Movie Wish List

                                          

Look at Shia!  He is just LOVING the movies.  I love movies!  We all love movies!  But if it seems like Hollywood are running out of original ideas, it's because they are.  And hey, I understand.  So I'm not here to bash on Hollywood, I am here to help.


I'm going to make a list of movies that have already been made, that either need a sequel, or a complete remake.  I am here to help you Hollywood!  And if you have any to add yourself, feel free to email me, or my Hollywood producer namesake Jeff Kleeman (he may not be as cool with it, actually, don't email him, just email me). 

Let's begin with a movie remake that has hit written all over it!



You can't tell me this wouldn't be huge!?  Especially today!?  Man coaches soccer team, not doing too hot.  He's dating a single mother, son happens to be good at soccer.  One thing leads to another and this happens:

Abby Wambach was the stunt double

Picture the Biebs in the lead as the "girl"!  I'm sure Tim Allen isn't busy, he's got the Dangerfield role.  Let's get this done!  Wanda Sykes as the sassy assistant coach.  This is basically writing itself people!  Let's make the following picture a reality for the new generation!

Biebs/Allen/Sykes

Moving along in a different direction, if you've seen Guardians of the Galaxy (and if you haven't, what's wrong with you?), you have heard at the end the following makes a cameo, but there needs to be a remake of:



This is a Marvel comic.  So it's already cleared $100 million.  It has a wisecracking duck, coming here to save the world (who also happens to be a hell of a guitarist):

This is the 80's in a nutshell

It also has Lea Thompson, riding her fame after Back to the Future, being his..um, love interest?  Friend?  Duck buddy?

No one knows what this is.

If Marvel can make Ant Man in to a great movie (and they did), then Howard the Duck can definitely be a thing.  Get some young up-and-comer to play her.  Hell, Lea Thompson has a kid that acts, boom, done.

Would Marty McFly hit this?

You're hired!  Get some CGI for the duck, a bad ass bad guy and you got yourself another hit marvel! 



Constantine should be remade.  I recently saw this for the first time.  It's boring.  It's awful.  I expected better.  Just remake it.

Whoa.  Why?

It's not that confusing Nic!  They remade Spider-Man way too soon.  Cabin Fever is getting damn year a shot for shot remake.  Why not this movie?  Spruce it up.  Put someone else in the lead and boom, hit movie.  You're welcome Hollywood.

Speaking of movies that aren't too old that need to be remade:



Do you like Jaws?  Does Jaws need a sequel (also yes)?  Well Deep Blue Sea was/is that.  Get it going.  Hell bring back Sam Jackson again!  He'll do almost anything (Formula 51 anyone)!

Say kilt again!  I dare you!

Next movie remake!



Come out and play!!!  From what I've read, this has been talked about for years.  But can you imagine an updated version of The Warriors?  It'd be amazing. 

Who would you cast?

I think this scene being recreated is reason enough for admittance, oh and hire Dwayne Johnson to be this guy:

You smell what he's cooking?

You can have a heyday with remaking Arnold movies.  Hell they are sequeling the hell out of Terminator (bring a True Lies sequel dammit).  But the perfect movie to remake out of Arnold's catalog is this incredibly underrated 80's movie. 

The movie takes place in the future, where Arnold is framed for something he didn't do!  He is then put on a reality TV show where the premise is, he has to fight people to gain his freedom.  Well guess what?  This movie is freaking awesome. 

The future governor of Minnesota.

Above is Jesse Ventura, hamming it up.  It has action.  It has a romantic storyline.  It has an amazing soundtrack.  Update this.  Pay Chris Pratt all the money in the world to do it, and end result, we get 2 sequels to a remake of The Running Man.  And we'd get someone playing this guy in the remake!


Who would we cast?

Throw in a hot romantic interest (Olivia Wilde?  Olivia Munn?  Someone named Olivia?) and Arnold being the villain, and we're good.

Even has a catchphrase!

It is... it showtime.  Next up will be some sequels that are needed, first up:




What happened after he won the rap battle?  Did he get big?  Develop a pill addiction?  Also, does anyone remember Anthony Mackie was the bad guy?



What IS Clarence up to after that epic rap battle?  So many unsanswered questions.  Just call it 9 Mile and we're good.  Next!



I hate things being left after only 2 movies.  If you're doing a series, every Hollywood movie needs to come in three's!  For better or worse, and this one would be somewhere in between that.



Bring back Rob Lowe.  See what happens to Wayne and Cassandra.  Did Garth ever marry?  Is the show still on?!  Is Stan Mikita's Donuts still in business!?

Stan Mikita!

Speaking of trilogies that still need to happen, well, let's end with this one today:

Excellent!

This has also been in the works for years, but this NEEDS to happen.  We all know Alex Winter isn't busy.  Keanu is making John Wick, but he can fit this in.  I'll buy tickets now for this.  Come on!

Before I started writing this, I had no idea how many movies that my friends and I would come up with for this list. So we're not stopping here (well sort of).

Next week look for part 2 of this list! This time, it'll be the movies my friends compiled.

Thanks for reading and never forget!
