I'd love to see a new Flash Gordon movie, but I would hope it has no association with the De Laurentiis production from the 80s. That movie is a cult classic, and doesn't need an update. I'd prefer just a plain reboot, like they do with Spider-Man and The Hulk every few years.Big Rec for Last Starfighter and Enemy Mine. Those were two of my staples as a kid, even though they are pretty wooden. But decent storylines to both, could be way better done now.
How about Flash Gordon? The one from the 80s was frankly, supercheesy, at best. But you could redo it, make it legitimate, yet still keep it a little tongue in cheek and have fun with it. Maybe a GOTG kind of feel.
Ridley Scott isn't doing his legacy any favors by trying to "solve" the riddles of his early films. Just as Prometheus < Alien, I predict Bladerunner 2049 <<< Bladerunner (director's cut).
Agree. I loved Prometheus, even more so due to all the possibilities that it opened up within that Aliens universe.Id like to see where hes taking Prometheus/Alien before I completely write it off. I thought Prometheus was a well done movie in suspense and general scifi weirdness. The acting was well done too. Obviously the plot holes and a little bit of incoherence was what really put everyone off on, but hopefully the writers are improved on the next go around. I definitely didnt lose interest in that universe from Prometheus' failings. There was enough good stuff to keep my curiosity.

Prometheus was pretty to look at but the story was a muddled mess.Agree. I loved Prometheus, even more so due to all the possibilities that it opened up within that Aliens universe.
While I'm not generally a fan of remakes, I think they could look at a lot of the Sci Fi movies from the 50's. There were a ton made on shoestring budgets. IE: The Fly and The Thing.
The Fly and The Thing are two outstanding remakes of 50's Sci Fi which is why I brought them up. There is a ton of source material that could use an update. But I guess you could also classify them as horror as well. Kind of like Alien. Sci Fi horror.Funny thing is, those two movies still hold up. Even more so The Thing. I can watch that movie for the 3000th time and it still weirds me out.

The Carpenter one is what I am talking about. The most recent one is a prequel to the Carpenter movie. In fact I had pretty much forgotten it existed until you mentioned it.I didnt mind the recent Thing, but something about that old Carpenter camera look makes me more uneasy.

As a kid I adored Batteries Not Included.
