There's a lot more they could do with Logan's Run now.
i saw it at the cinema, was very mediocre, not sure its a prime candidate for a remake ... more like a rewrite !There's a movie called Apollo 18 which I have never seen. It sounds very promising. Found footage of a failed Apollo mission - the real reason why we never went back to the moon etc. But I've never seen it because it's only got 5/10 on IMDB and it went straight to Blu-Ray.
This long-in-the-making documentary will hopefully shed some light-It's hard to know what the Keep could've been.

It's a weird coincidence (to me only probably) that we're going into Michael Mann remake territory because I was hovering over suggesting that 'Manhunter' would be a remake I'd like to watch in this conversation .. 'hovering' because I only remember it visually, sort of like an 80's Miami Vice with pastel sunsets .. every other Hannibal Lecter film has had a visualy darker different visual feel and pace to it so I think the time is ripe but also hovering because who would they chose to perform as well?: performing as a younger Anthony Hopkins? ..It's hard to know what the Keep could've been, the film was cut to shreds and the budget was significantly cut so the original more ambitious concepts for the monster didn't happen. It would be great to see Mann remake it but it is such a sore point for him he's vetoed any director's cut.

.. no one wants to see another Vince Vaughn 'PSYCHO' inferior photocopy performance.
Yes! With better actors too.There's a lot more they could do with Logan's Run now.
No! I liked that film just as it was.I'd like to see a remake of The Keep. Much as I like Micheal Mann's movies, this one was a real disappointment.

I first saw it on a large screen at an SF or fantasy con, and it was really good. The golem's smoke effects really grabbed my attention. It is a little slow for today's tastes, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.Really? Just watched it again on Netflix and it really plods along.
Nomads, the 1986 film with Pierce Brosnan. The plot was quite good but the film was so very, very 80's (and not in a good way.)
I really liked the idea that Los Angeles is a desert that pretends not to be a desert, hence the spiritual issues that come with that. But it could have been done so much better.

Have you seen Wolfen, the early 80s werewolf movie? I suspect the makers of Nomads saw that. They were both flops, but Wolfen is the superior film, pretty underrated (though Albert Finney was never good at the American accent). Based on a book by Whitley Strieber, if you want a Fortean connection.
I read the book ages and ages ago - I think I was about 12! But never did see the movie.
ETA - oh, just thought of another remake suggestion from my ill-advised childhood reading list - Ghost Story.
That was a dull as dishwater film of a very frightening book. Could have been loads better.
Tom Waits performs a song in Wolfen.

It's probably English but just sounds like Wolfen
