Is this a movie crying out for the remake treatment? (Mind you, are any of them?)

reply

Looks like someones decided to go through Gere movies to remake (already done Gigolo). they tried going through Michael Caines, Arnie (Conan, Total Recall), Ford (Mosquito Coast, Presumed Innocent), Swayze (Point Break, Dirty Dancing, Road House) , now Gere

This will fail, mainly because An Officer and a Gentlemen is too iconic of an 80's movie to be remade. How long before the Silence of the Lambs gets the remake treatment?? It came out in 1989?? Isn't this overdo now??

I wonder what changes they'll make for modern audiences.

They'll put a chick in it and make her gay.

maybe he falls for a guy?

A woman officer carrying Miles in his arms while everyone cheers. Subverting expectations with a gender reversal! People love that.

Whew! I'm getting all tingly just thinking about it!

who is the target audience of this ? (new and old)
It didnt seems to make much of an impression last time except with middle aged women who fancied RG

reply

the whole allure of the movie was Richard Gere in naval uniform - it was kind of like Top Gun before Top Gun (and without planes).

is Miles Teller a similar dreamboat to Gere or Cruise in the 80s? idts

reply

They actually remade it in 2006 with James Franco (Annapolis)
