8 Terrible Movies That Could Totally Be Saved By A Remake
28 April 2013 12:54 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Hey, bad movies can have good ideas too. The history of cinema is filled with duds that no matter how stupid or cheesy will always be remembered for their excellent premise.
This is a bit different than films that endure simply because they are horrible in all the right ways. For example you could never remake The Room, Birdemic, or Troll 2. Doing so would result in complete failures as the reason why people like those movies is because they were hilariously awful from the beginning. There’s nothing to salvage. The same goes for films that are not nearly as bad as people make them out to be like Waterworld.
Yet so many bad films with cult classic status could be remade to be outstanding films. Some ideas just deserve a second try.

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #13 - Watchmen (2009)
14 April 2013 1:56 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #13...
Watchmen, 2009.
Directed by Zack Snyder.
Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino and Patrick Wilson.
For a long while, it looked as if we'd never get to watch the Watchmen. Writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons' sprawling superhero opus was first optioned back in 1986, and passed through the hands of several studios, screenwriters and directors over the next two decades, including Sam Hamm (Batman), Terry Gilliam (Brazil), Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler), Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy) and David Hayter (X-Men).
Eventually the task of adapting what is arguably the greatest comic book story of all-time fell to Zack Snyder, who was fresh off another hit comic book movie in 300. Snyder chose to adopt the »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #15 - V for Vendetta (2005)

Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #15...
V for Vendetta, 2005.
Directed by James McTeigue.
Starring Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Rupert Graves, Stephen Rea, Stephen Fry, John Hurt, Roger Allam, Ben Miles and Eddie Marsan.
Alan Moore's chilling tale about a dystopian near-future England under fascist control comes to life courtesy of The Matrix creators Andy and Lana Wachowski, who adapted the opus for the screen alongside first-time director James McTeigue and Agent Smith himself Hugo Weaving in 2005.
The film sees future Thor star Natalie Portman as Evey, a young woman who gets caught up in a revolution after being saved from a gang by V (Weaving), a mysterious Guy Fawkes-masked vigilante and freedom fighter looking to spark a revolution against the brutal totalitarian government. A solid box office hit upon release, »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #23 - Blade (1998)
4 April 2013 7:09 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #23...
Blade, 1998.
Directed by Stephen Norrington.
Starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, N'Bushe Wright, Donal Logue, Udo Kier, Arly Jover and Traci Lords.
While Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000) is generally credited with kick-starting the current superhero movie boom, it was actually Marvel's Blade who got in there first, with the Daywalker arriving on the screen two years earlier - and just one year after the disastrous Batman & Robin - thanks to director Stephen Norrington, screenwriter David S. Goyer and star Wesley Snipes.
After the success of Blade, Wesley Snipes returned for the sequels Blade II and Blade: Trinity, but turned down the opportunity to headline the subsequent small screen spin-off Blade: The Series due to an ongoing lawsuit with New Line Cinema, with Kirk »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #50 - #26
1 April 2013 11:42 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
As you'll no doubt be aware if you're a regular around these parts, we're big fans of comic book movies here at Flickering Myth. So with the 2013 comic book movie season about to get underway in April with the arrival of Oblivion and Iron Man 3, we thought we'd spend the month counting down our picks for the 25 Greatest Comic Book Movies, beginning on April 1st and running right through to the UK release of Iron Man 3 on April 25th.
Over the past few weeks, the writing team here at Flickering Myth have been putting together their own individual top tens, which we've used to compile our list. Any film based upon a comic book was eligible for inclusion, providing it had received a theatrical release either in North America or here in the UK. So, if you're a huge fan of David Hasselhoff and you're outraged as to »

5 Mind Boggling Casting Decisions (that nearly happened)
23 March 2013 3:32 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director’s point of view.
Ah, the joys of hindsight, such as they are. It is so easy to look back on what came about from the small decisions coming together to form an unforgettable whole, and laugh at those who didn’t display prescient vision. This applies to the world of film too, of course, where even the most minor of calls can prove absolutely crucial. There is a reason that these guys are paid so much, after all. But sometimes retrospect shouldn’t be required to spot a blatantly dunce call, even if its long term implications probably would have been hidden from view. The executives and the blindsided directors were, on occasion, spared by fate’s demand for fruition.
Casting is a huge part of filmmaking, and many a movie has »

James McAvoy Circling ‘The Crow’ Reboot?
25 February 2013 8:20 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Relativity’s The Crow reboot has been stop-and-go, in terms of progress over the years. First, Stephen Norrington (Blade, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) passed on directing, prompting Mark Wahlberg to skip on playing Eric Draven.
Then Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) assumed the helm, quickly lining up Bradley Cooper to star. Their now-abandoned version progressed to the concept art stage, as evidenced by illustrations showing Cooper as a vengeful Goth rocker back from the grave. However, a dispute over distribution rights between Relativity and the Weinstein Company held up development for nearly a year before it was settled, resulting in both Fresnadillo and Cooper moving on.
Bloody Disgusting is reporting that the X-Men movies’ young Professor X, James McAvoy is currently eying the Crow franchise do-over, setting him up for the role that Brandon Lee ...

Concept art for Sam Raimi's version of The Lizard
3 January 2013 12:31 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Last year's The Amazing Spider-Man had certainly had its fair share of critics, but if there was one aspect of the Andrew Garfield-headlined reboot that came under particular fire, it was director Marc Webb's choice of design for Spidey's nemesis, The Lizard (Rhys Ifans).
Well, thanks to concept artist Constantine Sekeris (via ComicBookMovie), we now have an insight into the direction that Sam Raimi would have gone with the character, with Sekeris releasing two images of The Lizard as he could have appeared alongside Tobey Maguire's wall-crawler.
The images in question were produced for Spider-Man 2, back when Raimi was planning to have Spider-Man go up against Dylan Baker's Dr. Curt Connors, Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus and James Franco's Harry Osborn. Fortunately, he was convinced otherwise...
Be sure to head on over to Constantine Sekeris' site for more concept art from the likes of Spider-Man 3, »
