I'm not saying it should be remade (it still holds up pretty well as it is, even 70 years later). But if it were to be, can you honestly think of a more appropriate director? I mean, just look at The Lord of the Rings and King Kong. This is exactly his kind of thing. I can just imagine what he'd do with the flying horse, the genie, and the giant spider.
shareWell, in just looking at his KING KONG, Jackson (to me at least), has this tendency to put things on overload and if they ever wanted him to do a remake of this film, I could see that same overload again. We don’t need to see a certain amount of unnecessary fat in an already great story.
Maybe some like Guillermo del Toro would be better suited. HOWEVER, no way am I in favor of remaking this one!
I'd be curious to watch a superproduction made by someone with a more Middle Eastern sensibility.
shareSomeone like Tarseem Singh!

Err, not sure I'd want to see Ahmad and Abu walk for three hours.
shareAnd that would just in Part 1.
shareAnd only the first quarter of part one.

Of course, if we're talking old (err, young) Peter Jackson it'd be quite different. I may actually want to see that.

Yeah, before he became a critically acclaimed and important filmmaker and was still making low-bow, pulpish garbage that had such cheap elements as entertainment value.
I am sure Jackson would be able to stretch this to a trilogy.
Its that man again!!
Jackson directing would mean everything shot from the knees up, plenty of medium shots and banal epic-speak. No thanks.
