Reboot

This movie NEEDS to be rebooted. I mean, I love the original, like nothing I've seen, its funny and witty and a cult classic. But its very underrated.

Anyway, I think a reboot would be perfect ONLY and ONLY if Madelaine and Helen were Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. The chemistry between those two was so good in Bridewars that I want to see more of them together.

Kate would be a perfect Madelaine and Anne would make an excellent Helen. I think Bruce Willis's part could be played by a dorky Bradley Cooper.

Hey, Kate is Goldie's daughter.. would be nice LOL

I am okay with thinking about it but you have NO fantasy.
Your cast ..is the worst Amercian sterotype.

dorky

No. Absolutely not. Most of the reboots out there suck.

Proper, remastered from the original film, release on Blu-Ray first. :)

It's an underrated film but what can a reboot bring to the table?

Of all the remakes and reboots, only "Battlestar Galactica" nails it. Partly because the original was so inconsistently handled. All the others just go through the motions, change the premise, and think that niftier special effects will somehow make it better.

No remake please. A re release with deleted scenes would be nice though.

I agree

the whole point of original casting is "against-cast". bruce who usually is the action hero of the 90s played the wimp. meryl, a serious actress played a bad actress and using cgi. goldie hawn the 'cutesy' blonde plays the frump and then the redhead sexpot.

i love it. if they reboot, i hope they maintain the right amount of camp, the dark humour and REALLY good casting.

Would be interesting to see it with updated effects. The CGI looks terrible lol!!

No, although a great movie, I'll say leave it at that. The special effects would be great if a similar film was made these day, but like you say, it's a classic & I feel it shouldn't be tampered with.

I could see a remake, but I'm not sure its at all necessary. The effects still look good. I'm not sure what a new cast could bring to the table.
