... is a modern remake! It would be great to see this movie remade. The Internet could be the subject of the remake in place of video. I don't know what the film should be called though. Perhaps Netdrome?

I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean.
There is a remake script out there but this is a hard sell if you want to do it justice. Has to be a filmmaker that understands the Cronenbergian vision and wants to extend it. I'm sure there are filmmakers out there that can do it but they are not within Universal Pictures vision right now.
shareIf they were to remake it now, with the serious overtones of this movie, it wouldn't get released. Governments would be too scared to allow its release. Kind of what if everyone peeked behind the curtain of real life. If you think McCarthyism is gone, just ask those pitching ideas to studio execs.
shareI hate you.
Dodgeball is the best movie of all time.
It doesn't need to be remade. The original works so well in part because it predicted accurately the ways in which television's relationship with the average person would develop into something close to symbiosis.
shareIndeed! Go remake the Mona Lisa or Cistine Chapel or something. There's no need to try and fail to replicate art. The Fly and The Thing aside, remakes are pathetic!

Videodrome is our total reality now for real. Do you think they want to clue us in on this?
Consider the case of the old action film "Rollerball" which was a warning against corporations as people, as governments. Frighteningly enough, this has become our reality. The remake totally threw out the corporate branding over everything and made it about exploitation/underground sports.
Not the same at all.
So do you think the powers that be will want us to see a movie that warns us about mass media messages? NO, if they remade it, they would change its very purpose. And the remake would become throwaway, CGI junk and trash the original as well.
Cool 3D tho.

no remake necessary, if studios didnt have add, this movie would be an excellent idea for a tv show and go into the depths and layers that it can reach, the potential is endless. But what matters is how many would watch and how much money could be made.
