If you could remake any movie

[Leftwich]

Who would you cast?

I'll think about it and post my choice later. I was thinking about this earlier at work with all the re-makes and re-imagining going on.

 

[Villain]

Star Wars Episodes I, II, and III. I would need to change so much more than the cast.

 

[Golden Taters]

I always thought The Butterfly Effect had a very interesting concept for a movie, but could have been executed better. Not sure who I would cast in a remake, though.

 

[Trmszczykowski]

The Dark Knight. Gary Oldman as the Batman. Gary Oldman as the Joker. Gary Oldman would play every single part in the movie by himself.

 

[EmpireWF]

Snake Eyes, sub someone for Nick Cage.

 

[MvP]

I'd probably change my decision after further thinking of the question but off the top of my head...

I remember being VERY disappointed with the Hitman movie. I didn't think it would be anything amazing, but it was worse than expected. So many different great story-lines were available from the Hitman game series that could have been used, the potential was there but they didn't execute.

 

[Maynard]

Star Wars Episodes I, II, and III. I would need to change so much more than the cast.

couldnt you just kill jar jar and anyone who played anakin?

 

[Buzzman]

I'd remake The Strangers.

 

[tigstah]

godfather 3, rewrite story.
matrix 2 and 3, rewrite story
man on a ledge, have dude fall 5 minutes after he took his ass on that ledge. call it man on a ledge, wait nevermind.
batman and robin, recast, rewrite story.

I'd remake From Hell. The comics were so amazing, but they really went on a completely different path with the movie. The comics were dark and made even darker by the insight into the killers mind. The movie was made into a "Who done it?" experience that just didn't work, even with Johnny Depp.

As Abberline, I'd go with Christian Bale, he can handle the serious moments, can show affection towards the prostitutes in the film, and could even do the trippy scenes.

As Mary Kelly, I'd select Amanda Seyfreid. She isn't overly attractive, she isn't meant to be, but she could fulfill the job of 1880's English whore pretty well.

Sir William Gull (aka Jack the Ripper) would be perfect for Willem Defoe. He can be the dark, maniacal Gull while at the same time keeping completely cool and scientific that he was in the books. He might need to add some weight and go grey, but for some reason, he really would be an amazing serial killer role.

Director would either be Zack Snyder or Joss Whedon. Both know how to tell a comic book story. Neither are perfect, both have put out meh movies, but honestly, they do a very good job of sticking to source material and making it interesting. In fact, I'd say Snyder's adaptation of Watchmen was among the most difficult tasks any director has had to do with comic books and I think he completely did it justice, far more than any other Alan Moore comic has received.

I wouldn't allow JarJar or any of his people to be mentioned at all, unless someone had a good idea on how to present his species without looking retarded and goofy. Water Wookies with a better ability to communicate (maybe even slaves or an abused worker caste to the humans on Naboo - that would be more invigorating and complex. The Jedis could be visiting Naboo for the purpose of quelling a revolt...)

Man, Episode 2 just got replayed tonight on Spike and it is fucking terrible. The action scenes are good, really good in fact. But the dialogue and acting in every other scene is just an abortion.

 

[NAHSTE]

Inception.

I wouldn't want to re-make it entirely though, I would just edit it some. Trim it down a smidge. Remove a few unneeded scenes... Maybe delete some characters.

Maybe re-cut it so Ellen Paige doesn't exist, that sort of thing.

 

[dave]

Star Wars Episodes I, II, and III. I would need to change so much more than the cast.

The actors were fine ... George Lucas needs to be replaced as director. Lucas directing scenes, especially emotional love scenes, is like me directing them. Really, George, thanks for Star Wars. Stop writing and directing it. Stick to selling it.

It was in talks a bit ago, but a Major League reboot, with Charlie Sheen in a managing position. It would be great seeing Ricky Vaughn with his temper as he just flips his lid easily. Think he's be good as a movie manager. Wesley Snipes would be back, with Willie Mays Hayes holding a pop culture status, still friendly with Vaughn. IDK who I'd cast in the movie, but I'd love to see Ryan Gosling as a quiet aging minor league pitcher who catches a big break or something like that. Gosling is a baws.

High dreaming.

Red Dawn, because i want to see it modernized lol

 

[Cornelius]

Red Dawn, because i want to see it modernized lol

They are already doing that and I'd remake Citizen Kane because it isn't already considered a masterpiece and really..........fuck movies, who needs them?/sarcasm

I hate that everything is remade. I consider M.Night a clown, but at least the dude is trying to do original shit.

 

[Senser81]

Rocky IV. Replace Dolph Lundgren with Yakov Smirnoff.

The Last Airbender wasn't original and he butchered it. Fuck him.
