The bizzare remake concept thread

[Timstuff]

Here's a fun idea: think up a classic movie, and then come up with a strange concept for a remake. I'll start us off:

Ridley Scott's Monty Python and the Holy Grail

A scene-by-scene remake of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but in the style of Ridley Scott's historical epics, with the comedy being replaced with rapid fire action and battle scenes.

 

[Darkness Falls]

i like this thread topic

m night shyamalan's The Terminator

the story starts off the same, then towards the end it turns out that sarah connor is also a robot sent from the future for a reason that is never told, and everybody she knew was already dead

Clive Barker presents...

Leonard Part 666

Bill Cosby stars as the former CIA agent who deals with cases of demon possession and other religious paranormal phenomena. His previous cases were so potentially damaging to the psyche of the world populace, and possibly destructive to religious traditions, that the case files have been locked away. In this case, it appears that animals have been possessed by demons and are devouring people. Hell on Earth follows...

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Rob Zombie's Halloween.

Michael Myers was an abused product of a terrible white trash childhood. One day he just snapped and killed his....wait...a...minute...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: In Ridley Scott's Holy Grail, Arthur would be played by Russel Crowe. Although I think that's pretty obvious.

Clash of the Titans... Instead of falling in love with Andromeda, Perseus is changed to a one-note revenge character hell-bent on avenging his family against the gods. Also, Zeus is a rapist with a heart of gold.

Wait a minute...

OK, I LOL'd at the Clash of the Titans description.

 

[Prison Mike]

The Godfather starring...everyone from the Apatow movies. Basically, it's a shot by shot remake but The Corleone family smokes pot and laughs a lot.

 

[dude stannis]

Paul Greengrass' Star Wars.

The film begins in 2001 with Matt Damon as Luke Skywalker, a young farmboy whose new second hand laptop actually has the locations of WMD's in Radwaniyah Palace, stored in there by Leia (Julia Styles), an American captive in Iraq. His Aunt and Uncle are killed on 9/11 so Brian Cox who plays Obi Wan Kenobi becomes his mentor in the ways of CIA black ops. They join up with rogue drug smuggler Han Solo (Christian Bale natch) who takes them to the Pentagon to find out that it's also been attacked and then they somehow end up in Radwaniyah Palace in 2003. Hijinks ensue until our heroes escape but not before Obi Wan is killed by Saddam Hussein in a katana fight. They deliver the laptop to the Coalition who stage a successful invasion of Radwaniyah Palace.
