Screaming for a remake


Would a remake be better than this one or worse?

reply

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Some monochrome gritty re-boot toned down to PG-13 but pretending to be aimed at a more adult audience.

Darkman was more about Raimi's take on the superhero genre and infused with a 1930s universal horror vibe a re-make would throw all that out the window.

Raimi taking a stab at a lose sequel, possible ignoring the straight to video movies, I wouldn't mind.

Definitely worse like 99.9% of remakes, this is a classic and can't believe it gets an average mark below 7.

Worse. The original was a product of its time. If they remade it today, the film would probably take itself too seriously. We're lucky to have the original

it’s a cool franchise to expand on and already has been with sequels, tv shows, books and comics. but nothing really hit as much as the original. i guess it’s not as asked for as much as evil dead so they aren’t rushing anything.

maybe he can join the mcu since marvel made the comic i think.
