Demi Moore for the Robert Redford role!

Or just do this,

So the ending of the movie is going to be when the girl posts a story to her Facebook account about how she got approached for sexual favors, and then the Robert Redford character gets caught up in the #MeToo movement and has to step down from his company?

 

[I Am The Knight]

I love Indecent Proposal. I guess a remake could be fun?

 

[Mandon Knight]

Any sane, loving couple, no matter how short of dosh, would not fall into this kind of scenario. Hope a re-make doesn't come about.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I want Helen Mirren offering 3 million pounds to Emily Blunt for a week with Henry Cavill. Hawt. And classy, cause they're English.

 

[DarkKnight88]

That very well may be the direction where this remake will head.

Or 6 million pounds for Henry Cavill and Emily Blunt.

The only thing I would need Emily for is to clean up the room afterwards.

I feel like these days, there's enough couples out there where this wouldn't be that big of a deal for them.

Which bit ? The money bit or the 'loaning out' bit ? cos if I was with someone, I wouldn't be comfortable with it and if the other person wanted to do it, it says more about the state of the relationship that they'd be comfortable with the act of sleeping with someone else, whether it be a dime or a million than the actual act of being asked in the first place being seen as 'the problem'.

Ok, but that's just you.

It is, but given the emotional nature of the point, one would hope more felt that way but appreciate I'm an old fashioned guy.

I'd pay a million just to watch a menage a trois with those three.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I have no issues with remakes but... Eh, this feels like it's being done just to cash in on unearned nostalgia.

The first film isn't actually good to begin with. Really. It's only remembered because it had an at the time "outrageous" conceit that supposedly pushed boundaries but honestly it's all not that interesting in how it plays out. It just comes down to the viewer being asked "What would you do?" but after that... Yeah it's mostly not too dissimilar from something played late night on Cinemax back in the day. Just a plot to make sex the central selling point of an otherwise unremarkable story.

I honestly can't think of any big wrinkles that a modern version could throw in while remaining a realistic drama.

Well, if you've seen enough of how people are these days, the concept of this film really wouldn't be that big of a deal. At least not big enough to create hype around it like the original film did for itself.

Throw in Sir Patrick Stewart, O.B.E., and you've got yourself a deal.

"Engage!" indeed.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I say reverse it.

Have a movie where Henry Cavill offers Helen Mirren $1 million to sleep with Albert Finney.

Lol, it's Henry Cavill, even Jeff Sessions would volunteer to sleep with him.

At the point of climax - 'make it so'.

Sir Patrick Stewart, wearing his O.B.E. medal and Picard uniform (top only) and Dame Helen Mirren, dressed only in Henry's Superman cape, just going to town on anyone and anything in sight. Let the visual sink in.

Fifty Shades of 'Did you keep the receipt'.

 

[terry78]

Helen Mirren would turn Henry Cavill out. OUT.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Hellen would turn 75% of the male population of the planet OUT.

 

[Teelie]

This is exactly the kind of reaction Hollywood would have to the #metoo movement. Though I do agree with the jokes they will gender flip the couple somehow.
