If they allowed me to re-make one movie, it would be the Robotech movie of anime fame. Macross and the other animations it was derived from were adult-oriented shows in which people in wars actually died, but the U.S. limitations and marketing of Robotech to younger children [pre-junior high?] harmed it. The shorter 2-3 hour format of a Robotech movie versus the dozens of hours in just the Macross saga (in both Japan and America) harmed it in my opinion as well.
Yes, I am a little of an anime nerd, in addition to being even more of an occasional science fiction reader and movie watcher; an obsession with Star Wars on a current thread... So if I had $250 million to re-make Robotech, I would make it a trilogy similar to Lord of the Rings, which was marketed to an older and possibly geekier demographic. I would recruit prominent actors such as -- or who compare to -- Orlando Bloom, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lloyd, and Liv Tyler for live acting. I would cut out the juvenile music and add more of the symphonic compositions that resemble Star Wars. I would keep the mecha, but add CGI so it looks like factory-produced war materiel. The Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada storylines each get 2-3 hours. And if this succeeds at the box office, future trilogies based on the Robotech II and BattleTech animated series with real actors and mind-blowing special effects and music are going to be produced by Ashton X Productions.

Night of the Demon (1957). A superb film (IMO) but the demon (when it appears) looks like a puppet (which is basically what it is). I'd like to see the film remade but still set in the 1950s and with the demon done in CGI. Not sure which actors and actresses I'd choose though.

I'd make h/c versions of all the Emanuelle movies. Especially the ones with Silvia Krystel and Laura Gemser

Patton (1970)
I'd show more of his tactical brilliance , less of his fights with Montgomery and Eisenhower . Expand the battle scenes of which their are suprisingly few in the original , lose the M47 and M48 tanks and replace them with period correct vehicles using state of the art CGI if necessary . Tone down the anti british sentiments which are over done in the original . For the lead part I'm thinking Woody Harrelson . |

Not always.

When CGI was first started being used in general in movies back in the early 90's back then it was only used for special effects that would have been almost impossible to achieve any other way, such has animation, animatronics, puppets, latex masks etc. Two examples are the alien water creature in The Abyss and the liquid T-1000 in Terminator 2. If it hadn't been for computer technology at the time could there have been any other way they could have pulled those effects off convincingly? I get the feeling that if they had used animation, stop motion models etc it wouldn't have worked quite so well. I think the problems with CGI in the film industry started to occur in the 90's when film producers began to realize that it can used for practically EVERYTHING! The result being that, over the last 27 years or so, the use of CGI has inevitably gone right over the threshold of special effects creativity-it's this 'it can create anything' attitude that now means that it's the first thing film directors go to for effects, and the more conventional effects of animatronics, matte paintings, etc have been somewhat pushed aside now. |

Though I think a certain amount of traditional (So to speak) animatronics were also used there too ?. For me the most guilty culprit of using CGI simply for it`s own sake is Lucas like I stated. Those prequels were an abomination of generated effects that almost looked dated before the movies came out. Sheesh , like his writing , directing and borderline racist abilities weren't a big enough hindrance to get past. Seeing clearly green screen sets with rows upon rows of obviously fake troopers, robots etc was so mind numbing it`s amazing nobody had the courage to tell him what a total cock up he was creating.

Dark Star
Dark Star was John Carpenter's directorial debut & he made it while still at film school but it was pretty low budget so it could be substantially improved on with regard to special effects & set design but it's hard to imagine the acting being any better because it was hilarious!
Trailer > The story was rather sketchy in places too so I think I'd try to make that more plausible seeing as some holes needed filling there & I think I'd see if the ending Ray Bradbury came up with could also be incorporated too because the film was loosely based on his short story 'Kaleidoscope' which added an excellent idea which the film didn't include but potentially could have done. I'd love to direct it myself as I'd love to have the capability to make my own film if I had the money & opportunity to do that. I often get frustrated by badly made SF films & most are rather lacking in one department or the other especially in scientific accuracy e.g. Noise in outer space or 'magic' gravity in spacecraft lacking any centrifuge technology & there's no excuse for either if these errors really.
