If a reboot was in order, then I'd like for the style of look and feel to be like that Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake a few years ago. Something that feels real and gritty. Like it's been shot on a home camera or on a phone.
Less excitable than Anderson's movies. If Dredd proved to us that you can get away with a film in pratically just one setting, then the Mansion, it's catacombs and the labs will be enough. Introduce elements of Saw in there, like with the cruel and deadly traps that Spencer laid out for any intruders and spies in his mansion.
Make it more dramatic and stress inducing. Alice, I never feel a sense of worry with her. Not just because she's the main character, but because she's too damn powerful to worry about. In the first film, the characters were more or less human and you could see that. Later on, they all became walking clichés with tough guy lines and poses.
It would HAVE to feel more real and at any given time, that these characters, Chris, Jill, Barry and Rebecca, could face serious injury and death. No more silly action scenes with doing impossible physical feats, while it may look cool, let that stay with Anderson.
I think the first film was probably the best imo. It captured a lot of what I thought was right and best.
But it wasn't gritty enough. A reboot NEEDS to have that dark and grungy and eerie feel that you got from REmake.
And throw Lisa Trevor in there...no Licker stalking the team this time, just her
