It would be tough to measure up to the original which was directed by Blake Edwards and written by Truman Capote and George Axelrod (who also did the screenplay for the original Manchurian Candidate and The Seven Year Itch). I'm sure the writers had a lot to do with the original films success and continuing popularity.
Plus who can replace Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard?
I'm kind of surprised The Graduate hasn't been redone, but I'm really glad it hasn't been. I don't think you could recapture the vibe of that film. On another note, I wish I could go back in time and redo the sequel to Chevy Chase's Fletch Lives but get it right this time.
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Creature From the Black Lagoon
Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Just a random musing on this because I'm bored, but with your choice of The Incredible Shrinking Man, and mine of the Incredible Shrinking Woman, I've wondered if they would have to be comedies, instead of suspense/horror or anything more serious like that. I could see people having a hard time taking such a concept seriously.
Pete's Dragon is getting remade next year, with the way CG is now, that is movie just asking for a remake. I just hope they keep the heart of the original including the song "Candle on the Water" and "I Saw a Dragon."
Ditto. I love that movie. I haven't heard anything on the remake since it was announced, other than Robert Redford is in it. I'm a little nervous about it though, considering the way Disney operates these days. I'm terrified they are going to cast Miley Cyrus, Hillary Duff, or any of their usual cadre of manufactured stars.
Creature from the Black Lagoon really needs a remake. It's such a great concept, but the original is intensely giggle-worthy in places. Let Guillermo del Toro do it.
