Remakes you wouldn't mind

They were going to do Lord of Light (Zelazny book) in 1980 or so but it didn't happen, would be good to see it happen.

Time Bandits(Dwarf thieves are awesome),
Krull(modern times lol)
The beastmaster(set it in modern times)
and of course
Dragonslayer (one of my favorites from the 80s).

Edit: Crying freeman done right.

Maximum Overdrive(Stephen King's Trucks)

2 hours of smart devices gratuitously exterminating urbanites till a few are spared at pumps and recharge stations. A lot of working class people are rescued by full-size UN helicopters and planes while environments are observed burning below. Too late, some children ask their parents why the pilot seats are empty. Siri and Alexa come over the intercoms as aircraft approach solar panel factories and labor camps on the edge of a freshly paved rainforest.

i'm at the point where i dont want any sequels to films i enjoyed. they always fuck them up in the woke era. though, i am open to porn sequels to some films.

I am legend.
The source material is so good.

Our government. But stick closely to the source material.

I would get behind a well made true to the work and high budget The Stand. Like a 5-6 season long show on one of the streaming networks? Fuck yeah.

Thats actually one author that wrote some good shit in his time and never really realized any hollywood bang. I know he had a few here and there that were good like carrie, maximum overdrive etc.. but for the most part they all sucked. some were like low budget made for TV bullshit series.

The Shining. Shawshank Redemption. Stand By Me. Christine was decent and has held up pretty well.

The Stand would take a good director and showrunner to make work.

They remade The Thing and it sucked. I dont think Beverly Hills cop would work modern day and without Eddie Murphy.

several times if you consider the 1950's movie, John Carpenter's is by far and away still the best

Wheel of Time but make it good this time.

5 or 6 seasons? no way. you can do 3 seasons of The Stand, its only 3 parts.
First season the Captain Trips takes out most of the planet and the visions leading people to Vegas or Boulder. each episode you can get the origins of all involved.

Second season. living in Vegas and Boulder. daily corpse cleanup. the struggle to get the lights and water turned back on. it would be a boring season, but it would constantly be moving.

Third and final season. The Stand. all the events leading to the showdown in Vegas. much more exciting than the previous 2.

now if the show is a success you can start a new series, call it The Chronicles of Flagg. showcase the times he shows up in a King novel and then you can segue into the proper adaption of the Dark Tower Books. then we are looking at 10 or more full seasons. all hinging on lack of SJW insert Idris Elba bullshit casting to ruin the whole thing. which is an impossibility.

Cannonball Run just because the cars are way sicker now and you could have Hoonicorn, Gone in 60 secs, Jessie James, Grease Monkey Garage and Fast n Furious cameos for giggles.

that could work, but i think they silently banned movies like that because they might encourage real life cannonball runs. although people are still totally doing cannonball runs in real life.

It’s obscure, but The Keep. Nazis getting killed by a vampire in an abandoned Romanian fortress… or is it a vampire? The original is a stylish train wreck, loathed by the author and featuring an amazing cast. This needs to be remade right!
