Wooooo, Short Circuit! I'd see a remake of that just for the nostalgia factor.

Hollywood is without any original ideas anymore… laziness has driven them to taking great classic movies and retooling them or just slapping 3D over a popular old release… yay. =/

Nah, they haven't lost originality, they've just discovered that if they regurgitate they'll make a slight profit, whereas if they do something new they might lose money. It's all about risk reduction. (Same reason so many people prefer chain restaurants over small independent places: they know they're getting something mediocre but acceptable.)

The destruction of Akira. We all know what happened when they attempted to make a live action version of Spawn. However, there are some good ones on slate, but please don't destroy Akira and the greatness created by Katsuhiro Otomo.

I can't understand why Michael Enden the Creator of the Story Hates this Movie, he said it' horrible and the Tower look like the Eifeltower in Paris etc.

If list full list is true i'm over disappointed with our entertainment industry. The list seems too deep to be true.

Well, not all remakes suck. For example, I think they did a good job with The Thomas Crown Affair (1999).

Has any of these remakes been a step above it's predecessor? Answer is generally no…. I'm with +Brett Bjornsen on this one and feel sense of creativity has been lost… And now they are starting to remake franchises that haven't been away that long (ex: spiderman)

Great movies on the list. It looks like they just compiled a long list of hits and movies starring dead celebrities (The Bodyguard, really?). Remakes are lame for sure +Dane Carstens!

Dirty Dancing already happened, Red Dawn may never be released and was already filmed(long story on that one), Mad Max: Fury Road is a sequel, Akira is DOA pretty much, Battle Royale probably won't be remade (that rumor has been going on for like 8 years now)….this list is…old and full of errors.

Why wasn't the supposed remake of THE GREATEST KUNG FU MOVIE OF ALL TIME on the list? The Last Dragon.

How could you ever try to improve on Short Circuit? Seems like the Never Ending Story would lose all sorts of whimsical character if made with CGI rather than puppeteering.

One I look forward to is The Dark Crystal, since Jim Henson's studio is involved.

Aw man, I just read the list, really, remaking Red Dawn, Evil Dead, Wargames and doing a Modern Mad Max?? Why?

This entire list actually just makes me sad, and a little angry.

Can't help mentioning that many of these will be more "realistic" because of current CHI technology and people will go just for that.
