Which movie from your childhood would you like to see modernized?

No. Stop re-making. Leave classic films alone.

If you want to source old material, why has nobody touched Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land ?

Or Dan Dare ?

the last starfighter. one hundred percent.

a remake would be cool, but so would being the same actors/characters just later in life.

I think someone should take a stab at remaking Explorers

Instead of reboots I'd rather see continuations of series I love using AI to keep the people at the same age they were. Like more Star wars stories with Luke, Han and Leia or more Indiana Jones movies or more back to the Future. There's so much possibility with those stories and we already love those characters.

None. I have (generally) found that remakes and reboots do not live up to the originals despite (or because of) the technology upgrades. I am thinking of clash of titans, willy Wonka, transformers as example. The exception may be the daniel Craig James bond films.

Dune.

Megaforce. Modern CGI would do wonders for the film.

I was literally thinking about this the other night. I'd like to see a new "Last Starfighter"

I like the story, and I’m sure we can find solid, updated eye-candy from Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling.

Could go for a new Logans Run. They could do a lot with that property.

kramwest1@reddit

I’d be up for it. I like the original, but the effects are awful in the modern era.

I would love to see a remake of "Outland" 1981.

That was classic sci-fi. Sheriff goes to clean up the drug problem in a small mining town.

Oh and BTW the mining town is on Jupiter's moon IO.

Yes.

None. I am bored with reboots. I am in the future now. Why is there no new stuff?

[-]

Agent7619@reddit

Go see Project Hail Mary

Hattkake@reddit

Thank you. I have heard that name before so I will. It is new, like 2025, 2026 new?

Came here to say this myself. No prequils. No origin stories. No reboots.

New stories. New characters. Please.

Concerning modern "prestige tv", how about more than ten episodes per season and less than a year between seasons?

Draco53@reddit

I loved that movie so much as a kid. My only concern about a modernization is they'd be likely to completely ruin the movie.

platoniclesbiandate@reddit

Watcher in the Woods. A forgotten and spooky Disney movie that could benefit from modern special effects.

[-]

Braincloud@reddit

Not without Bette Davis 😩 I was obsessed with that movie lol.

[-]

Vast_Breadfruit_162@reddit

Prince of Darkness.

Great story, good direction, decent writing, TERRIBLE ACTING!!

BabadookOfEarl@reddit

😮 How dare you treat master thespian Alice Cooper that way!

[-]

Rredhead926@reddit

The Last Starfighter - not so much modernized. I'd like to see the sequel.

[-]

everydave42@reddit

No. Not everything needs a sequel. The Kodan Armada was defeated. Fin.

[-]

Rredhead926@reddit

There are other threats besides the Kodan Armada. At the end of the movie, Alex is going back out to train the next Starfighter Legion.

[-]

everydave42@reddit

Which he will excel at becuase we see his character development in the film. This is the point. Not every story needs to go on forever...

I get it, you want more of the same, and I'm not knocking you for it. I just don't see the point of it from a storytelling perspective. He had the hero's journey, what more is there?...oh..right....another hero's journey?

Let it be.
