Renton 22024 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Now I know most remakes of films are shite, but they happen anyway, so what film would you like to see be given the 21st century touch? I was watching Westworld the other day, and think it's ripe for being remade. Great plot which could benefit from some decent special effects and more robotic sex. How do I claim my commission?

Gemmill 46141 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Maurice - with Meenzer and SMO taking the leading roles. From IMDB.com: "Two male English school chums find themselves falling in love". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Bryner is a cool dude. 124226[/snapback] Aye, but therein lies the problem, modern stars seem to lack the charisma of the older ones. I mean, where are your Newmans, Redfords, or McQueens today? No one is cool any more or maybe it's just me. Talking of bad remakes, Get Carter with Stallone has to be the worst ever. It was always going to be hard to top Alf Roberts falling from the car park, but Jesus was that remake bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I wonder if actors aren't cool or don't seem to be cool anymore is the celeb culture whereby you get to learn all their secrets (diets etc.) so they seem more normal and less detached and untouchable like they did in the past.

Gemmill 46141 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I reckon Tom Cruise leaping around on the sofas on Oprah screaming "I LOVE THIS WOMAN" didn't help his cause. Not that he was cool anyway like. The bloke is so fake - when he does that fake laugh I just want to knock him off his cuban heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats so rude!" Frank Sinatra would just have had a mafioso put a bullet in the guys face tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in a purely voyueristic capacity and didn't reveal myself, went to see if I could guess who anyone was, think I clocked Gemmill (fat as fuck as I recall!)

Gemmill 46141 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Aye I forgot about that. And then he held the bloke's arm so he couldn't get away. I think it would take me about two seconds of that to get wound enough to belt him one. "You're a jerk. Do you hear me? You're a jerk. So rude."

Smooth Operator 10 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 They should remake the classic French film Les Valseuses aka Going Places (for the American audience) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072353/ Anyone seen it? It's funny as fuck and a slick hollywood remake with the right actors could be a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22024 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Saw a documentary on Animal Farm last night. They could remake that too, although I imagine it's been done several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
