[...] myself included, were a bit put off that Hollywood had the gall to just reboot Star Trek like they reboot everything else. One of the key ways Viacom’s PR machine sold the movie was by promising new, original [...]

What? No STAR WARS? The Holy Grail of movie reboots. And yes, Lucas will eventually allow it because it will make a boat load of cash.

It’s FIRST BLOOD, not Rambo.

[...] There are no more original ideas Posted on May 23rd, 2009 by Tommy Everyone has noticed by now the flurry of Hollywood remakes and franchise reboots (Indiana Jowned, Last Poop on the Left, X-Men 4, Friday the 430th, ad nauseam….). There’s even talks about rebooting other franchises: Teenage Mutant Ninja Poop, Superpoop, Poop to the Future, etc, etc…. [...]

Johnny-K your idea about X-men I read is gonna happen but as direct-to-Dvd movies X-men Orgins will show the rise of all the other little characters of the movies. Don’t expect to see Hugh Jackman or any of the others in them.

I won’t mind a Magnum PI movie as long as Tom Selleck is in it… Tom Selleck is the man.

Nostalgia for old TV shows causes modern movies based on those TV shows (See: The Beverly Hillbillies, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Lost in Space, Star Trek, Dragnet, et al). I think the time has come to move forward in the timeline.

We should all look forward to theatrical versions of Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., and only The Lord knows what else. Count on it.

Call me sick, but if AvP can happen why not Terminator vs Robocop? That would be amazing, or at least a proper reboot of those two along with the Alien and Predator franchises. And it’s time for an Independence Day reboot. They should also reboot all the movies Eddie Murphy made in be 80′s, back when they were funny like Trading Places, Coming To America, Harlem Nights. Last but not least, how about a Boyz n the Hood, New Jack City, Menace II Society, and Juice reboots?

doubt their will be anymore Rocky Enless it isn’t about Rocky The Champ but Rocky training a New Champ but doubt Sly Go for it. Yeah they never touch back to the future that is a classic. I really think I am going to submit some of my scripts because what happened to new fresh Ideas. The Matrix will not have a Sequel it was always planned as a Trilogy and then the online game to launch the endless story after The Matrix. Love the Matrix and wouldn’t mind another Sequel but I feel the story is done in its film version.

You know, that was actually on my original list when I was considering what to include but I ended up pruning it out.

I’ve heard that a remake/reboot of John Hughes’ “The Breakfast Club” is in the works. What about other Hughes movies?

- Ferris Bueller might be good, even though the original is perfect. Maybe Ferris’ son pulls the same stunt?

- Would anyone dare to tackle the “vacation” movies? Might be enough of them already!

- what about some of the other Hughes teen-romance/comedies? Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful?, Sixteen Candles (could do a “40 candles?)

@790

I liked Matrix 2&3 as well, although I feel the first was the best; I thought Speed Racer had it’s moments but overall was flawed (I really enjoyed the racing scenes).

I would like to see a fresh take on Spiderman… The Sam Rami/ Tobey Spidey is getting old. Time for a reboot!

Man I’ve totally allowed this one to bake.

INK I’ll be sittin right next to ya to watch that B5 movie.
How about one that resolves the Drak (sp) plague?

John “Kahless” Taylor; “Lost In Space” just needs a sequel.
I vote for the title, “Lost In Space Where Are They Now?”.
“Forbidden Planet see 1960′s “Star Trek” pilot..

ZAH; “Porky’s” , Dreck.. Jesus said, “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear!”

blipvert; “Buckaroo Banzai” now your talking, Earl Mac Rauch
with David Lynch should co-write and direct.

Panda; “Flash Gordon” only if they make a satire.

Zipper Stevens; um, you need to get out on the web more man..;)

thisgirltv; “Highlander” the movies = under baked baked alaska.
Scrap and start from scratch. “MST3K” Cloned, by the parents of
the original. thisgirltv Welcome, don’t be a stranger.

790; “Star Wars” reboot “Even if he dies his daughter
will uphold his wishes.” Maybe.. The next generation or
the next, have a way of surprising their relatives. Don’t
discount needs vs desires on this either. A Lucas in the poor
house?? Hey, it could happen, look at the DeLaurentis family.

saxophone7770; no offense but “Mad Max” + “Borne” movies +
Bale = channeled wet dream. whose’? Surely not George Miller.
“Bullet” remake with Daniel Craig. yeah I’d buy that..

Gary; “I Relly hope they leave Back to the Future alone .”
790; “Yeah I agree Gary”
the old man; Trifecta

Johnny-K of Norway; “The Phantom movie ” Yeah, behind you 100% minus the 130 mill of course.

eli; “I vote for Godzilla!” WoW, its the “Robot Chicken” sketch all over again..

Gary; “I think rebooting Elektra wouldn’t be a bad idea.” but what about “EleKtra and Wolverine” huh??

Ken J; about “Matrix”- “1 was GREAT and was very unique” Only if you’ve never heard “the one” about how all of reality is just God dreaming and what would happen if God woke up!

790; “Sorry gang if you don’t like Speed Racer or Matrix 2/3″
Don’t let em bait ya man. In 40 years they’ll be saying, those movies were great or we’ll all be dead and it won’t matter anyway.
“Its really too bad ppl are actually accepting this reboot-craze.”
Baby boom nostalgia, once it dries up you might not even see a SciFi film for a decade.
