“If THE BLOB were to receive a second remake, which director and stars would you most like to see make it?”
Well it has to be Steven Speilberg to direct and with Jennifer Lawrence & perhaps Sean William Scott! A true dynamic duo that has never happened yet! 🙂
In a Blob Remake / reboot I whould like to see Edris Elba , Brad Pitt , Jamie Foxx , Jennifer Lawrence and Gillian Anderson .
For the Director I’d like to see Quentin Tarantino could be an interesting diversification into Si Fi .
Plot with Gore a mean script and a Kick Bum soundtrack.
Thanks for the chance at winning this H.D.N 🙂 .
Thanks for the Giveaway!!!
Ron Pearlman and Directed by Guillermo Del Toro!!
The 1988 remake was actually the first time I was exposed to a horror film. It scares the pants off of me too!
I would really like to see a satirical remake of the film directed by Edgar Wright. I think that his traditional star Simon Pegg could do the role some justice, but as with Wright’s former parodies, I would want this one to have a bit of substance. I feel like there are other actors that would be able to provide a similar comedic performance while being slightly more tasteful. There is also a certain physical facet that would be a necessity to the starring role that Pegg doesn’t possess. I would rather see the starring role be handed to someone like Chris Pratt, Channing Tatum or possibly even James Franco. I believe that all three of these guys have the “chops” and physicality to pull off the horror and action aspects of the film, while still having the ability to maintain enough of the “goofball” persona it would require to make this movie what I would want it to be.
I think a competent replacement for Shawnee Smith would be Rose Byrne. She has both comedy and horror experience and is quite convincing at both. Not to mention she is gorgeous and has co-starred in films from both genres as well.
There should also be some cameos included in this remake. Obviously Kevin Dillon should make an appearance along with Shawnee Smith. Maybe some other regular actors/characters from Wright’s other films as well. Nick Frost would make for a good cameo and maybe even Simon Pegg too.
If THE BLOB were to receive a second remake, which director and stars would you most like to see make it: James Wan, starring Tim Curry!
I would go with the X-Files team of Chris Carter as director and Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as stars.
I’ll love to see a Slither(2006) reunion Director James Gunn and starring Nathan Fillion.
Another excellent giveaway!
Thx again HDN!
I would love to see the remake with Gareth Evans as the Director and Tom Cruise and Ethan Hawke on the other side of the camera.
Maybe strange mix, but usualy it brings something fresh to the table.
I would like to see Peter Jackson Directing it with Aaron Paul and Jennifer Lawrence starring
Thank you for the opportunity
Ron
Director Scott Derrickson
Stars Karl Urban, Charlize Theron
That should do it! 🙂
Director: Takashi Miike
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Elle Fanning
Who wouldn’t want to watch Nic Cage fighting the Blob in a Miike splatterfest.
I think maybe Carpenter or Cronenberg for direction.
Stars: Scarlett Johansson (all you need really, lol)
I love this film so I’m going for it lol
I would love to see Gullimero Del Toro on directing and screenplay duties. The guy knows how to tell a horror story and has one hell of a visual flare with all his films. I would love to see Weta do the SFX duties as well
Star wise, I’d employ some old school stars that are my personal favourites
William Sadler
Michael Douglas
Peter Weller
And Lily Rabe
If there was to be another remake I would say get the cast and crew from The Raid to make it.
Gareth Evans directing and another excuse to see Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian on screen.
Failing that another John Carpenter and Kurt Russell combination couldn’t fail.
I’d like to see Christoper Nolan direct the remake.
I think Anthony Hopkins,Lawrence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, Cobie Smulders, Emily Blunt, and Noomi Rapace would make a great cast.
Ingredients for a darker, heavier interpretation of The Blob.
