…and the Germans place one of their own as a mole in the camp as a POW, right?
In June last year Leonard Goldberg, producer of the Charlie’s Angels movies, said that he was developing a script for a Fantasy Island movie.
A few more future horrible movies:
Kukla, Fran & Ollie: the Motion Picture (starring Rita Rudner as Fran)
Anna Nicole: Uncut! Unedited! Unwatchable!
That 70s Flick!
(and this one might have been a bit too obvious, but -)
Star Trek Voyager: The Wrath of Kes
They remade Dragnet.
They remade Sgt. Bilko.
Don’t underestimate their power!
kunilou, you could be right. I hope not, since my vague memories of F-Troop are of inept and misled US Army troopers often outdealing even more inept and misled indians.
But the fact that they did a remake of McHale’s Navy proves that nothings impossible for them.
Laugh-In.
Was funny, once, for a short period of time with some supremely talented comedians and actors.
Remade in two-hour format, big screen, with big names instead of comedians… hell, even some big name comedians I can think of… you’d have people gnawing their legs off to get out of the theatre…
I’m actually surprised (not to mention relieved) that there hasn’t been a Partridge Family film yet.
Casting a real talking horse to play against a computer generated human; that’s the kind of creativity that’s missing in Hollywood!
“I Love Lucy, The Next Generation”
A brilliantly funny TV show, but really, who else but Lucy could ever be, well Lucy?
I would say just about any of the Kroft kid shows:
- H.R. Puffinstuff, Lidsville * and a bunch of other live action crap.
Here’s a scary sci-fi (and James Doohan’s second finest role):
- Star Command* and Jason of Star Command
And of course:
- Bananna Splitz : The Movie*
Later
When will the Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley and Mork and Mindy movies be made?
I was going to suggest Batman – that is, not a new take on the comic book, like Tim Burton did, but a direct screen adaptation of the campy TV series that ran from 1966-68.
Then I found out it’s already been done. In 1966. With the original cast from the TV show. (See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060153/.)
How about a Happy Days movie? With Matt Damon as Richie Cunningham! Henry Winkler as his father! And Hilary Swank as Fonzie! (You know, reprising her role from Boys Don’t Cry . . .) And let’s see the writers try to make '50s nostalgia relevant to a Millennial audience the way it was to a 1970s audience!
A Canadian classic of Bad Animation awaits big-screen adaptation:

Rocket Robin Hood!
Coming to a theatre near you!
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer!
I don’t know why I didn’t have this nightmare sooner. The cast:
Ashton Kutcher as Speed Racer
Jennifer Love Hewitt as Trixie
Jim Belushi as Pops Racer
Jason Biggs as Sparky
Hallie Kate Eisenberg as Spridal (yes, he’s a girl now)
Animatronic Chimpanzee as Chim-chim
Vin Diesel as Rex Racer aka RacerX
An assortment of models and animation as the Mach 5
The theme song would be re-recorded in snotty fashion by Sum41 or Blink-182
They sort of already did that one. It was called “Hart’s War” (which = Hogan’s Heroes - laughs + 1/3 (To Kill A Mockingbird))
Baretta. Tom Cruise is Baretta. With a special guest appearance by Robert Blake* as the wife-killing criminal mastermind that only jive-talking Baretta can bring down.
*Currently scheduled to appear. Unforseen legal events may result in substitution of projected co-star.
I would say Happy Days the movie, but I guess that was just a rip-off of American Graffitti anyway.
Um…*Stalag 17 * anyone? The show was based on a serious movie with funny parts. “I know nothing” from SGT Schultz was chilling in the movie.
Hmm… Maybe this could work - Steve Buscemi as a losing contestant who turns psychotic. He kidnaps Pat Sajak and is holding him in his mother’s basement - in a shoddy homemade Wheel of Fortune set - forcing him to solve puzzles at gunpoint. “Sorry Patster, you don’t have enough to buy a vowel”.
And of course Vanna, as the action hero who rescues him!
There was a Speed Racer movie in the works about 10 years ago.
I can’t remember who was being talked about as Speed. Johnny Depp, maybe?
That said, Vin Deisel would make a good Racer X.
