1: Robocop vs Terminator

If done right this has big time potential to be an amazing movie. Of course Robocop wins because he's the good guy but imagine the action and the possible plots in which these 2 metal heads could meet up and duke it out.

2: Robocop 4 (rumored)

Paul Verhoeven has said on numerous occasions he would like to make this movie and salvage the series because 3 wasn't as good. It would be great to see this movie made if Paul does the movie, the first one was so amazing and I believe a fourth cold be a big time hit.

3: Predator 3

This movie was rumored for a while but after the first 2 movies both of which were pretty sweet it would be nice to see a third... A new setting for the hunt and a new cast of characters would be awesome.

The rumored third movie was supposed to take place in the future in which a group of commandos find the predator home world and take the fight to them... Personally I think this idea would not work, what made the first 2 movies great was the fact that these things were better then us.

4: Cheech and Chong

For a while when Tommy Chong was in jail he and Cheech Marin planned out a new movie which would have them reunited for yet another stoner movie. Given the legendary status of these 2 and the fact that most people young and old have seen the movies, listened to the album and often reference these 2 pop culture icons this movie would likely be a bigger hit then their last movies.

5: Nineteen Eighty Four

I believe in this day in age and updated version of the book by George Orwell and movies based on it would be relevant today. While it is obviously not 1984 this movie would be cool to see or a movie based on the book under a different title perhaps 2084 would be a more appropriate title for this film.

6: 3001: The Final Odyssey

The first movie was break through in it's time and even by todays standards it stands out as the most accurate space movie to date. It's special effects even by todays standards are still pretty good. 2010 while not as breakthrough as the first was done very well and IMO was as good as the first although highly underrated it featured a great cast and was a very good take on the book. Clark was a fan of both movies and approved of both.

3001 is the last book in the trilogy that has not been made but should be while Clark is still alive, the man is 90 years old.

7: Flash Gordon

While the TV series was not what I had hoped a new movie has serious potential to be a great adventure film. Yes I am aware of the 70's take on the golden age space opera which I did enjoy because it stayed true to the characters I believe this could work as a movie today.

I think Judge Dredd, should be remade! Don't even mention the original film.. disgust.gif it never even touched the satire or irony of the comic.

Robocop captured the vibe..but apparently it was a rip off of the Dredd comics (Dredd never removed his helmet).

I'd like to a remake along the lines of a stylized 'Sin City' vibe.

Dredd vs Aliens

There's a script floating around for a 1984 remake, but from what I've been hearing, it isn't great. It's the only thing I would like to see redone, but if it does happen, I really doubt it would be done well.

Another thing that I think would be fun to remake, would be pretty much any Ed Wood movie, only with name actors and a real budget. That being said, people have tried, and it's turned out just terribly.

They are making another Bond film and Craig has already signed on. There are no more Bond books to make into film and this movie will continue directly after the events in Casino Royale.... It is highly likely we will see the return of the very shadowy group known in the previous films as SPECTRE which was hinted at in Casino Royale.

Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Connery and in my opinion better as his character is more human and not invincible.

When you become bond... You don't sign on to a single movie. You sign a contract for a certain amount of movies.

Ne when he did Casino Royale he signed to do that movie then signed another contract... Economically this makes more sense for the actor as you get multiple signing bonuses etc.

I would love to see Armoured Gideon be made into a movie from the 2000ad comics.

Warhammer 40,000 would make a nice gory scifi movie also if they would make it.

Starcraft and Warcraft the movie would be nice but they would have to be careful because they are legends in my eyes or Diablo.

I could do with another Godzilla movie but not a Hollywood one.

Bill Hill

Oh yeah Armoured Gideon good choice.
Loads of good ideas from 2000ad.

I think Finn... would make a good film..
It was only a one off, but he used to hunt down the illuminati and kill em.

Actually, what he would do is sign a contract stating that he's required to appear in future sequels, if the production company wants him back. Then they negotiate the rate depending on the box office gross. It's their best chance to retain an actor that might consider themselves to be too big to do sequels (ie. America Ferrera being forced to be in the sequel to Sisterhood of the Travelling pants...which sucks for her. The whole reason they're making the sequel is because she's on Ugly Betty now. Hopefully she didn't sign a contract saying she would be paid the same amount. She wasn't that big then so her asking price wouldn't have been very high)

Logan's Run

That was a great story that's worth revisiting... "Run runner!"

cerberusxp
James Axler's -Death lands and Outlanders. Would be very cool done right. The first movie attempt had a hack for a director.

Or how about Predator vs Hillery

I couldn't upload it but it is the scene from Alien where the creature comes out of the guys gut and looks around. With Hillery's face on the creature, mouth open.

It's being remade with a 2010 release. Joseph Kosinki is directing. It's going to be his first feature, he's quite well known as a video game director though.


People need to stop remaking the classics. I really don't think it's going to be good.

The Call of Cthulhu
But I'm afraid I won't get to see CGI with non-euclidean geometry until I write a renderer for it myself.
And sounds would be most important in a Cthulhu movie, of course.


Also they could make a TV show based on C.R. Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer.
The novel had some genuine stories about human suffering in it. I'd think for the TV show most episodes would not be based on the novel and John Melmoth's lifespan would be expanded to allow for some episodes to be set in modern times. With the right team of writers this could be great. But then I know that if some studio would give it a try they would end up making a show which would only apply clichés all the time and visually look exactly like Highlander the series. And that's something I would never like to see made.
