Ben-Hur
Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) is directing the new take on Ben-Hur, whose cast includes Jack Huston, Toby Kebbell, Pedro Pascal, Morgan Freeman, and Nazanin Boniadi. The film is already in post-production, and will be released in cinemas in march 2016.
Big Trouble In Little China
One of the few John Carpenter movies to thus far escape the remake treatment? Well, that would have been Big Trouble In Little China, but over the summer, news broke that a remake was indeed in the works.
Dwayne Johnson is set to headline the film, which is being penned by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz. Johnson has already said that he wants John Carpenter involved in the project in some capacity too. It's still in the writing stages thus far, and Johnson's jam-packed slate means that even if everything goes to plan, this one is unlikely to shoot until the back end of 2016 at the earliest.
Cube
The ingenious horror thriller Cube took a single location and really, really made it count. More than its sequel or prequel managed to, certainly. A new version is now on the way though, and it's going by the name of Cubed. Saman Kesh is directing, whilst Philip Gawthorne has penned the new script.
Escape From New York
Funding now seems to be in place for the remake of Escape From New York, which is set to kick-off a new series of films. Joel Silver is directing, and John Carpenter will serve as executive producer. At one stage, one of Charlie Hunnam, Jon Bernthal or Dan Steves was in line for the role of Snake Plissken, but all has gone a little quiet on the casting front. There does seem to be a determination to get this made though.
Flash Gordon
20th Century Fox seems to have the rights together to make a new Flash Gordon feature, and earlier in the year, it was trying to lure Kingsman and X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn in the direction of the film. It's unclear as of yet whether he's accepted the job, but given that the last we heard he was writing Kingsman 2, he may be a long shot.
John Davis is producing along with George Nolfi. Nolfi came up with a treatment for the film, and the script is being penned by Patrick McKay and J D Payne (who worked on an earlier draft of Star Trek Beyond). Samuel J. Jones has already expressed interest in reappearing.
Gremlins
Long talked about, but still active. Chris Columbus, who wrote the first film and most recently directed Pixels, is involved in the new film. He's taking influence from the way JJ Abrams rebooted the big screen Star Trek movies, and it'll mix in old and new characters.
Seth Grahame-Smith had previously worked on script, and back in April, Red Eye's Carl Ellsworth was hired to pen a new draft. Progress doesn't seem to be too swift, though.
Flatliners
This one's been rumored for some time, but things took a substantive step forward earlier in the year when Niels Arden Oplev - the director of the original movie version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - was hired to helm a new take on Flatliners. Ben Ripley, who wrote Source Code, was working on the script for the film. Flatliners does seem stuck in development at the moment, though, as there hasn't been fresh word on it for two years now.
The Grudge
Sam Raimi is to produce a new take on The Grudge, with another English language version on the way. Midnight Meat Train's Jeff Buhler has worked on the script, and this'll be the first English The Grudge movie since 2009's Oscar-losing The Grudge III.
Hellraiser
Clive Barker himself has admitted that the new Hellraiser film is to a "reboot."
Talking to EW towards the end of last year, he said that "the movie actually begins on Devil’s Island. I wanted to fold into the Hellraiser narrative something about the guy - the Frenchman Lemarchand - who made the mysterious box, which raises Pinhead. I figured ‘well, what would have happened to him?’ He might well have been taken to Devil’s Island [a penal colony] and I thought that would be a pretty cool place to start the movie."
Barker is writing the new movie, but won't direct. It just needs someone to give it the official greenlight...
It
So this one's had a bumpy year. The plan is to make two films of Stephen King's enormous book, It. Will Poulter had been cast in the pivotal role of Pennywise (Tim Curry still terrifies us, mind), and Cary Fukunaga had been developing the project to direct for many years.
Yet as production approached, in came "creative differences," our old chum. Fukunaga has since left the film, and in his place is Mama director Andy Muschietti, who at one stage was set to direct the remake of The Mummy. It is now pressing ahead again.
jacob's Ladder
No fresh news on this since the end of 2013, so it may just have died a death. Adrian Lyne's 1991 psychological thriller, starring Tim Robbins, was to be brought back to the screen by director James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross). Jake Wall and Jeff Buhler have put together a screenplay. No progress for a while though, so we wait and see on this one.
Logan's Run
Here are just a few of the people who have been involved in the elongated attempt to remake Logan's Run. Director Carl Rinsch, James McTeigue, Nicolas Winding Refn, Bioshock creator Ken Levine and Bryan Singer have all at some point been associated with the project. Meanwhile, at one stage, Ryan Gosling was all set to star as well.
Now? We hear that Simon Kinberg, who has been writing some of Fox's Marvel movies as was as the upcoming Star Wars film Rogue One, is to write and produce this one. Joel Silver is also producing, but at this stage, there's no news on a director.
The Magnificent Seven
Accepting that The Magnificent Seven is a remake of sorts of The Seven Samurai (the inspiration for Pixar's A Bug's Life, too), this one is therefore a remake of a remake. Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua reunite for the third time, after Training Day and The Equalizer, and the cast also includes Chris Pratt, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ethan Hawke, Peter Sarsgaard, and Matt Bomer. The movie is set for release in September 2016.
Manhunt
John Woo is remaking the 1976 Japanese thriller Manhunt, which in turn is based on Juko Nishimura's novel Kimi Yo Funnu No Kawa O Watare. It'll go back to the source material, to tell the story of a prosecutor framed for robbery and rape, who sets out to clear his name.
Woo has promised that the film goes back to his old style of filmmaking - hopefully something in the vein of Hard Target or The Killer - and Media Asia is backing the movie.
Masters Of The Universe
He-Man has been coming back to the big screen return for a while now. Thus far, the likes of Terry Rossio (Pirates Of The Caribbean) and Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) have lined up to take a pass at the script. The latest is that Christopher Yost, best known for Thor: The Dark World - and currently co-writing Thor: Ragnarok - has been hired for the project. No new director has been confirmed yet, though.
Mortal Kombat
New Line continues with its plan to reboot the Mortal Kombat movies, and it's recruited James Wan - director of The Conjuring and Fast & Furious 7 - to produce the new movie.
Oren Uziel and Dave Callaham are working on the screenplay for the film. It's unclear if Kevin Tancharoen is still involved, though. He directed Glee 3D, but it's more the fact that he also made the popular Internet short Mortal Kombat: Rebirth that had once landed him the job. No timescales for this one yet, but Wan's involvement should get it moving quicker.
The Mummy
The film that's set to kickstart Universal's classic monsters movie universe, the latest reboot of The Mummy is being written and directed by The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Star Trek Into Darkness co-scribe Alex Kurtzman. Universal has dated the film for March 24th 2017. No casting has thus far been announced, but we reckon you can expect some CG in it.
The Naked Gun
More a reboot in the style of the recent Vacation, the new take on The Naked Gun will see Ed Helms playing a relative of Leslie Nielsen's peerless Lt. Frank Drebin. Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant (Reno 911, Night At The Museum) are penning the screenplay. No word yet on when the film is going into production. Not soon seems to be the hope of many.
Nightmare On Elm Street
A second attempt to reboot the A Nightmare On Elm Street film series has been put into development by New Line. Following the underwhelming 2010 version, which saw Jackie Earle Haley take over the role of Freddy Krueger from Robert Englund, New Line opted not to press ahead with a sequel.
Instead, it's now hired David Leslie Johnson - who's penning the movie reboot of Dungeons & Dragons - to write a new script. It'll be a "back to the drawing board" job too, with the aim being to come up with a remake that's "worthy of the original."
Nosferatu
The classic 1922 horror is being reworked by Studio 8, which has hired Dave Eggers to write and direct its new take. It's early days for the project though. Eggers has the horror movie The Witch to his credit thus far.
Pete's Dragon
David Lowery, previously responsible for Ain't Them Bodies Saints, is the man shepherding a new take on Pete's Dragon to the big screen. He's lured Robert Redford, Oakes Fegley and Oona Laurence to its cast. The film is set for release in August 2016, and is currently in post-production.
Pet Sematary
Stephen King's not the greatest fan of the existing Pet Sematary screen adaptation, directed by Mary Lambert. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) may make him happier though, as he's attached to direct a new take on the book. Jeff Buhley, the writer of Midnight Meat Train, is on screenwriting duties, and we're promised a much different take from the first movie. If all goes to plan, this'll be shooting by the end of 2015.
Point Break
Comfortably one of the least popular projects we've ever reported on at this site, the remake of Point Break finally lands in cinemas at the end of this year. Ericson Core is directing, whilst Luke Bracey and Ray Winstone lead the cast. Kurt Wimmer has penned the screenplay. And here's the trailer for the film....
Police Academy
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, best known for the Comedy Central sketch show Key And Peele, are the latest to take on the planned remake/reboot of Police Academy. Scott Zabielski was attached to direct last time we heard, and Jeremy Garelick had penned a screenplay. Original producer Paul Maslansky is also said to be still involved.
Key and Peele are thus far said to be just producing the film, but it seems likely - if it eventually gets off the ground - that the pair will star in the film as well. If it hits, eventually lots and lots and lots and lots of sequels.
Scarface
Pablo Larrain has been hired by Universal to direct the latest screen version of Scarface, following Howard Hawks' 1932 original and Brian De Palma's 1983 remake. Martin Bregman and Marc Shmuger are producing (Bregman also produced the De Palma version), and the setting this time will be present day Los Angeles. Last we heard, Paul Attanasio was working on the script.
The Seven Samurai
Nothing like taking on a little-loved film and trying to improve it, is there? Few chalices seem more poisoned that directing a remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic The Seven Samurai, but The Weinstein Company is nonetheless moving ahead with the project. And it's hired Rob Letterman, the director of Gulliver's Travels, Goosebumps, and Monsters Vs Aliens to take the job on. No pressure...
Shaft
A second attempt to reboot Shaft on the big screen, following the Samuel L. Jackson-headlined take in 2000, that was directed by John Singleton. Kenya Barris and Alex Barnow have been hired to write the new Shaft, which is apparently going to have a bit more of a comedy tone to it. No word yet on casting.
Predator
The latest reboot of the Predator films will seemingly be more of a sequel to the first two films. Shane Black, who of course had a role in the first movie, is set to direct this one, and he's come up with the story for it alongside Fred Dekker. Dekker will write the script, and chances are Black will get the new Predator before the cameras in 2016.
Power Rangers
Lionsgate has greenlit a movie reboot of Power Rangers, and the new film will be in cinemas in January 2017. Project Almanac's Dean Israelite is directing, and he's said that the movie will be "really cool, contemporary, mature but still playful." A long-time Power Rangers fan, Israelite will start production over the coming months.
The Wild Bunch
A contemporary remake of The Wild Bunch is one of the projects that Will Smith is contemplating. This time around, the focus would be on a bunch of DEA agents hunting down a Mexican drug cartel. Smith hasn't committed to the film yet though, as far as we know, and he's had a good year or two to do so.
Toxic Avenger
Just a few years ago, the mooted remake of Troma's Toxic Avenger had Arnold Schwarzenegger interested in taking a supporting role. Steve Pink, who helmed Hot Tub Time Machine 2, penned the script for the new film, and he confirmed earlier in the year that the screenplay had been completed. Arnie, though, opted to make Terminator: Genisys instead, and that left Toxic Avenger in limbo.
Stargate
Once they're done with 2016's Independence Day: Resurgence, the belated sequel to the huge '90s box office smash, director Roland Emmerich and writer/producer Dean Devlin are set to return to Stargate.
They made the original film, which in time kicked off three separate spin-off TV shows. The new Stargate reboot is aimed at the big screen though, and is intended to be the starting point for a new trilogy of movies. Nicolas Wright and James A. Woods have been working on the script, but until that new Independence Day film is done, don't expect much advancement.
