The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Not saying I necessarily want them, but movies I could see happening Ferris Bueller's Day Off (yes, I know there was a terrible spin-off show) Back to the Future (I'd be okay with a sequel under the right conditions, but stay the hell away from a reboot.) Adam Sandler's movies have bombed lately, I wouldn't be surprised if a Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, or Waterboy sequel soon. I've read rumors of Mike Myers working on Austin Powers 4 and Wayne's World 3 for like ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Logan's Run. Mainly because it takes a very hedonistic view of human society which is very much in vogue today. Not sure how they would "update" it. Christianity is very obviously absent but the belief of a better "next life" if you will means you have a higher belief than a physical graspable universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although seeing an actual movie of Napolean living adult life would be interesting. Going Places is an upcoming American crime comedy film written by, directed by, and starring John Turturro, acting as both a remake of the 1974 French film of the same name by Bertrand Blier, and a spin-off to the 1998 cult film The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers, from which Turturro reprises his role as Jesus Quintana. Old School would be interesting. As for the Smokey and the Bandit reboot, while that can go wrong in so many ways, it could also be awesome. And it can't be any worse than the sequels.

dpberr Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Could you do Smokey and the Bandit today? That movie was just a long advertisement for the awesomeness of CB radios.

Yeah, thats the problem, there are some movies that have sequels that were 'straight to dvd/video' that many never new were made (which might be a good thing) I think there were like 4 'Home Alones' made Edited January 9, 2019 by apuszczalowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills4everNY Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'm surprised they haven't remade "Jaws" as the same movie except replaced the mechanical shark with a CGI shark. A lot of fans of the original would probably hate them doing that but I think it would still make a ton of money at the box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that concept would be exciting in a "24" format where it happens in the span of a day. I might flip it around a little and have a very retired pilot play the Gedrick role and an active pilot play the Gossett role. Road House is a favorite of mine but it would be a challenge because when you really think about that movie, what exactly was the overarching plot? ?

Brick and mortar retail is dying so that won't work. Now that I think about that would not work for a fair amount of old television where the villain wants to cheat somebody out of their old house or farm for development property if redone today.

Billy, who's now a reasonably responsible adult, and successfully running the Madison hotel chain. However, now he has a son that's a chip off the old block. Billy Jr pulls a "You have no idea how hard school is, grandpa basically handed you the company." So Billy does the same challenge, along with his late teen, early 20s son, to prove it to him.

This is why I said under the right conditions. It would only work IF at least Bob, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J Fox, Thomas F. Wilson, and Lea Thompson were involved.

But even with all of the elements I just mentioned, I'm still not sure it would work. The other sequels were direct continuations, picking up right where the last one left off. But those were only five years apart. Although Christopher Lloyd is now about the age that he was supposed to be in the movies, would we be able to suspend our disbelief that Michael J Fox isn't a teenager anymore?

Although anti-racist in general there are a fair amount of non-PC moments in the film that if deleted will harm the essence of it. Valentine's house party with his street associates, Lewis Winthorp proposing assault with a deadly weapon, Beeks in the guerrilla cage, and street hookers in general to name a few. I thought the original was fairly cast dependent with Murphy, Ackroyd, Ameche, Bellamy, and even Paul Gleason as the slimy Clarence Beeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had most of the original actors, same director, and a solid script I'd be good with it. The delorean was destroyed so they'd have to use the flying train. They could certainly play with the ages of the actors through time travel to make it work. It would have to be a really good script though. My guess is you'd need an '85 Biff/Doc and a '15 Marty to make it work with how hold the actors are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
