I'd like a remake.


Something closer to the book minus the Cold War elements;maybe an American versus Russians and Chinese instead of Japanese and Germans?

Congo (the current year)

Me too, but only if it’s a hard R remake and goes the distance with the horror elements.
On that note, I don’t understand Hollywood, all that money but no brains and no balls. How many hundreds, thousands of remakes have floundered simply because the studio lacked the insight to just go full send with the material.
Instead we get a watered down versions that have 1/3 of the heart of the source material. Not counting, The Fly (1986), The Thing (1982) and a few others.
I’ve said before, but how bitchin’ would a David Cronenburg Congo be?!?

It'd be pretty rad.
