I believe one of the Hemsworth boys would be good in it.

Yep, most people do, including Rove. But the truth is that morality is entirely dependent on the individual. Every demographic has moral folks, amoral folks, and immoral folks. It’s always has been that way and always will be that way. It’s the way God works.
Yes, but demographics are an average for a neighborhood. It’s why It’s best to stay out of some neighborhoods wile others are desirable to take up residence. It’s demographics.

Like Total Recall, the special effects will be improved but the story/acting will probably be the same.
Did you notice this in the new Total Recall?

Why dont they remake Escape from LA? Thats the one that sucked and should be remade better. It would need a complete re-write first. That film plays like a liberal's wet dream, trashing conservatives and evangelicals.

How can you possibly improve on a movie that has Lee Van Cleef saying “Plisken” in to a radio 482 times?

American Gods is being turned into a TV Show by Starz. Sandman has been in development hell forever, might someday be a movie or TV show. Fox is supposed to be working on a Lucifer show, but given the way Constantine bombed I’m betting they dump it. As a shared universe the rights on Thieves World are just way too complicated, and get more complicated every time one of the writers dies.

Dave Bautista proved he could handle it in Guardians. Still, remaking this is a mistake.

Ringworld. Thieves World. The Wheel of Time. Terry Brooks Shannara line-up. Iain M. Banks Culture novels. Larry Nivens Dream Park. Koontz has a bunch of stuff that would translate directly to the screen. I would love to see Roger Zelazny's Amber series on film. Just imagine one of the hellrides through shadow with modern CGI.

Snake will be a white guy, however he will be a bumbling Will Farrel type fool.
Brain will be a Black Man,
Brain’s Girlfriend on the other hand will be a modern empowered women, who will constantly come to the rescue of Snake & Brain when their whacky schemes go awry or their bumbling gets them in trouble.
Oh and even though Brain’s Girlfriend is only 90lbs, while Snake & Brain run from fights or get their @$$es quickly kicked, she easily takes on and beats up multiple 250+ lb guys all by herself while wearing heals & tight leather.

They will probably cast the queer from Big Bang Theory or How I Met Your Mother to show queers can be tough.

If it trends the way pretty much like all “remakes” have been cast recently, it will star Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, or Chris Rock as the lead, with appropriate hangers-on as required. Hopefully, they will not succeed in getting The Mooch or The Won in spot appearances, and if they decide to throw in a scene starring Sean Hannity as a tv commentator using his on-air cast then for God’s sake do NOT let him put on that bloody disgusting skank Tamarra Jackson-Holder as an “opposing position guest speaker” AGAIN. Please!
You heard it here first.

The Middleman parody was really good and will take it over the remake disaster that will probably occur.

Kurt Russell IS Snake Plisskin.
It’s doomed to fail.
