With all of the detritus clogging our theaters today, wouldn’t it be nice to see something entertaining for a change? Either Hollywood has run out of ideas, or it just doesn’t care anymore. The latter is probably the case. Anyway, here are three films that should be (but will probably never be) made.
The Kevin Smith Superman Movie
Why this project never left the gates is a mystery to me. If anyone should be directing comic book films, it would be someone like Kevin Smith – a self-proclaimed comic book geek. The upcoming Superman Returns will certainly be entertaining, but Smith’s version would most likely be spectacular.
Mad Max 4: Fury Road
Sequels are a hit or miss proposition. Both Mad Max and The Road Warrior were classics, but after the first forty-five minutes of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, audiences were praying for death. (Rule #1 of Wyatt’s Film Creed: Never insert children into an action film.) Speculation of a fourth Mad Max installment, with Mel Gibson reprising the lead, was widespread until only recently, when the studios decided against it. Crap.
Any Film Adaptation of a John Sandford novel
Sandford’s “Prey” series is possibly the most exciting in all of modern literature. His hero Lucas Davenport is tailor made for the big screen, a literary version of Vic Mackey. Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burroughs) would be perfect for the role. Imagine a Davenport/Bekker or a Davenport/Carla Rinker matchup. If they film it, audiences will come.
I rather doubt that Mel can still run as fast as he did in the first movies!
ReplyDeleteHollyweird seems intent on only doing remakes and trying to turn tv shows into movies! Originality sadly missing!
Prey Books are incredible and I have always said that they would make great movies. This is, unfortunately, proven wrong if you have ever seen the TV movie Mind Prey starring the De LaSalle guy from ER. Very Bad.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of Bad Hollywood, they are remaking the Dirty Dozen. For Shame!!
Now it the were to remake Deathrace 2000 . . . .make that 3000, now we are talking a remake. Sadly this didn't work for Rollerball.
Finally, screw Arnold! They should do the remake of WestWorld with Clint Eastwood. Sure, he's old, but he's a robot. It would be better than the new POSIEDON!
To quote Daffy Duck : Shoot Me Now! Shoot Me Now!
"Mad Max 4: Fury Road" - I will never see one of that "Bible Thumping" a-holes movies again. What a jerkoff! Who gives a sh*t what he believes in or who killed that Jesus guy? Mel Gibson was put on this earth to shoot people and drive a car in a nuclear wasteland. We don't gives a rat's ass about his religious beliefs.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, "Air America" and "Bird On A Wire" sucked ass.
oh, one more thing...the only "Sanford" movie should be "Sanford and Son"!
ReplyDeleteLin - They are sure setting the bar much lower than they used to.
ReplyDeleteDeathlok - I saw the listing for that one on imdb.com. I was mortified when I saw who was playing Davenport! Dirty Dozen doesn't need a remake. Morons!!!
Randal - Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think.
And yes, those other two mivoes reeked.
Sanford and Son? Ass.
