Like a deadpool, but we base our lists on classic/old films that we believe will be announced for Remaking within the next year. And for fun, you can try to predict who'll they'll cast for it and maybe who'll helm and how the plot will be "updated". 5 movies.

1. See No Evil/Hear No Evil:
A blind man (Chris Rock) and a deaf man (Owen Wilson) witness a murder, which they quickly get blamed for and have to go on the run together to clear their names.
Unless Bret Rattner directs, and you can replace Chris Rock with Chris Tucker.

2. Pete's Dragon
I dunno about the plot or cast, but the dragon WILL be CGI!

3. The Dirty Dozen
Inglourious Basterds will inspire a new string of WW2 mission movies, this one starring a ragtag bunch of B and A-lister's making up the new incarnation of the team. Expect George Clooney to be one of them, and to be wrongly accused of whatever put him on death row

4. The Great Escape
Daniel Craig as "Big X"
Peter Capaldi as Ramsey
Jim Caviezel as "The Cooler King"
Matthew McConaughey as "The Scrounger"
David Tennant in the David McCallum role
Billy Boyd as Ives
Hugh Jackman or Russell Crowe in James Coburn's role as the australian

5. Midnight Run
Sam Jackson and Ed Norton, with Robert Deniro as Special Agent Alonso Mosley

This is outstanding - and I would totally see that Midnight Run remake, except I'd cast Giamatti instead of Norton.

I'll post mine later tonight.

[BC]

I'll work on cast later, but I fully expect to see a comedic version of Romeo & Juliet at some point, probably starring Ben Stiller.

[Stu]

How about Gnomeo and Juliet?

[BC]

Good fucking lord. I hate Hollywood.

[Demko]

Why do I get a horrible feeling that now that Hughes has passed, someone in Hollywood is going to get a bug up their ass to remake The Breakfast Club?

Put Hanks in there instead of Pitt and I would fucking see that movie in a second.

Can't see Hanks pulling off a baseball player real well, I'm fine with Pitt, but I agree, I'd go see this movie in a second. also, Demko's Breakfast Club cast pisses me off just reading it, James Franco as Bender...ugh

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Go watch him take hacks in A League of Their Own... Hanks could handle it.

[Stu]

Tom Cruise apparently wants to do a Butch and Sundance remake, with Robert Redford's permission. I've got 2 problems with that
1. Robert Redford may have played the most well known version of the character, but since this is a historical figure, I don't think he should get to be the fucking authority on who can play the guy after him
2. Why? How exactly has the development of technology and film making techniques made a remake of a Period Biopic necessary? I get the idea of remaking fictional westerns like 3:10 to Yuma because you've got more freedom to alter the story. Nobody's going to do a remake of Ray in 20 years time, are they?

He was the one I was having problems coming up with someone to re-cast. Did you have a better idea? I'm curious who you would cast in the re-make...

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I would cast Ben Foster as Bender. I think he could still pass for a high schooler.

[Mikey]

Speaking of Hanks and movies I'd totally go see, cast Hanks as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird and I'm there.

Also, isn't The Exorcist due for a remake? Or have I missed that one already?

[Deleted]

Howabout a remake of "The Karate Kid" with Jackie Chan in the Miyagi role and Will Smith's son Jaden in the Daniel-san role?

Oh, wait...

I hate you for this.

Though Mikey has a good one here, I could see Hanks playing Atticus Finch

I like Rogan a lot and I LOVE Paul Rudd, but this would fucking SUCK BALLS.

Also, is anyone actually gonna play Stu's game or are you all just gonna sit around recasting movies?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

For the record, I hate all of my remakes but I wouldn't be surprised if any of them were green lit.

[Stu]

Also, wouldn't the Blues Brothers be hard to make as the musical it was with most of the actual rhythm and blues musicians from the original either dead or just really too old? I don't want modern "R 'n' B" musicians filling those roles either.
