When it comes to remakes the reaction from GS is normally a negative one, and who can blame us? Hollywood is running out of ideas, so they often try to appeal to newer audiences that are not familiar with cult classics. After seeing how many people reacted to the Evil Dead, Carrie and Godzilla remake it’s clear that some reboots marked to hit the big screens will have quit an impact. Hopefully all mentioned future reboots will make it to the silver screen. Let’s have a look at GeekShizzle’s list of 10 Movie Reboots to Look Forward to.
Also see:
1. IT
The film that caused many sleepless nights is back to haunt us again. The Stephen King adaptation was one of the best made-for-TV Horror films ever made. The story follows a group of kids called the Losers Club that encounter a creature called “It”, which preys on children and whose favorite form is that of a sadistic clown called Pennywise. When the creature resurfaces, the kids are called upon to regroup again, this time as adults, even though they have no memory of the first battle.
Computers have impacted the way that movies are made now, with better CGI the “IT” remake should be an interesting watch. Hopefully modern film technology can assist to make the reboot even more terrifying than the original. An added benefit is the assistance from top horror director Cary Fukunaga.
Fukunaga won the directing award at the Sundance Film Festival for his drama Sin Nombre. He is attached to develop HBO’s True Detective, which has Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey attached as stars.
Update: Stephen King IT Reboot Moves To New Line Cinema
2. Poltergeist
MGM confirmed they are moving forward with their remake of Poltergeist, a 1982 Steven Spielberg masterpiece that has been known as one of the defining films in its genre. Monster House director Gil Kenan, not very known for his achievements besides Monster House and City Of Ember, has been tasked with the huge responsibility to bring the cult classic back to life.
The original Poltergeist is one of my favorite horror films, and it will be very difficult for Kenan to live up to my expectations and other horror film fans alike. Producer Sam Raimi, best known for directing the cult horror Evil Dead series, will join the list of hopefuls to steer the ship.
Poltergeist tells the story of a family who’s tormented by the many spirits that inhabit their home, which is built on an old Indian burial ground.
3. Spawn
Rumours on the web have surfaced that there will be a Spawn reboot and Jamie Foxx will take on the mantle as Al Simmons, the reluctant soldier of the Devil. The script is almost complete and hopefully soon the casting.
Spawn’s story is about an assassin named Al Simmons who is double-crossed and murdered by his evil boss Jason Wynn. Al makes a deal with the devil and returns to earth as Spawn to see his wife. He is ordered by the devil’s minion, The Clown, to kill Wynn. Wynn has made a deal with the clown too and is suppose to destroy the world with a deadly virus that will help start Armageddon and allow Hell to attack Heaven. Spawn must choose between Good & Evil.
Todd McFarlane’s Spawn is an animated television series which aired on HBO from 1997 through 1999. It is also released on DVD as a film series.
Here is what Todd McFarlane had to say about the reboot:
“One of the things that happened is after the first movie came out I started the toy company and sort of got distracted. But these days, as you might imagine, with the [Hollywood] success of Batman and Spider-Man and some of the Marvel titles, everybody’s on a comic-book buying binge and the phone constantly rings. My attitude toward it is I can’t get my head wrapped around some big special-effects movie with a supervillain in there. There will be plenty of those and they’ve done pretty well. I’ve always seen Spawn as being cut from a different cloth. It’s more of an urban, psychological story that’s being told. The answer I’ve given the last few years is that Spawn should be a small-budget movie in which the only thing that’s out of the ordinary is this thing that intellectually we know as Spawn and there would only be a handful of people that see it. I call it “it” because it never talks, it’s just a force of nature. Really, the story revolves around the people who are trying to decide: “Is the ghost alive? Is the shadow actually moving?” When I give that pitch, some of the executives scratch their heads. To a lot of people, a movie where the [title] character doesn’t talk doesn’t make any sense. There have been a few movies like that. “Alien,” you know, that guy didn’t say much. Or ” Jaws,” the shark didn’t have too many speaking lines. “Jaws” is the closest example, the movie wasn’t about the shark, it’s about the people chasing the shark.”
4. Daredevil
David Slade is set to direct Daredevil, rumors are already circulating about the film’s plot which could be based on the work of comic book legend Frank Miller. Daredevil tells the story where fate deals young orphan Matt Murdock a strange hand when he is doused with hazardous waste. The accident leaves Matt blind but also gives him a heightened “radar sense” that allows him to “see” far better than any man. Years later Murdock has grown into a man and becomes a respected criminal attorney. But after he’s done his “day job” Matt takes on a secret identity as “The Man Without Fear,” Daredevil, the masked avenger that patrols the neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen and New York City to combat the injustice that he cannot tackle in the courtroom.
Miller’s “Born Again” storyline redefined Daredevil during the 1980s – and now Slade may be drawing from that source material as inspiration for the reboot. Ben Affleck will is not be expected to reprise his role as the titular hero.
The rights to the Daredevil character are reverting to Marvel and Disney from Fox, a result of the collapsed sequel that would have been directed by Joe Carnahan.
That’s why a Daredevil reboot, Marvel or otherwise, never came about. Fox still held the rights. Affleck didn’t want to do a sequel because “wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn’t want to do again soon.” In 2008, Jason Statham pursued a possible role in the sequel, with Frank Miller’s backing. But it never came to be.
A Daredevil reboot, Marvel controlled, would be way better!

5. RoboCop
RoboCop tells the story of Alex Murphy (RoboCop), a cybernetic policeman. A creation of a vast corporation, he fights crime and occasional corporate conspiracy in the near-future of Old Detroit.
The screenplay will be dealt with Joshua Zetumer, Nick Shenk, James Vanderbilt and David Self; Shenk wrote the screenplay for the critically acclaimed “Gran Torino”; while Self on the other hand wrote “Road to Perdition” and “Thirteen Days”; Vanderbilt on the other hand wrote “The Amazing Spiderman” and “Zodiac”.
It appears that this movie will focus more on Alex Murphy’s transition from man to machine, and how it affects his environment and those around him, while the original film treated the subject it didn’t do it as seriously as it was needed to be. So doing a more serious focus on the character’s transition will be a nice thing to see on the film.
The majority of the cast consists of well known and experienced actors. Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Harley and Michael Keaton are part of the main cast of the upcoming remake. Alex Murphy will be played by Joel Kinnaman (who you might remember from AMC’s “The Killing”).
6. The Crow
The 1994 adaptation of “The Crow” will always be the best on screen rendition of the famous graphic novel by James O’Barr. Director Alex Proyas created a dark, violent, gothic fairy tale that was carried by its star, Brandon Lee, who was killed during the production. The many sequels that followed are far below par and failed to stand agains the original that received instant cult status. ‘The Crow” tells the story of a poetic guitarist Eric Draven who is brought back to life by a crow a year after he and his fiancée are murdered. The crow guides him through the land of the living, and leads him to his killers. One by one, Eric gives these thugs a taste of their own medicine. However their leader Top-Dollar, a world-class crime lord who will dispatch his enemies with a Japanese sword and joke about it later, will soon learn the legend of the crow and the secret to the vigilante’s invincibility.
The reboot has seen many creative teams come and go, including the likes of Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, and James McAvoy for the lead role and filmmakers Stephen Norrington, Nick Cave, and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo eager to steer the project in the directors chair. Now, Ed Pressman has F. Javier Gutierrez lined up the director with a script from Cliff Dorfman “Warrior”. There are talks that Eric Draven will be played by Tom Hiddleston (Loki from “Thor”).
According to The Wrap:
“Hiddleston recently had dinner with producers and sent them a makeup test that he did on his own in London. He will undergo a proper makeup test in the coming days, as the character’s appearance is important to fans of the franchise, who should be delighted with the casting of a major member of the Marvel universe.”
“Hiddleston appealed to producers who were enamored with his ability to project both a light and dark side,”
* Update:
7. Highlander
The Highlander reboot is based on the original 1986 fantasy film starring Christopher Lambert, about an immortal, sword-wielding Scotsman There are rumours that Ryan Reynolds will play Connor MacLeod in the Highlander reboot. The remake was suppose to be helmed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later). Fresnadillo couldn’t find common ground on exactly what the film should be and jumped ship after nearly a year of work behind the scenes, citing creative differences.
The “28 Weeks” director didn’t see eye-to-eye with the higher-ups at Summit Entertainment (Considering this is also the studio that brought us the Twilight saga), you have to wonder what that argument was like. It is a big blow to the production considering Fresnadillo’s background and required influence to see the cult classic through. He originally left the Crow reboot to join the Highlander project. The question that comes to mind, will Fresnadillo’s departure influence the “Green Lantern” star Ryan Reynolds to leave this project as well?
8. Master of the Universe
For those of you who are not familiar with He-Man and the Masters of the universe, He-Man is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Masters of the Universe franchise. In most variations, he is the alter ego of Prince Adam. He-Man and his friends defend the realm of Eternia and the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor. I just realized how insanely geeky the previous sentence is, I might as well put on my wizard hat and robe whist reading it.
At the helm of the project is director Jon M. Chu, who is known for two films in the dance-centric “Step Up” series and a documentary feature about Justin Bieber. Chu was involved in the production of the disappointing follow-up of “G.I. Joe Retaliation”, it remains to be seen whether or not Chu is the right man to bring our favorite childhood hero back to life. Hopefully Biebs will not lead as He-man, perhaps She-Man is more fitting.
Like “G.I. Joe”, Masters of the Universe is a franchise near and dear to an entire generation of geeks who grew up with the 1980s animated series, its numerous action figures and the 1987 big-screen adaptation starring Dolph Lundgren.
According to IGN, the reason we haven’t heard any concrete details on Chu’s Masters of the Universe is because he and his creative team are taking the time to hone their approach to the material.
“We’re still early, but we’re deep in experimenting. This is the most fun phase for me because we get to try everything we’ve ever wanted to try in ‘Masters,’ and then we get to throw out all the things that don’t work – which is most of it – to know what our right tone is, where we’re going to head with it. And it’s a very important phase because it shows you the direction we’re going to go in the future. We’re very early. We don’t know a lot yet, other than we’re playing around having a lot of fun.”
The new Masters of the Universe may take a bit longer to hit theatres.
9. Pet Sematary
Another Stephen King adaptation made our list with much anticipation from the GS team. A new film version of Stephen King’s book Pet Sematary is set to be made. The plot of the book follows a family who move into a new house beside a busy road. When the family’s child is knocked down and killed, he’s put to rest in a nearby burial ground – and then rises up from the dead.
The Attic director Mary Lambert helmed a 1989 film based on the book, and now The LA Times reports that 1408 screenwriter Matthew Greenberg has written a script for the new project. He is now set to deliver the script to the Paramount studio, who are reportedly looking for a “high-level director” to take on the project.
10. The stand
Originally published in 1978 (and re-released in 1990), The Stand tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world resulting from a virus which wiped out most of Earth’s population. The main focus is on a single group of survivors and their good vs. evil battle against Randall Flagg, a demonic figure who wreaks havoc (the character also appears in various other King books).
Ben Affleck’s has really proved himself as a worthy contender for the directors seat with productions such as “Gone Baby Gone” and “The Town”. He has been selected to head up the project, unfortunately we haven’t received any recent updates for the version of Stephen King’s (yes, the third Stephen King novel on our list) novel “The stand”. Affleck has been in the development stage for a while and the progress on this is taking much longer than anticipated, Affleck has been working with writer David Kajganich for about a year now and hopefully we can expect something soon?!
When asked about the status of the movie, he had this to say:
“Right now we’re having a very hard time. But I like the idea—it’s like The Lord of the Rings in America. And it’s about how we would reinvent ourselves as a society. If we started all over again, what would we do?”
Oh NOOOOOO, not Poltergeist!! Why can’t Hollywood leave classic films alone! Several of these need no reboot. :(
Christel: Hopefully Raimi will come through on this project and deliver something spectacular. His work on Evil Dead has been stellar, he has big shoes to fill!
“Cemetery”…
SamG: “Sematary”
SamG:
The movie is indeed called “Pet Sematary” (and so is the book) because it’s supposed to be written by small children who still don’t know the word’s correct spelling.
Please, do not ruin IT. I mean, they had to cut soooo much out of the made-for-TV movie & now they intend to make it a movie movie??? I know I’m pleading with no one & I know it is irrelevant because they will continue to remake everything assuming computer technology will make it better.
Trin: I think we are all waiting in anticipation. Hopefully with director Cary Fukunaga on-board we might be in for a treat. Many fans of the book have cried out with concern that a another attempt at this will be a mistake, we have to wait and see.
“It” sucked and could not get any worse. “The Stand” was awesome and could not get any better. Who cares about the rest?
We don’t need a pet sematary reboot. There was no need for a sequel. That is why King never wrote one. I am not looking forward to a Highlander reboot with Ryan Reynolds. He is nothing like McCloud. Crow reboot sounds bad. Poltergeist reboot would be a bad idea.
I’d love to read this article again when you’ve updated it!
Yeah He-Man’s only been in early stages of development for who knows how many years now. It’s getting ridiculous. It could be such a wonderful film with all the infinite creative power possible now. They need to get this film made already! The old one was really underwhelming.
Indeed. there’s really no excuse to not make this a truly awesome movie. Alas, we have to wait…
Latest rumours on the reboot is that Channing Tatum will be He-Man, and the movie will be titled “MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 3D”. We’re not too sure about these. Channing Tatum?
The whole Tatum being He Man was an April fools joke,several movie sites mistook it for an actual official casting,though.
*sigh of relief*
We did some research and found that Jon M. Chu is no longer attached to direct and that the new Scrip writer is Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lone Ranger and the Zorro)
Yet, seeing as this has been in development for more than a decade, expect more changes.
This article is 100% grade A garbage. You’re spouting totally unfounded rumours. Do you have even one tangible source for this info, or are you just making stuff up as you go?
Well Tommy: We are in the process of gathering all the information and we will be posting updates with tangible resources if that will make you happy. In fact, we have already posted updates for these since April (with tangible resources). For your benefit we will add the links. And by the way, we are looking forward to these reboots, they have not been slated for release yet. So yes, as I am sure you are aware…or maybe not…half of the news that make the rounds on blogs and entertainment sites are rumors. Have fun telling the internet not to report accordingly.
I’m one more guy scratching his head at Todd MacFarlane’s idea for the Spawn reboot…
Indeed… any reboot of that will be better.
Spawn’s an awesome character, I’m not sure how they missed nailing it the first time. But did you see the animated series? That was awesome!
Loved it! I can’t help but look ahead to Venom that will get it’s own spider-man spin-off movie. If they can pull that off surely a Spawn reboot should be made.
Oh man. You and me both! I could imagine the Venom series having a sequel that creates Carnage but sort of leaves that towards the end… Basically, imagine the spin-off, “Venom”, colliding with say, Amazing Spider-man 4, to bring all the characters and finally, for the love of all that was truly amazing,…. “Amazing Spider-man 4: “MAXIMUM CARNAGE”.
I totally get what McFarland is saying…I don’t think that it should be as limited as he makes it sound (who am I to counter opinion the creator) but I think the point he is trying to make is in it’s roots Spawn as a character and even Image as a movement in the early 90’s was intended to step away from the Marvel Movement and the association with that Kirby Silver age standard.
(Even though every Image team was a Marvel rip off)
Spawn is not treated as basic as Spiderman vs Green Goblin or Batman vs Joker…Spawn’s whole thing is him trying to figure out his new existence and being an urban legend to the under belly of the city. He’s a rumor, a ghost story, he is not this guy who has a Spawn Cave and fights Violator from poisoning the water supply until next adventure.
But the world of Spawn is not the Marvel or DC world where people know and except that costumed people run around and have epic clashes. In Spawn’s universe the audience sees the world most people don’t The crime underworld and the spirit word. Spawn only exist between those worlds.
I don’t think a movie where he doesn’t talk would be interesting to main stream audiences, but I couldn’t agree more with McFarland that it should not be this HUGE budgeted mega production.
It should be simple straight forward, focused story set in “reality”
It has to be taken seriously and shouldn’t be PG-13.
Should have physiological horror elements and grounded crime drama elements. R is a must. The War flashbacks need to eco the consequences of a life cursed in Hell. Flashback scenes Simmons & Chapel should be handled with realistic war violence.
I don’t see them beating the original “Poltergeist” or “The Crow”, but I think “IT”, “Daredevil”, and “The Stand” are compelling re-makes.
As a tv mini series THE STAND was so incredible..I doubt they could or would even be as good let alone surpass it.As far as DD(Dare Devil)goes??It was a hit that wasn’t a hit and with Ben admitting that “wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn’t want to do again soon.” is a a reason I won’t be seeing Batman vs Superman.For an actor to call a comicbook character “a source of humiliation” is a slap to comicbook fans in general.
I remember The Stand starting strong, but I thought it lost steam and I don’t think I ever finished it. Granted, that was a long time ago.
I could go on about the movie “IT” but you need to read the book to see why a reboot would be in bad taste,on top of “IT” being a great tv film.”IT” is perfect.
Fans of the book have mixed emotions about the possibilities of a remake. Hopefully they will do it justice.
I doubt it.Have you seen the new updated “Shining”??Looked somewhat better,still I prefer Cubrics version.
The TV series had its flaws, but at least it cast a Jack Torrance who can act. Nicholson is a great lunatic…possibly the best actor to ever play a lunatic…but the source material called for so much more than lunacy. Jack Torrance, in King’s novel, was a loving (though deeply flawed) father and husband driven insane by slow degrees. Jack Nicholson in Kubrick’s imagining was nuts from the first time we saw him. This ruined the emotional core of the movie, which was otherwise brilliant. In King’s words, it had no soul.
Yeah I also thought Jack went crazy too soon. I didn’t have as emotional an attachment as I did in the novel. IN the novel I cared that he was going crazy and I feared for him as much as for his kid and wife. In the movie he was just the villain.
I really wish they reboot IT. I love IT when I was young. But I read the book much later and was disappointed that they had left some key things out. I also watched it again and must say It would look really good with modern technology. They would need to get kids who can really act though.
The Kubrick version was a disgrace to King’s great work.
Sammy Lane
Pardon me for saying this but I can not refuse. So that settles IT, (but who is the IT Girl?).
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE STUPID JAMIE FOXX AS AL SIMMONS!!!
Idris Elba would be a better fit
Djimon Hounsou a better one.
Idris Elba can’t be our Go To N!gga…
It’s like the 1st and only brother working white boys think of. I’m personally tired of hearing his name thrown around.
Plenty of other brothers in the game that are qualified.
LMAO same
Jamie Foxx was excellent as DJANGO who was totally badass. Shouldn’t play him short.
They don’t need to touch most of these movies. What’s with Hollywood? Are they are lacking in such creativity and originality that they have to keep going back remaking classics mucking them up? There is no way that any of these remakes are going to be good. They already messed up The Evil Dead, so they need to leave Highlander, Poltergeist, and The Crow alone ….period!
On top of that, Who’s going to be He-Man? We haven’t seen a Master’s of the Universe since the 80’s with Dolph Lundgren, so I would hate to see a muscle-bound character like that replaced with Colin Farrell or Orlando Bloom …let’s get real. Plus, Michael Jai White still looks good, so why won’t they let him get a second shot at Spawn? The new movie can’t get any worse if they do that!
JMO!
I just want to know where the Odyssey is in this list? Amazing potential in that movie and can be played on Troy.. Just dont get it
There shouldn’t be a Pet Semetary remake! It’s too good to be ruined! As for IT, it’s just going to be a mess of CGI, the only real reason it was scary was because of practical effects, something modern day Hollywood is afraid to use!
I love the book and i love the movie. but IT doesn’t need a remake. Tim Curry did the best Pennywise that could be possibly done. I don’t see anyone coming across as scary as he was
the crow should be left alone Brandon Lee definitely did the movie perfectly
Agreed. There are plenty of other movies to recycle, because that is all hollywood does anyways. But this one is a classic, because it’s more then just a movie, it’s the last moments of somebody’s life captured on film. They should show some respect towards the memory of Brandon Lee, and go butcher something else, or maybe one of these hacks could actually try writing something semi-original for a change.
I Hope They Follow the exact sequence for all these revived films some most remakes suck but so far few came with better detail. Tho i am excited to see film maker bring back the classics
i will not watch a re-make of The Crow ever
Will it ever beat the original… Never.. will we watch it…. Tempted!
There can never be another Crow without Brandon Lee …cult classics should never be messed with…it was already perfect….I will not be tempted at ALL …Brandon Lee will roll over in his grave
Yet another person who must not have watched Poltergeist before summing up the plot. There was NO indian burial ground. It was just a regular cemetery that had the headstones moved to make room for a new housing development. Makes me question the validity of the entire article.
Sanguinius: Sorry to disappoint you but according to multiple resources and the fact that we have seen the movie a million times, the “home built over an Indian burial ground” checks out.

–Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200–
Fucking Jamie Foxx as the best anti-hero of all time?? Ughh.. You know what that means? Hollywood is going to water it down to another PG-13 crap fest, in hopes of making a ton of money…. Fuck it I quit…..
We’re not to keen on seeing him as Electro in Spider-man… looks like he found a passion for superhero villains.
Personally I don’t care if he is Electro… I have no interest in watching the new Spiderman film… I’m just tired of Hollywood casting the same actors for multiple comic book characters.. And I’ve had my fill of Jamie Foxx and his choppy acting style, ruining every movie he is in..
Have you peeped DJANGO? He was fucking dope in that! Sooo badass.
Hmmm… A list of movies that DON’T need to be remade. Interesting…
Are they running out of good horror movies? Why so many reboots? I would rather see new material.
also, spy kids reboot in 2014.
Spawn doesn’t work in my eyes, a hero that is the pawn of the devil…ridiculous. But He man would be a good idea if it was like the latest cartoon and surely you cannot improve upon Highlander like Robocop.
I didn’t want to see Ben A. as Batman or Jamie F. as Electro or Spawn they are both bad actor’s. Spidey lost a bunch of doe because of that decision.
Not to mention the fact that the movie had no climax and satisfying ending. Spidey 2 is actually the second highest grossing movie of 2014 according to boxofficemojo.com. It raked in a total of $690 Million Worldwide. I’m sorry to say it but Marc Webb’s second installment sucked despite the box office success.
Todd MacFarlane: Michael Jai White is Spawn/Al Simmons not Jamie Fox… If Jamie is Al Simmons MJW still should be Spawn!!!
Brandon Lee is and always will be Eric Draven/The Crow. There is no other
Except in the original comic his last name is not mentioned…Draven was made up for the film.
But yeah
Leave The crow and Poltergeist alone!!!
I was that dude when it came to He-Man…I mean when I was a kid, I ate slept, breathed He-Man, even read and saved the mini comics that came with the figures, watched the show, played as him outside, loved, loved, loved it when I was a kid…until transformers came out and it was a wrap for the rest of the 80’s…
But that said, even I don’t want to see a Masters of The Universe again.
It’s one of those beloved things that really only works in the context of it’s time. You truly need the backdrop of the early 80’s, the collect-ability of the action figures and the way they were released in limited supply for limited times. It’s just something you can’t do now. I don’t even the
Dolph Lundgren movie worked for the same reason in the 80’s.
The Kids like me who were 7 & 8 collecting He-Man toys in 1982
were 12 & 13 by the time the movie dropped in 1987. I know every 1980’s parody movie wants to portray the 80’s like all it’s fads existed at once but they didn’t. A lot changed between 1982 – 1987. I just don’t think it would work. you either have to go full Ridley Scott – Making a pretentious self important He-Man, or make some silly been there done that LOTR wannabe starring someone like the Rock or Jason Statham.
The dude who made the Justin Beiber documentary, a film about some pre-pubescent kid who got famous because little girls liked the way he sounded on YouTube, is gonna make the Master’s of the Universe movie? Fuuuuuuuuuck! I already know it’s gonna be wack just off the fact he made a documentary about Justin Beaver… who the fuck ever would want to do that? EVER? That’s not even a thing. Don’t fuck with He-Man. He’s O.G. BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL FUCK YOU!
