There's a movie I wish had gotten a REMAKE but never did:
Logan's Run.
Logan's Run.
Movies You Wish Had Gotten Sequels, That Never Did
- Thread starter JD
- Start date
One of these days . . ..
Seriously, they've been talking about a remake for decades now, but I imagine it will happen eventually.
The PLANET OF THE APES and I AM LEGEND remakes were also mired in Development Hell for what seemed like forever. (Remember when Oliver Stone was going to remake POTA? Or when Ridley Scott was going to direct Shwarzenegger in I AM LEGEND?) But they finally happened . . ..
I'm also still waiting on remakes of FANTASTIC VOYAGE, DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS, and THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN. (The latter was in development for years at Universal, before the rights finally reverted to the author.)
Haven't there been two different Triffid series/miniseries over the last 10 years or so?
On British television, I gather. We haven't had a feature film since 1950s.
And it strikes me that novel would lend itself to a big new movie, preferably without the dopey ending the movie added.

There have been plenty mentioned that I agree with: Serenity (naturally), Event Horizon, Salt, The Fifth Element, Stargate (original cast).
Some that come to mind - sorry if already mentioned. Most will be action movies I expected sequels to follow:
- The Italian Job (not the greatest, but all of those stars seemed primed for another big heist movie)
- Constantine (surely Keanu would have done another)
- True Lies ( I read this was in the works before Arnold became the Governator)
- The Punisher (Another Tom Jane one would have been nice - not the crap that followed)
- The Rundown (for whatever reason The Rock + Sean William Scott was pretty funny)
- Swordfish (Another decent action / heist flick I enjoyed)
- Unbreakable ( although I did hear there could be a Split 2 tie-in with Bruce Willis interested)
- Zombieland
- Bandits (Bruce Willis + Billy Bob Thorton + Cate Blanchett made this pretty great)
I'm sure more will come to me.

Return of the Jedi
Ha! We got that. It’s called Truce at Bakura.
Good news. Those are coming. In fact, the Unbreakable/Split crossover, GLASS, is filming now and is scheduled for release on January 18, 2019. And, yes, Bruce Willis is in the movie.
Zombieland Too is also aiming for 2019.
I know the answer to this. Return of the Jedi.
"Split" was "Unbreakable 2".
Shyamalan said the bad guy was originally in the original drafts of the "Unbreakable" script. As one website notes:

This is another one I wouldn't mind, and for a while I was hoping it still might happen, but Steven Spielberg seem to just keep adding more and more movies to his schedule with no mention of Tintin 2.
