What is the point? why not simply re-release the original with a better sound system or something like that? much cheaper to distribute and likely to do just as well at the box office, which would mean far better profits! In 1987, the idea of Detroit as a failed city was satire; now it is merely sad and depressing.
I saw trailers for a remake of Robocop
I was trying to think of a remake that was as good or better than the original. A few came surprisingly close. Most of them were US remakes of a superior foreign film, like The Magnificent Seven set in Mexico with gunfighters against bandits was really good, nearly as good as The Seven Samurai with swordsmen against bandits in feudal Japan....or Point of No Return as the US remake of the French film La Femme Nikita. that kind of "remake" makes sense, as people don't like subtitles or watching a dubbed film where the words spoken by the voices obviously don't match the moving lips.
