Some of them on there should be left well enough alone. I ask you, how can you have Arthur without Dudley Moore? The Taking of Pelham 123 without Walter Matthau? The mind boggles. |
Thanks for that Moejoe - some of those are just scary:
Death Wish - to be remade starring Sylvester Stallone!! Chosen, presumably, because he's the only man who comes across as more wooden than Charles Bronson?
Fantastic Voyage - without Raquel Welch?!?
Last Tango in Paris - with Tom Cruise in the Marlon Brando role!? Please, somebody stop him - does his egotism know no bounds.
Still, some on the list there that were so bad first time around that there's not really much pressure on the remakes; Red Sonja, Meatballs, Conan, The Karate Kid and Footloose spring to mind. Let's face it, you don't need to be Francis Ford Coppola to improve on those!
