...Il go watch the remake and try to keep an open mind.

I think if they decide to make it a martial arts thing again then they will be up against it.
 
There's definately a load of video game remakes I'd love to see. I'm dying for a FPS Aliens game on the level of Bioshock.
 
Thats is the 1 first one on my wish list: and I want Peter jackson to direct it

None of them.
 
Don't fix what's not broken.


No more damn remakes! :mad:
 
Instead of remaking classics, they should just rerelease them back into the theatres. I'd rather see the original Jaws on the big screen than a remake.

I would like to see him direct it as well but rely a little less on cg, try to use more physical effects like with the orcs. Gollum was done very well same with many of the other creatures but I think it would feel more real if not every character was CG.

Its not a bad idea but many theatres in my area have done that in the past with several films usually on sat nights but they never drew crowds large enough to fill the theaters to even half capacity, Im sure it would be like that else where too. I think the only films that really pulled that off was Star wars when it was remastered and new scenes added.
 
Well, one of the movie theatres in Memphis, The Orpheum, has a classic movie series during the summer. They get a good turnout.

That theatre also shows Broadway musicals, plays, concerts, and operas with the occasional ballet.

The reason for that is lack of advertising. They could put trailers on television and market and advertise it like they would a new release. If they did that they might draw larger crowds and the cost of advertising is a whole hell of a lot cheaper than making a new film from scratch. After making back what they spend on advertising, everything else wold be pure profit. Might work out.
 
I don't think any of the multiplexes would do that. If a city has an old movie theatre that's in good condition to hold people, it'd be perfect.

Ok yea for the kraken CG would be better forgot about him, but for Medusa you can blend human and cg such as with Davey Jones in pirates.

The might is a pretty big chance thought thats the only thing that sucks, but it would be cool to see older flicks in theaters again. Theatres prob would need to drop the ticket prices for older movies though.
 
You asked the question, I gave my answer. If you don't like it

There was no "none of the above" box to check in the poll so it looked like you were asking your own question and you had nothing under your quote. If you were quoting me use the quote codes so it's clear. -Tripod

I don't know how that would work. I think theatres make their money off of nine dollar sodas and tubs of popcorn. The studios make money off of the tickets, so I don't know if a theatre can just drop the price. But I don't care. I'd pay full price to see some of the good stuff up there on the big screen.
 
Clash of the titans, or Jason and the argonauts. I'd love to see one of them remade, I can see peter jackson directing one of those. making it lord of the rings/king kong quality would be amazing.

Escape from newyork and The day the earth stood still would be great also for a remake
 
I saw Jason and The Argonauts in mythology class in high school. I thought it was ok. It was a helluva lot better than Clash of The Titans. My teacher didn't even bother with that one

Oh i just ment that as to get people to see them, mainly because people could pay less to rent the movie and watch it from home a lot cheaper. So it seems like with the older movie they would need to entice people to come back and see them again.
