Movie Remakes (current and scheduled for next year and beyond)

A list of remakes of previously-released films. We have editorially decided to narrow this list to remakes of popular movies produced in the United States. There is a slew of American remakes of foreign films, but those can be more appropriately considered "adaptations" rather than pure remakes. We may create a separate list for these adaptations in the future if there is enough demand. Feel free to contact us or post a message to the forum.

I don't know how accurate this list is. Some of the films are already out. Some may never actually be remade. Some deserve to be remade. Some don't. Many I don't care about - one way or the other.

Ping me when they remake With Six You Get Eggroll.

[Dashing Dasher]

I want to see a remake of HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY with Steve Zahn as Beeblebrox.

[Woman on Caroline Street]

I'm not really a fan of the new CGI type animation, but I think that it could really do justice to Richard Adams' classic "Watership Down", which was done some years ago. I could be cajoled out of the house to see that one on the big screen again.

[GSWarrior]

Nice!

[Dashing Dasher]

For you!

[Hildy]

They're going to REMAKE Cabaret???? Oh, come on...the only thing they can make different is the sex scense...and you know what that means. Why, why, why can't Hollywood be more creative?

[Howlin]

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House?

BLASPHEMY!!!!

Besides, The Money Pit was a complete rip off of that movie -- and it sucked.

I hate remakes.

[Howlin]

And Easy Rider? I didn't like that movie, but that's a CULT movie, FGS. This just shows the void in ideas in Hollywood.

[Mike Bates]

Wow. Another Brian Keith fan?

[EveningStar]

God rest his soul. One of the mos boring actors around. Although he was pretty good in Hardoncastle and McCormick.

[HairOfTheDog]

Why? What would he do different? I'm not real familiar with him.

I sure like the guy that played Beeblebrox in this last version. He's a riot.

[Feiny]

There is no need to remake "The Wild Bunch". That would be a disaster.

[discostu]

They're gonna remake Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things?! Awesome. One of my all time favorite cheesy zombie movies, hope they don't get too big a budget, hate to see a non-cheesy version of the movie.

[Alouette]

I sure like the guy that played Beeblebrox in this last version.

That movie sucked donkey.

[discostu]

That's because there's a Broadway remake of Cabaret that's doing pretty well. Given that Broadway musicals are a popular source for Hollywood right now and so are remakes it's actually a wonder it took them so long.

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - I disagree. I love it, own it, and will enjoy it over and over again.

Just looking at some of the attempted remakes of completely forgettable "flicks" is enough to make a skunk vomit.

The SF Comical had an article in yesterday's entertainment section on why box office receipts are down (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/12/28/DDGV7GDIOL1.DTL)
citing everything, it seems, except for the fact that the movies they are putting out stink! Well, he did kind of paw at the concept, but that wasn't until the very end, and it was a rather left-handed attempt to pin the blame where most of us believe it belongs...
