Re: What Movie Would You Remake?
Oh, I wasn't saying it couldn't be fun, but maybe it would be better as a sequel, of sorts.
The cannonball run (or what ever it's called now) has been run for decades, there is a lot of other stories and characters out there.
The original film was such an oddball mixture of celebrities. You had stars, musicians, comedians, tv stars, sports stars, country singers, James Bond, a game show host and (somewhat unknown) Jackie Chan playing a Japanese race car driver named Jackie Chan. All of this in a film written by an Automotive journalist and Directed by a stunt man.. It wasn't the best movie in the world, but..
I can't see Hollywood duplicating this type of film, besides the casting costs, the movie would turn into a boring commercial for whatever car GM is pushing today.
