Really, Dune?? I lost a couple hours of my life on that movie that I will never get back. Wonder around the desert, then, wonder around the desert a little more, the end. It was horrible.

At least spell your main gripe correctly, sheesh.

Definitely thought it was better than the original. I thought part 1 dragged a bit, but it left me wanting to see part 2. Waiting until it comes out on streaming.

None.

Come up with new ideas and characters instead of drafting off the effort of previous creators.

The Original was never finished; David Lynch's was the 2nd attemp

Word on the street is that Cameron had a new Fantastic Voyage in the works

Also a rumor of a JJ Abrams remake of Krull. Which was arguably much worse than the original Dune.

Dunkirk, Schindler's List, The Pianist, and Enemy at the Gates are all rebooting in 2025. I hope to read your reviews for all of them.

In Time. Interesting concept and Timberlake wasn’t terrible, but the movie fell kind of flat for me.

I’m usually anti-remake, but I think the Soderbergh version of Oceans 11 was much better than the original.

I look forward to a reboot of Enemy at the Gates. The Russian sniper with the heavy English accent was hard to overcome. I enjoyed the movie because I love those old sniper rifles. I've owned a Mosin 91/30, just not the sweet scoped sniper.

I read somewhere A Clockwork Orange is getting remade by Guy Ritchie.

Those all seems like really odd choices, wasn't Dunkirk only out a few years ago?

I'd like to see them remake movies that had a good concept but could have had better execution.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief comes to mine.
I really enjoyed the books, but man, the movie was terrible.

I also thought Passengers had an interesting premise, but somehow the movie fell flat.

Just trolling slowguy. Apparently he hates WWII vets. Weird for a navy guy, right?

That makes more sense.

D'Kid watched the rebooted series on Disney+ and thought it was vastly superior

I am mostly in agreement with slowguy. I'd much prefer new material. However, it also seems fun to respond to the asked question.

I don't think rebooting a classic movie, a cult classic, anything from a 'top ten' director or top 'A-list' actor is a wise idea. It's unlikely to be done any better than this first time. A little surprised Guy Ritchie would try and reboot a Kubrick.

I am thinking a reboot candidate is a decent movie from the past that just can't stand the test of time. A movie I enjoyed, but I know my kids would not.

One that comes to mind is 'The Big Chill'. Reboot with a modern ensemble cast and current awesome soundtrack. It's likely I would not like the movie, but a younger generation may.

I don't think Guy Ritchie (or anyone) doing a new version of A Clockwork Orange would be trying to redo Kubrick, but taking a newer look at the novel, instead

I wouldn't particularly call any new release of a movie based on Frankenstein, Dracula, Pride & Prejudice, or Emma a "reboot"

YMMV

I think we need to stop remaking good movies, and instead remain crappy movies that should have been good.

My vote goes to Star Wars episodes 1, 2, 3, 8, & 9.

Suffer Well.

Star Wars came to my mind. I think some small changes could make the sequels pretty good. The book version for Revenge of the Sith was really good. Much better than the movie. With all the good EU novels (like the Thrawn trilogy) they could have made the stories so much better.

As for other ones that come to mind. I think the ideas behind Waterworld and Stargate were good…but the execution less so.

X 2, although I wouldn't mind a Matrix prequel, like about the era AI begins to take over. Or even something not even related to the Matrix, but around the time that we lose control of AI (or the machines). Maybe we already have? The Terminator movies touched on that theme too, but perhaps were a little too far ahead. Something more to do with internet and device addiction, algorythm related and then shit hits the fan. Would be like Space Odyssey 2001, but on Earth and no one really knowing who was in control. Just total chaos.

I would like to see a sequel to Fight Club though. Perhaps where Norton's character has a mid-life crisis and Tyler Durden enters the picture again. I'm aware of Palahniuk continuing the series in comic book form, but still.

Koyaanisqatsi could be remade too, but it would be an entirely different movie. Doesn't count I guess. Truman Show could be better done I think. Something Wild.
