The writer said confirmed that's the goal of the smaller films:Chrispy_G wrote:I certainly hope so. I mean....I know it is easy and obvious to pick some iconic hit and remake it and ensure returns. Still, I've always felt that the most ripe opportunities for remakes are either INCREDIBLY old films, at least 50 years old....or films that had a lot of potential and positive aspects but missed the mark or failed to connect with audiences at the time.Destoroyah of Worlds wrote:They're making those so they can build up interest in a reboot/theatrical film.Jeff-Goldblum2 wrote:
They're still making direct to dvd Dragonheart sequels.
With very old films, you are now several generations removed from the original generation that was exposed. You aren't appealing to current parents and their kids....you are appealing to grandkids or great-grandkids of those who saw it, a completely new era.
I still think that films that were 'almost hits' or have gained a cult following are more ripe ground. I'd rather see Treasure Planet and Atlantis adapted to live action than Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid.
Dragonheart is a better film to try and remake than something like Independence Day.

Let's hope the new one is successful enough to do it!
Jeremy Combs as Otto is VERY interesting.SoggyNoodles2016 wrote:Because I'm a Spider-Man stan, and the confusing but intriguing mysteries for the future post FFH and with Sony's MCU, here's my probably shitty list of ideal and unlikely casting choices for Spider-Man villains
Michael Shannon as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin
Jack Quaid as Harry Osborn
Peter Stormare as Sergei "Kraven" Kravinoff
Jeffrey Combs as Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus
B. D. Wong as Martian LI/Mr. Negative
and in my ideal world
Woody HarrelsonBrad Dourif as Cletus Kassiday/Carnage
What do you think of my picks? James Marsters as Norman Osborn and Jemaine Clement as Kraven the Hunter
