Would would you want in a remake?
If Reptilicus was remade, what would you want to see?

Keep the Danish setting.

Actually... keeping the danish setting... maybe hire danish actors who is known outside Denmark(Connie Nielsen, Ulrich Thomsen, Iben Hjejle, Jesper Christensen, Mads Mikkelsen)... and have Viggo Mortensen play the american-danish general just for the hell of it.
Keep it a danish styled film in narrative and action wise. Just to keep it different. Keep it a mixture of Cloverfield, Festen and Brothers... grounded and unbearably realistic.
Make the dragon inspiration more obvious and maybe work it up from with some viking heritage (dragon ships)... maybe have the drillers hit a tomb/prison the vikings created for the animal... to keep it hidden for all time.
Keep the flying, lose the ooze... show Repitilicus burning down Hamburg. Design Repitilicus to fit with dragon ships.
...and for god sake don't make it a Hollywood film.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
good ideas. the story was decent. a complete reptile regenerated from a section of tail was not a bad idea. but the film was so horribly filmed. it looked like something kids with an 8mm film camera would come up with. please some decent production values.
