For the most part I really hate remakes. For example: Butch Cassidy and the Sun dance kid, WHY!!!!! There is no reason for it! However, Thriller: A Cruel Picture is a movie that wasn't all that great, but it could have been. I can totally see a new updated version of this being really kickass. Any thoughts?

Well... I know how people feel about remakes. I hated remakes myself also and none of those were any good at all. However, I was watching Thriller myself the other day then I began thinking about doing a remake to this film. I would see that the remake would be better than the original in several different ways but not only for what it is but it would be a great action picture for america only but not based on how they made that film in Sweden.
For the remake, first half of the movie would be similar to the original but without porn insert into the film and also if I am the writer/director of the film, I would have all sex and nudity removed but when it comes to that, I would just fade into black when it is about to occur. With violence, I would put much violence as possible to keep it entertaining but won't do much graphic however the action sequences would be pretty intense and exciting to keep your heads spinning, something like how Die Hard With A Vengeance did. I'm not talking about the action from that movie, I'm talking about the pacing and stuff just to keep your eyes glued onto the screen. Also improve camera techniques, perhaps add in more camera tracking movements to keep the suspense going, kinda of like how Brian De Palma did with his movies or Alfonso Cuaron.
As for 2nd half of the film, I would have the action take place in an urban city instead of country-looking like from the original, just to give it a crisper and grittier look. And also I'm not going to use slow-motion at all because it would ruin the mood of the film and it would drag you away easily. And I'm not quite sure about the ending yet but I'm not giving it a happy ending because you know that people would get tired of seeing same happy endings all over again so there is a possible that the ending would be different.
