Any thoughts for a Dr. Cyclops remake with today's CGI technology?
Casting? Different setting than the Peruvian jungle? Skimpier hankerchief togas? Or hanky bikinis? Plot line?
Suggestions for publicity photos like Janice Logan did in her hankerchief toga and going barefoot and posing with the various giant props in the movie?
I don't mind someone doing a homage to this film, but after recently watching THE WOLF MAN, and previous remakes like KING KONG, I'd say, no--- no remake! As I saw in TWM, putting in brand new CGI effects doesn't mean it's going to be a better film, much less a good one.
Watching this as a kid, I have fond memories of DR. CYCLOPS, and very much enjoy it today as is. I hope it is left alone.
I would play a remake while I cleaned my lint trap. So useful.

Perhaps as a parody of old time mad scientists movies, where Thorkel's a genuinely altruistic but absent-minded scientist whose actions keep being misinterpeted as the work of a lunatic? Bulfinch and co. accidentally shrink themselves while plundering the doctor's lab, and everything after that is a comedy of errors. As I say, it's a comedy, but could also be used to explore man's paranoia when in a crisis situation.
This film doesn't need a remake; it's fine the way it is.

I'd be all for a well done remake. The 2005 Kong made the mistake of pushing the woman/ape love story down our throats, and overusing CGI. If you remember Honey I Shrunk The Kids, there was no CGI at all, all they'd really need for the effects is oversized sets and props, blue screen, and digitally added animals.
And of course, the woman's clothes would be continually torn.
Please - No Remakes!!! I've been "remaked" to death over the last 15 years, and the results usually suck.
Please leave our memories of great classics ALONE!!!!
