Perfect timing for a remake?
This is a cult classic, so I apologize if the idea alone is offensive, but this movie could be remade with some very interesting twists.
Just some food for thought:
If the nuclear blast was the cause of the growth in the original, I think HGH or steriod use could be the cause in a remake.
If the man was a "monster" in the original, in our current sex-obsessed pop-culture society, wouldnt a modern giant be more of an icon to be exploited?
Would the military be so quick to try and kill off the giant, or rather try to manipulate him as a weapon?
I doubt any kind of remake would look anything like the classic. I suppose it would be a re-imagining, such as what seems to be the trend lately. But I for one think it would be entertaining, even if on a SciFi Original Movie budget/format.
Plus there are some talented actors who could pull this off!
Not that it makes much of a difference. I know that I'm probably the only one who would like it.
And yes, I realize the HULK is probably fitting the bill already for this genre, but all that CGI/comic book stuff isnt as interesting as this movie could be!
