Remakes are an oft-maligned species of film – although not always bad, news that a much-loved classic is in line for an update does not tend to fill moviegoers hearts with joy.
Earlier today on Twitter we asked the following:
Q. Are there any films you WOULD like to see remade?
— Guardian Film (@guardianfilm) March 1, 2012
Here's a few of the responses we received:
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – this time with heart and intelligence.
The Golden Compass; His Dark Materials deserves a big screen adaptation which does it and its themes justice.
I've always thought there was potential for a good contemporary thriller in Hitchcock's Sabotage.
Oliver Stone's Alexander with a mostly new cast and a better script.
George Romero's "Martin". Interesting idea, but GR flubbed it.
Transformers. The director should be David Lynch.
Enduring Love, it doesn't do the book justice at all.
How about you? Are there any films you'd like to see remade, and if so why? Or do you side with @mals_wire's view:
NO! Re-makes all suck.
