old needs to be remade + updated


Love this movie! But as I saw in other posts such as "very racist".All movie companies did it as everyone should knows watch a western from the time once. Also saw some one say "demeaning to women". Once again it was made in 1960 can't expect much in that department. But I would love to see it remade updated for the 21 century yes :) no :( So to that I say get to work Disney do what you did with pirates lol!!!!!

I would watch a remake but it would not be as good as the original. Disney has done remakes before(The Parent Trap, Race to Witch Mountain, Freaky Friday, The Shaggy Dog) and they were never as good as the original.

Actually, I didn't like the original Freaky Friday but I loved the remake! To each his own. Also, personally I wouldn't want to see this movie remade. It's a classic.

It's a classic. Remakes are never as good. But it ought to be released on Blu Ray, it's a perfect candidate for it.

Nah. Keep it in it's time. What's worse is to be remade with the same 19th century setting with 21st century mindset.

Disney does a fairly decent job with remakes of their films, but I don't think this one needs a remake or update. Lost in Space is sort of an updated version of SFR. The family's last name is also Robinson.

No. Especially the awfully fine cast.

"do what you did with pirates!"

The worst recommendation I have ever read with regard to producing a watchable movie.

They would ruin the story if they remade it now. Nowadays, Hollywood is incapable of making a movie set in the past without giving the characters a modern mindset.
