“The Great Gatsby”. Fourth time’s the charm.
“Detour”. The original was great, but it could be retold with modern scenary and still work, though they won’t find an actress to play the bad girl so perfectly.
“Heaven Can Wait”. This time Beatty can play the Rams’ owner!
If this counts, I would love to see a faithful movie adaptation of John Christopher’s Tripods trilogy. Disney has the rights. The TV series was never completed. Light CGI would work well with this.
Ann Savage’s performance in “Detour” can NEVER be topped. The thing of nightmares. Still makes my skin crawl, just thinking of her character. Ever since I first saw the film forty years ago.
