Here we go again. I did warn you I had more ideas brewing. Hopefully, these meager concoctions will settle in someone's mind. A night cap with absolute propensity swirling within your mind. I, certainly, hope you enjoy the next seven remake ideas. Hmm...enough to warrant a nice adaptation for your closest cineplex? Oh, well, enough of that. Here are my next 7 remake hopefuls for the cineplex.

Air Wolves featured Ernest Borgnine as Santini, an aging helicopter builder, and Jan Michael Vincent as Stringfellow Hawke, the pilot of Air Wolf. Air Wolf was an advanced helicopter within a secret intelligence agency. It first aired in 1984 and ended in 1986. Now, it is the year 2007. There have been advances in the secret helicopter, this time there are a pack of them, and the world is in need of their assistance. Santini has passed away and Hawke is an alcoholic, but he is the only person around to train the new pilots within the pack of Air Wolves. America loves seeing comeback performances, so this would be a nice welcome home for Jan Michael Vincent. This time he has his hands full with the likes of L.L. Cool J, Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf, and Reese Witherspoon as his premier pilots. With Wolves like these, there is no telling how large a draw the cineplex could have. This is a series ready for a remake.

The Misfits of Science was a short lived series, first airing in 1985, that featured Courtney Cox Arquette as Gloria DiNallo, a telekinetic teenager. This series was about a group of teenagers with super abilities they used to fight crime. The series was short lived, because the writing was cheesy and the special effects were equally corny. This sets the stage for a chance at a super remake, possibly even worthy of a full length version for the cineplex. Imagine, Hilary Duff as Halitosis Girl and maybe Zac Efron as a telepathic sex symbol. Okay, they are young, but could someone possibly put a script together worthy of blockbuster attention at the Cineplex. At the very least, the MTV generation has something to salivate over.

Takeaways
  • 7 remakes
  • Comedic adaptations
