He's said to be in talks regarding both films, whether he actually signs up for either of them remains to be seen.

Yup, this was the first film that entered my mind when I read the thread title.
I'm actually pretty surprised Hollywood hasn't done this one yet; it seems like they've been bankrupt of original ideas for years, hence the endless parade of re-makes, sequels/prequels, and reboots.
'Soylent Green'
The 1973 film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room!, by Harry Harrison -from Wikipedia.
I'd like to see Brad Pitt as the lead role and directed by David Fincher.

Arsenic and Old Lace with? Meryl Streep or the lady from The Queen(name escapes me)?
That would be Helen Mirren. Not a bad idea. Or maybe Judy Densch?
Maybe Jim Carrey as Mortimer. And John Malkovich or Jeremy Irons as Jonathan? (Or are they getting too old for the part?)
Who does old-school menacing these days? And would they have to update the "Boris Karloff" jokes for modern audiences?
Viggo Mortensen? And maybe change it to Robert Englund?
You'd probably want to use the name of a character instead. There really aren't any modern-day horror stars with the same sort of name-recognition value.
"He said I looked like . . . Freddy Krueger!"
And maybe Gary Oldman as Jonathan?
Seconded. So much so, I walked out of the theater hoping for a better remake one day. Movies are movies, and comics are comics, but tonally, visually and character-wise it wouldn't have hurt to be much closer to the book.
I would also throw a good remake of Lost In Space onto the list.
Masters of the Universe...keep Frank Langella as Skeletor since he stole the show with his performance as the Dark Lord of Eternia but do a proper adaption, one can be done without including too many cartoony moments. I'm really curious to see how the upcoming adaption is going to be.
Daredevil...the original was decent, not as bad as I thought it would be but I'd like to see another movie, you could keep Affleck as Matt Murdock/Daredevil though.
Superman...I'm a big Superman Returns fan and I'd rather not have this thread turn into a Returns bashing feast like what usually happens when people mention the name Superman and movie, I'm just saying I'd like another reboot. J.J's was interesting but way too out there in terms of drastically changing the concepts of the mythology.
X3: The Last Stand...an awfull movie that I can scarely watch again even though I was tempted several times before Wolverine came out. As with the majority of the film franchises fans I would have loved to seen Bryan Singer and his writers would have concluded their trilogy. I know that bits and pieces have been discussed in interviews...and that the trio were suppossed to a year arc on Ultimate X-Men using a reworked story from their X3 ideas but still.
Spider-Man 3: I don't mind that Venom is still in it...since let's face it people, we wanted to see Venom in this movie, we just didn't want him to be butchered and disgraced like he was and minimized to the extent. I would have had Peter face Harry as the Hobgoblin and then in the second half Venom...in fact now that I think about it I would have split the movies into two. Spider-Man 4 would have been about Peter facing Venom while dealing with the loss of Harry...
Spider-Man: I still love this movie...but I would have used Gwen Stacey as played by Reese Witherspoon (Yeah I know some people would've disputed this casting choice but I like her and think she can act) and have Gwen killed at the end by Norman as he tosses her of the George Washington Bridge.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: I've read online and heard from people here that Alan Moore wrote a treatment for the film that was meant to be different from his graphic novels but I would have done a proper adaption.

miraclefan: Jackson's King Kong took the original story and gave it depth, including making all the characters, including Kong, more three-dimensional. I've given up trying to figure out why other people find that a problem. I loved the original movie, but not so much I can't see the new one's good points. I can't say the same for others, including you I guess, but like I said, I don't care what you think.
As for Godzilla (and it's GODZILLA. The writer of Final Wars can go screw.), I'm getting kind of sick of people ting on plot lines that, by comparison to the original series, actually make some kind of perverted sense. You don't like "Prego" Godzilla? Fine, then riddle me this: In the original series, there is no female Godzilla, so where the f**k did Minya come from? At least "Zilla's" children have an origin story!
As for JJ trek, I've never found anything JJ Abrams had a hand in remotely entertaining. I haven't seen the new movie myself, but from what I've been hearing, I feel pretty justified in going with the percentages.
hyzmarca: No, he's a guy in a rubber suit, fighting other guys in rubber suits. Guys in rubber suits acting like giant animals. The word kaiju means "giant monster" not "wrathful force of mother nature". American Godzilla is three hundred feet tall, scaly and breathes fire. He's a fine addition to the concept.
Mistral: Why are you attributing hyzmarca's words to me?
