JMC's Knight assigned Movie to remake is...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (live action)!
I'd stick the the original story as in the comic, but have a serious tone to it. My big pet peeve from the '89 film was that it was trying to be a weird blend of both the animated show and the comic which just didn't work at all. I admit I still enjoy the film but it's more from a nostalgic perspective, with adult eyes I see the big flaws in the movie, but the 6 year old in me doesn't care. That said the big changes I'd do would be the Turtles themselves. Gone are the coloured bandanas, each turtle not only has his own unique costume, but each of them is a different species of turtle entirely, a species that reflects their personality. Leonardo is a King Sea Turtle who's outfit is traditional Japanese attire, Donatello is a Big-Headed Turtle who's outfit is very tech influences with lots of gadgets, Raphael is a Snapping Turtles who very much fights in street clothing, and Michelangelo is a Western Pond Turtle who's outfit is his own superhero design due to his love of comics. The Turtles all would remain the same except Mikey who I've made more like his namesake, he loves creating artwork and being crafty. This change I made was to accommodate a justification for how the Turtle actually get money - via an online custom surfboard store called 'Turtle Wax Customs'. Mikey creates the boards whilst Don manages the site.
Here's a sample of the turtles designs.

Tell us about some of your interests
1. I never look that far ahead because I have no idea what life will throw at me.
2. Josh
3. Don't really feel all that close to anyone, I've had some good debates and discussions with people on here, but I've probably made just as many adversaries lol.
4. Any of the ladies because the position of girlfriend is currently vacant.
5. North-western suburb of Sydney, Australia, about 45min from the city. I kinda like where I am.
6. Batman x 15. Everything else I can read/watch to varying degrees of like/dislike but I don't really have any real emotional attachment to. I do enjoy the occasional Gl, JL, Superman and WW story. Use to be into X-men but fell out of favour with that series.
7. 30 Movies? Yikes, I don't know if I can rattle off 30 because there's so many on the list. I'm ashamed to say I've never seen such films as Schindler's List, The French Connection, or Citizen Kane. If we're talking upcoming films Gravity I'm looking forward to, and pretty much the next 30 movies Jennifer Lawrence is in. lol
8. Interests include art and design, illustration, rugby, soccer, music (I'm a drummer), technology, reading. Pretty standard stuff.
