Although I dearly love the original and dont think it could be much improved upon I woulnt mind an update. I love the realistic approach and the practical effects of the original like how the damn headset is so massive and cumbersome in the beginning. For 1983 the visual effects and the cinematogrophy of this movie are very impressive. I guess you can credit Mr. Trumball for that.

Yes, given the production problems that were such a part of this movie, it would be a decent candidate for a re-make. My only hesitation about remaking this film is that in today's Hollywood atmosphere, it would most likely be cast with actors/ actresses who are WAY too young for these roles (can you imagine a 23 year-old Lillian and a 25 year old wunderkind Dr. Brace?) and the cause of her heart problem would have to be some congenital problem since smoking like a chimney is a big no-no in today's films! I also would fear that the film would focus on the "special-effects" rather than on the more interesting stories about the impact of this technology on the various characters. The military conspiracy aspect would be timely today, and I'm sure that a re-make could do a better depiction of the "secret manufacturing facility", which looked like studio lunchroom with a few package conveyors taken from a UPS warehouse set up. That was the most lame part of the film. If it were mine to re-make, maybe David Duchovney as Dr. Brace and Glen Close as Lilian.... eeewhh that would be a weird pairing up! Maybe let's just nix the remake idea!
shareI'll third this call, and I generally despise remakes. Brainstorm was interesting, but bad enough in practice to warrant it. The plot and characters were unconscionably boring.
shareYes.A remake would be good here,but really good actors for the parts that played by Natalie Wood and Chris Walken and everyone else.I would hate to see Jessica Alba in this film.
The SPX are CGI of course but that's a really good story should be told in this film hopefully a good writer would be able to do a great job of writting this film and a real good director too;and producer as well.
I haven't seen Brainstorm, but I have heard that Strange Days is similar.
shareIt's a little late for that. The actors are too old ,)
