I have to say once I read a remake was in the works I got excited. I think the original is perfect as is though and would hate it if they veered too much from the themes presented in the original. Hopefully, one advantage of a remake might be that special effects advances might make the look of the aliens more scary/creepy. I’ll def. watch it, but I think they should just stick with Carpenter to Direct and put an unknown in the lead as Nada.

I doubt the remake will do the original justice

This will suck balls. Just saw the original for about the 50th time on the big screen at a local art house. There’s no way they’ll capture the same feel of the original.

Can we re-release this to theatre’s.. I just watched this movie for the first time since 1990.. and was blown away. When i watched it then it was just Rowdy Piper vs Aliens.. but watching it now.. it’s much more than that. Plus an awesome fight scene.. They can recreate this.. but it’s perfect as is.

i think this is a great idea,only in the plot they should mak it more current and include the “nwo” and shadow government and the aliens should be reptilian not zombie lookin.

They need to stop making remakes. It’s great by its own. Just get a special edition on DVD. That’s what they really need instead of a remake.

I would like to see this film revision make a huge impact in the film industry, by attacking the global-banking society that has taken over America with the its Media Whores and massive God-complex. As for the Actor, bring on Jesse Ventura! He carries the torch of a wrestling past, and being a former actor. Plus, he is a 9-11 truth seeker!

Yeah Pali, I agree Mr. Rourke would make a nice candidate, I sure do wish i had an 80’s Mel Gibson, or late 80’s Schwarzenegger that they could throw in as starring actor….

One can dream.

Pali, I think it would be a great idea. I’m becoming a huge fan of Mickey since The Wrestler and Sin City.

How about casting Mickey Rourke as Roddy Piper? After his performance in the wrestler, he might be a valid candidate. Heck’ why not even make it a seqeul to the wrestler where he’s down to his luck again and wakes up after being knocked down and mugged in an alley where he finds the sunglasses?

Just an idea. I now it’s crazy, but is it totally stupid?
