Really come on Hollywood we don't need this movie remade.

We also don't need the same 12 actors in everything. Ghost in the Shell? Come the fuck on.

Johanssen’s Ghost in the Shell was an utter mess, she wasn’t the problem.

It’s a bit dated but I think the original holds up.

I agree. Though, I’m fine with remakes, generally. I just don’t think this movie had an interesting enough idea that needs to be re-explored imagined or repeated.

I also agree we don't need this movie remade. However, I don't think it's fair to say there are no ideas in the movie for contemporary audiences. There's a lot of subtext if you look past the religious layer! It really is a masterclass in horror

I think what they meant is that the reasons it's a masterpiece aren't really related to the story or concept itself but probably more in the execution and subtext. So it doesn't matter if you make a new one in-universs, because the universe isn't what made it good (I think...).

We clearly need another Aliens remake.

Four film companies. Probably a full dozen executive producers and two dozen more 'associates.'
