I was surprised, but not shocked that news came out about a Fantastic Four Reboot and i have to be honest in saying that I don't really care about that film. I started thinking about all the other remakes that have been produced for release lately and wondered what if we could reboot anything in the world? Wouldn't it be nice to have a do over essentially being a reboot? So I thought about it and came up with some ideas. Some of them deal with films, but i figure why stop at that? Why not take the ability to reboot into our private lives? Or history for that matter? Here is my list of things I'd like to reboot, and I'd like to hear some of your ideas; enjoy:
Films
Schindler's Basterds: We all saw what Quentin Terantino can do with a film about World War 2, so why not take Liam Neesan and add some QT writing, along with some of Neesan's "Taken" character, and let him loose all over Ralph Fiennes the way we all wish he should have. I see big box office for this premise especially with the success of Inglourious Basterds!
All Bond films with Daniel Craig: it's unanimous that Daniel Craig has made a smooth transition into the tux, so why not just go back and do a complete over haul....too soon?
High School Musical: remake it with the original cast of Melrose Place. What? That's a stupid idea, and High School Musical wasn't?
They Live: This is a classic, and really doesn't need much work, but I loved the alley fight scene so much, I would just extend it maybe to 10 minutes, and add a cage around the two with barbed wire, and some fire. That should spice it up a bit, or and rather than calling it "They Live" just call it Hell In The Cell!
Pearl Harbor: Give it to Spielberg so he can do the material some justice, like he did with Private Ryan.
Steve Carrell- go back and rip up his contract to being famous.
Megan Fox- see above.
Fire the the exec that came up with the idea of rebooting things.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sports
Baseball- shorten the season to 50 games.
Make Steroids legal in sports across the board!
Pete Rose-make him a bad gambler so he stops it before it's too late.
Football-Lengthen the season to 50 games and watch the bloodshed.
Basketball- shorten season to 20 games
Hockey- leave it alone...its perfect.
Soccer- Make everyone wear spikes like in Murder Ball
Nascar- eliminate it.
-------------------------------------------------
Politics
JFK- Ride in a hard top
Lincoln- Netflix
2000 Presidential Election- Re-count the votes, and this time take away Al Gore's greater ambition of being an Oscar Winning Documentary film maker.
Iran Hostage Crisis-Release them during Carter's term, not Reagan....just to see what happens.
------------------------------------------
History
Space Shuttle Challenger- Delay the launch 1 more day! It's being done now more because of Challenger!
Titanic- headlights!
The Hindenburg- No Smoking on board signs!
-------------------------
Religion
The Greatest Story Ever Told- this time Jesus lives in the end (couldn't resist saying that)
Adam and Eve- This time Adam keeps his girl in check!
God and the fallen angel- have some beers and hug it out.
-------------------------------
There you have it. I'm sure you have some ideas, so feel free to post them, I want to hear what you got.
