We all hate remakes, but sometimes maybe a remake could work?

There are a few movies with a great premise but terrible execution that could be remade without bothering me too much.

Watching The Running Man and - charming 80s'isms aside - there is a much better movie in there somewhere.

But I'm sure modern Hollywood would just screw it up.

Won't have to wait too long for the remake amigo.

I feel like Burt created this thread solely to shit on the new Running Man remake.

Classic Burt.

A Deliverance remake by S Craig Zahler

I'm surprised it doesn't star The Rock.

But I have to admit, Edgar Wright is a perfect choice.

Probably Nightmare On Elm Street again....i used to think Mike Flanagan was perfect, he even wrote a treatment i think but he become kinda bland and i want a very fucked up Freddy.

I also think that they have never really nailed Nightmare on Elm Street.

The prequel star wars trilogy with significant re-rewriting, fat trimming, and reduction in tax debates.

I'd love to see a version of The Shining that retains the humanity that Stephen King wrote into the story.

And I've always wanted to like Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, but I'm often distracted by the immaturization of all the hobbits. In the movie they come across almost like children when in the books they're far more mature. It's a pretty huge swing and miss, all things considered.

Not even the first one?

Did you see the TV mini-series King wrote?

I'll be real here.... Tyler Perry's Madea's Fire Walk With Me is a movie I would watch.

Damn! I picked him figuring you’d hate that idea!

You win this round, epilogue…,

I will say the remake of Roadhouse was a lot better than i expected. I am not sure if it is better than the first but it just as good
