its own entity I thought it was pretty awesome.     (and Helena Bonham Carter is so hot, she even looked good as an ape. lol )

If nothing else, the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes movie gets a huge pass from me for the sole fact that the apes aren't CGI but actual people in costumes. And REALLY well designed costumes at that.

The makeup effects are the only positive I can find with that movie. The fact the other humans could talk made no sense to the premise, and the ending was so predictable.
Thank god they got it right with the new ones. That's a reboot/remake done right, that respected the franchise by doing its own thing.

I've never had a problem with the idea of remakes or reboots since we still have the originals, and even making 2 remakes doesn't remove the quality of the original. With that said, few remakes actually turn out good though. One remake that I like that I can think of is Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. A really good movie.

I thought that the movie version of Red Dragon was better than Manhunter.  It had a much deeper cast (Norton, Hopkins, P.S. Hoffman, Keitel, Fiennes, etc., compared to Peterson, Cox, no-name, Farina, and no-name) and an ending closer to the novel's.  Yet for some reason, critics love Manhunter and give Red Dragon middling reviews.

Well, there WAS a King Kong vs. Godzilla film in the 60s, but I sincerely doubt this rumored new one will be a remake of that one.  Because it completely sucked.

The idea of it was much better than the film itself.

Also, if they go with the current US film incarnation of Godzilla, they will have to give Kong some serious steroids, or it will be closer to this classic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-wUdetAAlY).

I had to bring this to the intrawebz.

I saw the trailer for Point Break, and thought, "Who's playing P Swayz? What's next, remake Road House?" If they remade Road House, should the same guy get the role? With all the remakes and reboots, multiple movies from the same actor/actress are inevitable. Should the same person just take over?

First Predator is a classic! Would definitely be up there among the best action films ever, in my top 5 at least. (The only 3 I could think of that I would rate higher would be Terminator 2, Die Hard & The Matrix) The second one is alright but not as good as the first obviously. Substituting Arnold for Danny Glover feels a bit eh, it has some redeemable qualities, but overall the biggest strength of the original, the isolation, fear of the unknown is completely gone, and by setting the sequel in the middle of a big city, you kinda lose that. The AvP films were not good, and I didn't really care much for the Predators reboot/sequel with Brody.

Really hyped for the sequel since Shane Black is attached to direct it.

I might be biased since Arnold is somewhat of a childhood hero and someone I still look up to in many ways, but Total Recall is another classic. If I had to rank his films, I'd probably put both of them in his top3 after T2.

Then all the promo pics i've seen are all the leads in really sexual poses.

So it's clearly just to get up people's noses when they could have made their own film with the same cast.

I have faith in the cast and Director, Paul Feig, on this one. His track record is great and the concept is a proven winner. I think it will be excellent, but totally different than the original. The major difference (besides the sex of the characters) will be the pace and action. The original movie had tons of dialogue that took time to set up the ghostbusters and had little action before the final scene. This movie looks like the 2010's super hero version of the original. The jokes will be there, but the action will be over-the-top and often.

You can't live life like that John.  Sure it's not as good but it's still not bad.  The story line is a little out there but so was the first one.  Like Hef said it's not as good as the other 3 but it's still good.

I just thought it wasn't worth the effort to make a fourth film if THAT was the fucking fourth film we got.

Yeah, it's OK, I guess, but it's so much less than the first three I didn't see the point.

I'll take LaBouf swinging with monkeys and bad Russian accents over "MR. JONES MR. JONES" and an annoying woman screaming and whining in every scene she's in.

The biggest problem with Crystal Skull is that it's boring, and that's still better than annoying. The Temple of Doom is pretty boring too though.

Eh, I didn't put any effort into making it, so what the heck. Then again, while I like the first three, I didn't grow up watching them or anything, so they don't mean as much to me as they seem to do to some people.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a fun time.  The characters are older, but they joke about it.  The callbacks make sense, and fit the story.  And I for one didn't have any problem with the story.  It's outrageous and ridiculous, as it should be in an Indiana Jones movie.  Aliens?  Cool.  If people didn't have trouble with a magic box that could melt the faces off of Nazis, why have a problem with aliens?

Ben-Hur is one of my favorite movies.  I jumped on the Extra Special Collector's Edition Blu-ray or whatever they call it, and I'm glad I did.  Every once in a while, I pull it out and watch the chariot race in Extrasuperfuckingwidevision.  It's glorious.

That said, after watching it all the way through once, I probably won't again, at least for a while.  I'd forgotten how "epic" the movie really is.  There's a lot of story, a lot of setup for the initial conflict between Judah and Messala, the slave years, the battle at sea, the escape, the redemption, the chariot race...  It's a huge movie, and if someone has decided to trim it down a bit, then that's not necessarily a bad idea.  From the trailer, you can see that they've kept all of the key plot points, and at least a passing reference to the Christian angle (remember that the full title of both the book and the movie is "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ"), so I'm not writing this off quite yet.

Also, remember that the epic 1959 version with Charleton Heston was a remake as well.  Lew Wallace did the screenplay for both the 1959 version and the original 1925 version.

Well, this is interesting. It is my favorite book of all time, I read it at a very pivotal period in my life, and it has stuck wit me ever since. I thought the miniseries was decent, for a miniseries. It was well cast all around. Though it didn't feel right in places. I like the idea of the two movies, but It works best because it balances the narratives of the 7 as kids and as adults so well. I wonder how well the story can be told if it focuses first on them as kids and then as adults. Makes me think of watching Godfather pt 2 chronologically. It isn't as good of a narrative.

Quote
Isn't it time for women to get their own original scripts?

Just imagine what that would be like! Instead of just reusing old all-male material for today's female actors, think what the world could be like if writers and directors were making brand new movies for women. It would be a world full of Bridesmaids. Or a world full of The Heat. That is a world we'd like to live in.

Ok so the second half of that paragraph just shows how insane this writer is, but her point is still valid. Of course, that means studios will have to take a chance on something new, which they are loathe to do.

I agree with the basic points they make about female (and male) casts. That said, having not seen any of the other movies in this franchise, I don't have a problem with this idea, I just think it's bad timing coming off the heels of the Ghostbusters thing. Or maybe that wasn't a coincidence.

Yeah, this. I'd like for them to stop trying to bank on famous titles and make new movies. Make a movie about a group of women robbing a bank or casino or something? Fine, great, do it. But call it "Ocean's"? Now suddenly I have a problem with it.

They're screwed either way.  If they make a heist film with a large cast, it will ultimately be compared to the "Ocean's" films.  People will say that they just copied those films and remade them with an all female cast.  They might get minor props for not calling it a remake, but will lose points for copying the concept.

One problem filmmakers face is that movies have been around for a long time now, and it's hard to come up with completely new, original ideas for films.  Not films that have a pretty good chance of making big bucks anyway.  Independent films with new and unusual premises come out all the time, but how many do you hear about?  How many get big-studio releases?

I'm not saying it doesn't happen.  Inception was a pretty wacky concept.  What Dreams May Come, although that's a bit older even now.  I'm just trying to think of films that really made me think "Wow, that's different."  It doesn't happen a lot.

Universal is going to remake Scarface...again! This could be good if it does what Brian de Palma's remake did in the 80s and reflect the time that it is being made. The original Howard Hawks film reflected the Prohibition era in Chicago with an Italian mob boss. De Palma's 80's remake with Pacino is the most famous one, which was set in Miami, and instead of alcohol, it was cocaine!

The new remake is supposed to set in LA and made by Training Day director Antione Fuqua, who is a hit or miss for me. I think everyone has in their head that the character is going to be Tony Montana, but I really hope it isn't. There could be gang member from Compton or a Mexican drug lord in LA named Tony that can continue the "Rise and Fall" aspect of its predecessors.

I don't have a problem - and I don't think anyone should have a problem - with them making an female-led Ocean's film if it's a spin-off or sequel or whatever. The thing that irritated me about Ghostbusters was that it was a remake. Why? Why couldn't they tell a new story, set some years after the originals, with a group of new characters? Why tell the original story but change the men to women? That's lazy, whereas writing a new story set in that same franchise/fictional universe is entirely legit in my opinion.

So far, it's not clear which Ocean's Eight will be. If it's essentially a sequel, then I'm absolutely fine with that. If they go all Ghostbusters and essentially remake the original, then that's just dumb.

So far, it's not clear which Ocean's Eight will be. If it's essentially a sequel, then I'm absolutely fine with that. If they go all Ghostbusters and essentially remake the original, then that's just dumb.

I actually agree with this. Someone I subscribe to on Youtube re-pitched the new Ghostbusters movie where the main women were like the daughters of the original crew. There was more to it than that, but it actually sounded interesting.

Ghostbusters 2016 would have had less uproar I think if it was Ghostbusters 3 and the opening was the remaining original cast retiring and handing it over to the new cast.

Just flat out re-doing the first movie with new people is stupid. WHOEVER is in the cast.

OR

You have the same 4 female leads and make your own brand new IP.

There's a new Blair Witch coming out in September?

https://youtu.be/girSv9UH_V8

Yes! I am so stoked about this. I've been a huge fan of these movies, even the pointless, yet entertaining, second movie. I became a bit obsessed with the movies. Years back I met a few people from the Blair Witch forums at the filming locations. We actually spent a night in the woods there. Even though it's completely fictional, the aura surrounding the films was enough to plant the seed to make the night a sleepless one.

Yeah, something like that, or a group of women discovering what the original cast had done and taking it on themselves. There are loads of ways they could have done it. When the first trailer (I think) landed, it made it seem like that was how it was being done as made reference to the original crew "30 years ago". Turns out it was just talking about the original film, which is really dumb for a trailer.

Do you mean the fan short film that was shown a year ago where they made a gritty unrecognizable thing that was called Power Rangers? Or do you mean the Hollywood reboot movie that they revealed months ago?
Basically they're doing what every other Hollywood movie is doing, and just turning it into gritty Batman/Ironman. Power Rangers without the cheese isn't even Power Rangers.

It just looks too serious from what I've seen/heard so far, with little connection to the original show. You can make something less silly without making it all gritty and losing the fun. Marvel manages to do it.
I'm just over Hollywood watering everything down to be the same movie these days. Why bother rebooting something if you're not going to utilize any of what made it unique and appealing to people in the first place?

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it - if as a writer/director you see unutilised potential in something then remaking/rebooting it in a way that fits your vision can work well (Battlestar Galactica is the perfect example of this).

I'm not saying that's what I expect in any way from Power Rangers. :lol Just saying that the situation itself isn't inherently bad.

Certainly there are reboots that take something that perhaps didn't reach its full potential the first time, and become something better, but those are rare imo. In principle there's no reason it can't work though.
But most reboots are just lazy cash-ins by studios where they'll take something 100% for name recognition, then repackage it into familiar and generic Hollywood fare in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience, but without the key elements that made them appeal to audiences in the first place. It's purely about money.

The Fly with Jeff Goldblum was a remake but apparently only kept the fact that he became a fly from the original movie.

That's the best kind of remake. Just keep the DNA of the original and make everything else your own.
Title: Re: The Remake Reboot SEQUELZ Thread v Caddyshack III MegaloLZ
Post by: BlobVanDam on August 24, 2016, 04:24:07 AM
It comes down to how/why it's done. The new Planet of the Apes movies are another example of doing it right. They've done something new with it, been respectful to the original, and had thought put into them. Compare it to the Tim Burton remake, which was completely soulless, and was an empty movie that missed the mark.

The difference is remaking/rebooting something for an idea, rather than for a name. I wouldn't say the original version of The Fly was really a hugely popular thing by the time they remade it, unlike Ghostbusters which is still beloved today, but a man turning into a fly from an experiment gone wrong is an interesting idea, and didn't have a lot of other elements to capture or lose in the process (I've seen the original, but not the '80s one, strangely enough).

I'm now feeling an itch to rank the best reboots/remakes, DTF style.

Ironically we probably will get a The Fly remake....

Directed by some no name director who directed one moderately successful jump-scare teen horror ...

This time the Fly will be a slasher / stalker and a group of teens stumble across his lab in the woods.

Oh God it's going to happen.





I thought RoboCop 2014 had some good ideas and did something different with it. it's a shame the studio so clearly interfered and just filled it with pointless inconsequential action.

The action in RoboCop 2014 was the worst part. It was the man V machine stuff that was interesting and should have been explored more.

Stupid Studios.

imo Robocop was the perfect example of an empty remake just for name recognition, that lacked any of defining characteristics about the original. It was yet another Batman/Iron Man/Transformers inspired dude in a watered down PG13 action movie that will be quickly forgotten. The original Robocop had satire, it had extreme violence, it had personality, things that could have set a remake apart from other modern movies.

I haven't seen the new Total Recall and don't want to. The original is perfection.
I didn't feel like the reboot Robocop brought anything new to it. To me it was mostly a watered down family friendly version of the original, and I felt like including the original suit for a short while was crapping on the original more than honoring it. If they'd done it more in the style of the recent Dredd movie, it could have been way better.

From what I read, they are not trying to straight up reboot Rambo: First Blood, but rather use the Rambo character to springboard a new franchise. I rather they do what they did with Mad Max: Fury Road, and just continue the existing franchise with a new actor (although that might be hard to do since Stallone had really aged in the last film)

Oh I didn't know he directed anything. I haven't seen Chronicle, but since so many movies are blatantly ripping it off, it must have had some good stuff.

Also didn't see American Ultra (just hard to motivate me to watch an Eisenberg movie) but I did see Mr. Right, which he wrote, which was hilarious and amazing. And I've seen him on certain youtube channels a lot, often pitching movies, making it all up on the spot, and the dude has talent. At least as a writer.

He did an interview for RLM and he said that in Hollywood - you can write a great script but it will go thru many un-credited rewrites before it ends up on screen.

So you can get blamed for a lousy script for which you are credited but is nothing like what you originally wrote.

My friend's dad went through the same thing with the movie Hollywoodland. He wrote it more about George Reeves but the studio took the script it turned it into a movie centered more on the detective which had a lot of parts written by another writer.

On the opposite end he also had his name put on a movie that he was brought into salvage and with his rewrite they ended up crediting him as a lead writer even though he was just there to save a movie there was no hope in saving.

Bottom line is being a lesser known screenwriter in Hollywood seems to be miserable.

That's different.  She had the idea for the story, and decided the story needed to be told on film.  So that's happening.

With Cursed Child, she felt that needed to be a play, so that's what it is.  If she doesn't want it to be a film, it won't be, and money won't be a tempter to change her mind, because she already has all the money in the world.

Jeff Goldblum in anything makes that thing better.


He's an odd one.  Interesting actor who plays interesting roles.   But in real life he is a absolute bore (from the couple of interviews I've seen anyway).

Fine by me. I'm a bit tired of actors going on chat shows and trying to be the life of the party.

And yes - Jeff was the best thing about Independence Day 2.

I wrote a movie script and pictured one of the main characters as him. I wonder if he would play the role...

If not you can always get Nic Cage.

Cannonball Run to be re-booted.

Why?

I know I'm probably missing something really obvious here, and will accordingly be shot down in flames (a fate I accept) but depict all the recent remakes I'm really, really struggling to think of the last genuine successful one (both critical and commercial)....'True Grit' maybe?

I suppose the new Planet of the Apes movies have done pretty well. I guess they're only sort of reboots though.

Nolan's Batman trilogy? It's hard to know what counts.

That's a interesting one for sure (great films too).  I'd say Tim Burton's Ape movie was more of a traditional remake, telling pretty much the same story.  The new one's aren't really remakes, do you think?  Coming at the story from a completely different angle.

I wouldn't call the Planet of the Apes movies remakes, but a reboot of the franchise, possibly even prequels, depending on where they lead. That's why I think they work so well, because they're covering a lot of new ground with it, rather than stepping on the toes of the original(s).

As much as I love this cast (with the exception of Beyonce), I really don't get why this is getting remade (other than it being a cash cow).

Yeah, the funny thing is Disney is calling this a "live action" movie. I'm guessing, no. It will be a CGI fest like the Jungle Book.

I thought the Jungle Book was amazing. Apparently the opening scene was shown at Comic-Con I think and it was supposedly freaking amazing.

I'm not familiar with the Jungle Book. Is this new LK movie going to be animated like Toy Story or animated like Avatar? Lion King with photo-realistic CGI could be kind of cool actually.

First of all, I don't know why they'd even bother remaking a relatively recent classic like The Lion King. Secondly, why live action? That's dumb. Just make it a CG animated movie, if you're going to do it, which they shouldn't, because it's dumb.

Animated like Avatar...kinda. Here's the trailer for Jungle Book from 2016, I'm guessing it will be like this.

I don't see the point of it being "live action" when there are only animal characters that will have to be CG anyway, and presumably no humans.

Exactly! With no human characters, a "live action" Lion King just doesn't make sense... to me.

Maybe it'll be The Lion King with humans.

According to the announcement I saw, the cast was hired as voice actors. :dunno:

I guess we'll see.

It'll be more realistic looking. Like how The Jungle Books animals were.

I don't know how it'll be, but I'll still check it out.

I just saw the trailers for Suspiria and the new Halloween movie.

I quite liked the suspiria one. The original is one of my favorite movies so I was very dismissive of this remake at first but the trailer got me interested. It looks stylish and well made in a different way than the original. Looks like they've really done a lot to put a new twist on it instead of copying or making it one of those in name only remakes like Prom Night was. I'm really curious to see how this comes out.

The halloween trailer was interesting. Not sure how I feel about them rebooting the series a second time and with even part 2 being erased with continuity. Looks like some real effort went into this one and I'm going to go into it with low expectations and hope for the best. It's one of those movies that's either going to be surprisingly good or end up being a pile of hot garbage.

So they're remaking Child's Play and this time the doll won't be possessed, its programming will be hacked and it will be able to learn quickly.

And everyone will forget about it in a month like the Poltergeist remake.

New trailer for the Pet Sematary remake on YouTube. Looks like it is made by the same guy who makes 80% of the drama/suspense/horror film trailers. Otherwise looks totally forgettable. Not a fan of the original, so not much to live up to at least.

Also saw there is a remake of Clue in the works. That is 1 plus 1 plus 2 plus 1 goddamn stupid ideas wrapped in to one.

Today's news, then, is something of a shock: according to Deadline, Murphy has signed on to headline a sequel to 1988's Coming to America. The film will be directed by Craig Brewer, who just finished working with Murphy on Netflix's Dolemite Is My Name, which is expected to arrive later this year.
