With today's special effects and the success of "The Passion of The Christ", I think they should attempt, faithfully of course, a new adaptation of the Old Testament. Talk about an epic story worthy of the Big Screen which hasn't been done perfectly yet.
sharePeter Jackson could do it.
Give him enough budget for about 300 hours of run time (Old Testament only).
And he has to do the Book of Enoch, too!
Peter Jackson would probably make Sarah a warrior princess who saves Abraham from the Edomite kings. He'd also cut out most of the genealogies and make Noah Adam's son.
Psalms 118:8--It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
As long as he's sticking to the facts!!! I hope he includes that part where Sarah battles Cain for the Holy Grail.

lmfao. Thank you for that laugh

I hope he includes that part where Sarah battles Cain for the Holy Grail.
As long as it included Samson going all Rambo on buku Philistines, I'm there. I should get on a weapons forum and debate the effectiveness of the jawbone of an ass vs. a belt fed M60.
shareBut it has been remade...as a series by Mark Burnett and his wife Roma Downey from Touched by An Angel. I watched a couple episodes, but they didn't quite appeal except for the FX part where the Red Sea is parted in Episode Two.
The characters do look more realistic...well as we'd imagine them to look at the time...however, it moves rather quickly and takes you right up to the Crucifixion of Christ in episodes. Some of you may like it.
Remake The Bible? Heresy!

Why isn't there anymore talk about a Remake?
I thought the thread was going so well...

Why do you people persist in moaning about remakes? They are consistently of lesser quality than the original. LEAVE IT ALONE.

Ocean's 11, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, Dawn of the Dead, The Longest Yard, Halloween, Twelve Monkeys... just to name a few remakes that didn't go over just too terribly.

Indeed. Pick up and do the second half of Genesis, as was the original intention maybe. But noooooooooooooooooooooo, don't remake this. It would be like trying to remake the Cistine Chapel with a roller.
shareI remind you that if there were no remakes we wouldn't have had TITANIC, Gladiator, Alien or 300. To say nothing of Passion of the Christ, Pearl Harbor, Casino Royale and scores of other worthy films.
I will admit I could have done without the remake of House of Wax (itself a remake of Mystery of the Wax Museum), My Bloody Valentine, Halloween, Planet of the Apes, The Mummy, The Hills Have Eyes (actually didn't need the original on that one, either), and pretty much anything that started life as a horror film.
Remakes tend to suck because film makers tend to "update" them too much in a ,isguided attempt to make them TOO modern. If, for example, they made a remake of Gone With The Wind, it would be ridiculous if, in attempting to "clean up" the dated stereotypes of Mammy and Prissy they were to have Mammy say something like "Oh no you didn't!"
A remake of this film would succeed if the producer and director both agreed to follow the original script (issued as a photo-illustrated paperback at the time of the film's release) and NOT to make George Lucas's fatal mistake of throwing CGI and special effects into every scene.
The majesty of the words are carried by the simplicity of the themes. The complexity of the narrative is contrasted by the singularity of the moral center. Embellishing the source to make it hip, young and urban would be fatal.
"If you don't know the answer -change the question."
Would be interesting with new technology, but I bet people will be offended, and lots will denounce the movie soley on the creationism thing.
Sequels based on later bible stories would be nice. All the way of to Revelations maybe. Or just non-Jesus tales, we've got enough Christ films, time to see new things adapted to the screen.

George Lucas should direct the remake. Natalie Portman can play Eve, and Adam turns into Darth Vader after eating the apple.

Actually, there was a TV-movie called "In the Beginning" made in 2000 by NBC. Creation to the death of Moses was compressed into 2 hours and 40 minutes, so a lot of stories were left out, including Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, and Sodom and Gomorrah. But I kinda liked how quickly the story of Adam and Eve was done in the 2000 movie--some of the scenes in this movie seem to lag on forever. And the 2000 movie had awesome special effects for Creation.
shareSome of it was also remade in the TV movie GENESIS: FROM CREATION TO THE FLOOD. I got it on DVD, not as good.
