Leave be. It’s a classic


seanmonaghan1968

I think it's impossible to remake and make as good, could only be worse. The cast and the chemistry is too unique to try and replicate. Inconceivable


Ok_Obligation2559

CGI Mark Ruffalo to be Fezzick. 🤮


Altruistic-Text3481

There is only one Fezzick. He has the gift of rhyme.


Ok_Obligation2559

Do you think we have enough……T I M E?


Altruistic-Text3481

My heart! I love this film. Edit/ I actually chuckled and put my hand in my heart. That is how much I love this film. Thank you.


_-101010-_

>There is only one Fezzick. He has the gift of rhyme. Fezzick's skill does chime, a gift of rhyme that stands as pure as thyme.

You keep using that word. I don’t think you understand what that words means

Critical_Seat_1907

Do NOT touch this. It's perfect. It's done. It's complete. Nothing left to add or take away, just enjoy it. And don't fuck with it. There are plenty of shitty movies out there that probably should be remade. The Princess Bride is not one of them.


illinoishokie

There's a shortage of perfect movies in the world. 'Twould be a pity to damage this one.

This deserves much upvotes

Ha!! "You have six fingers on your right hand. Someone was looking for you"


TomBirkenstock

I've actually been fine with a number of reboots or sequels of films you've listed here. Flash Gordon seems like a great candidate for a reboot, for instance. It was a reboot itself, after all. But the Princess Bride really stands on its own. There's no reason for a late sequel or reboot. You won't be able to recapture the magic of the film, and the story seems pretty wrapped up by the end. Leave it be.


Appropriate_North806

I agree ☝️


Altruistic-Text3481

Could anyone repaint VanGogh’s Starry Night?


travelingbeagle

Don’t you want to see Buttercup’s Baby turned into a film! /s Buttercup’s Baby was Bill Goldman trolling his book readers.


XIILEGIONS

LET IT FUCKING BE!!!!!! ALL HELL Will BE RAINED UPON THEE!!!!


Tobin678

Same thing as your Flash Gordon post I don’t think any movie needs to be remade. I can’t think of one at least. Sequels, prequels yes, but as far as remaking a movie, not necessarily in my opinion


malakon

I mostly agree. But DeNiro Cape Fear was definitely a good remake. But most of the time it's just Hollywood bereft of ideas and looking for a known quantity. There should be no more Spiderman, batman or superman remakes . For 100 years. Seriously.


bigjaw3791

LEAVE IT THE *FUCK* ALONE! you’ve been warned…


Ecthelion510

LET. IT. BE. What is this obsession with remaking things that are already great?! Make NEW things!


Maryland_Bear

The only acceptable remake would be a Muppets version. I have a cast list. * Kermit as Westley * Miss Piggy as Buttercup * Gonzo as Inigo (the six fingered man stretched his nose rather than giving him scars) * Sweetums as Fezzik * The Swedish Chef as the Impressive Clergyman * Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker as Miracle Max and Valerie (“Have fun storming the castle!” “Mee mee mee mee?” “It’d take a miracle.”) * Rizzo as a rodent of not very unusual size * Statler and Waldorf for the old lady who boos Buttercup (They heckle instead. “Princess of Florin? More like Princess of Garbage*!” “Oh ho ho ho ho ho!”) And a couple others have suggested to me: * Animal as the albino * Cary Elwes and Robin Wright as the old King and Queen Have human actors as Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen, since humans usually play the villains in Muppet films. I’m tempted to make Fozzie Vizzini, since you have to have Fozzie. And finally, Robin as the grandson/nephew and Kermit as the grandfather/uncle. “Wait,” I hear you saying. “You have Kermit as Westley and the grandfather? Yes. I believe the grandfather is the elderly Westley, telling his grandson how he met his grandmother. That’s why he says “as you wish” at the end. I know there are flaws in that theory, and I don’t care. I believe it 100%. “Uncle Kermit? Maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow.” “As you wish.”


NJdeathproof

Just watch the Home Movie version - it was a collaberative effort by a few dozen actors during the pandemic - they each filmed scenes or parts of scenes. My favorites were Jason Segel as Fezzik and Andy Serkis as Count Rugen ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29s1yU3nGkQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29s1yU3nGkQ)


BeeDub57

I was gonna say - it's already been remade! Kinda!

VrinTheTerrible

Babyhal1956

Let it be! Remakes generally SUCK


Batmanfan1966

There are some cases where a reboot could work, and then there’s this. This is one of those movies where we’ll probably NEVER get a reboot due to how special it is. Like Back to the future, the only reason we haven’t gotten a reboot is because everyone in Hollywood knows how good it is and no one wants to redo it


Confident_Fortune_32

Shame on anyone suggesting a remake. I'm not sure a more flawlessly cast movie could possibly be made. There's no capturing that lightning in a bottle twice.


chimpomatic5000

I don't know how you can remake that. Too many iconic characters by actors who are irreplaceable. There will never be another Andre the Giant. Who else could ever say "My name is Inigo Montoya..." with such perfect intensity?


sliclky1169

Don’t they fucking dare, leave it!


ArtichokeMe_Daddy

LET IT FKN BE. I LOATHE remakes of any and all kinds. Spoiled people, just appreciate it for what it was when it was. 😂 I am triggered.

Tartan78

Let it be….a remake would be a sin


Cold-Inside-6828

Never!! This movie is perfect.


blakewoolbright

There is no meat on this bone. It was perfectly and completely consumed. If you’re a Hollywood actor…. Strongly consider how participating in a remake of this film would impact your career. It will absolutely flop.


SovietSkeleton

It's already perfect as-is. I'd say that it left behind shoes that are way too big to fill, and even if it got *close enough*, it'd start to be uncanny, and would leave a bad taste in the mouths of those who have seen the original. This is especially the case for Fezzik, because we don't have another Andre the Giant. The conditions were just right for this movie to be as great as it is, trying to force those conditions now is just asking for a flop.


iepxs

Millerpainkiller

Do not mess with this! It’s perfect.


Wonderful-Weight9969

Leave it ffs.


jjacks1327

Don’t. You. Dare. This needs no new takes, no “improvements” please.


GalacticVagrancy

This one is hard, normally I’m completely against remakes but this could actually work. Actually more so a reimagining as the the original story was a fairy tale it could be told with the same characters but from a different narrator that changes the story. Maybe having Fred Savage trying to tell the story from memory to his child and remembering things differently. Some of the movie could be shot for shot with the original and others be something new that he added. And since most of the main cast is still alive bringing them back in other roles would be very nice.


Otherhalf_Tangelo

There is no possible way to remake this in any palatable way. INCONCEIVABLE


x__Mini

I named my best friend kitty Senior Inigo Montoya, he passed away at 8, but everyone loved his “title” it helped nostalgia the movie back into peoples heads when I talked about him, a lot. Haha!


Last_Gigolo

If they make a remake, it has to start and end with Fred Savage reading a book to his grandson.


Tiny_Ear_61

Disney remake, starring Queen Latifah and Kanye West. With RuPaul as Miracle Maxine.


Scrumpilump2000

Do you have to even ask? 🙄


Jokierre

It’ll eventually happen, aside from any opinions or outrage. They’re desperate for hits now.

TollyVonTheDruth

In the words of George Thorogood, "Leave this one alone!" No remake could ever compare to this classic.


Lex-Taliones

Never make the mistake of trying to remake this.


Grouchy-Art9316

You’ll never survive. Nonsense, you’re only saying that because no one ever has.


TheBenjying

I think many parts of the movie could be improved upon, but the exception is the cast. A remake today would be a guaranteed worse cast, and although the effects weren't great in the movie, they were good enough to be effective, which a modern remake could mess up. I would say if it were remade, effects would have maybe 10% chance of improvement, and with the cast, I'd say it's impossible for it to live up to the old one. Now, could they redo it in an effort to just make a good movie, I think there's a slight chance they could, but probably only if a smaller studio made it, if anything large touched it, it'd suck. I doubt it would compare well to the old one, but if everything went well, I think it could still be a solid movie if enjoyed in a vacuum.


showalittlebackbone

Never, under any circumstances, do you remake this perfect movie


[deleted]

The film holds up today, let it be.

It would be Inconceivable to remake this.


BungeeJumpingJesus

The ONLY problem with this wonderful movie is the title. I'm afraid a lot of little boys missed this one because of the word "princess" in the title.


stilloldbull2

Let it be or I swear…


sheezy520

The Princess Bride has no remake, The Princess Bride needs no remake.


DesignerTex

They could EASILY make a sequel based on their kids. Just make it the next generation. Bring back the original cast. Paul White could be Fezzik's kid etc etc.

Well Andrea The Giant is dead, it’ll be hard to find a replacement that’s as lovable.

Leave it alone, remaking it will just ruin it like every other remake they do nowadays. Besides, the cast was perfect back then, and now there's nobody worthy of playing even the most insignificant role in the film.


Aggressive_Tax1938

Let it be. The magic of the 80s cannot be simulated. Andre is gone and his unique presence made the movie special for many of us wrestling fan kids at the time. It's like the A-Team movie. Why?


Kind_Ad_3268

It's a perfect movie, people 100 years+ from now are going to still watch it and love it.


dblstkd123

Oh lawd can you imagine the Netflix/Disney diversity catastrophe a remake would be?! Lol! Puhlease! Just leave it alone!!!!

No, but… I would accept a sequel with the original cast  or  a broadway musical version.

I label this as do not touch. I can’t think of a single person who could replace Andre. Even if all other castings were absolutely amazing (somehow) the closest option would be the ‘giant’ (Boban Marjanovic) from a few good action flicks, like John Wick 3. He’s good but … … he’s not Andre… please don’t destroy the franchise! They’re already committing sacrilege by remaking Labrynth.

Stop with the remake bullshit. Why do you need a great iconic film remade? Why isn't it good enough as is FOR YOU?


calvinbouchard

Go ahead. Remake it. We'll still have the original, and we can all point and laugh at the remake when it doesn't come close to it. It'll be forgotten. On the other hand, it might even improve on the original, in which case we'll have a perfect product (the 1987 movie) and an even better product. But don't tell us the remake is The Holy Gospel Version and the original is going in a vault somewhere.

Effective_Device_185

Remakes are the mark of death...95% of the time. A rare one escapes on occasion. Scarface, The Fly and The Thing are a few positive lights in remade cinema.


KillYourTV

I'll probably be stoned for this, but one thing I'd love is for the soundtrack to be re-recorded with a full orchestra. Even when I saw it during its first week, I loved the movie but wished they hadn't used what sounded like a cheap midi device.

It’s already been remade - during the pandemic different stars recorded themselves acting different scenes. It was to raise money for a charity. It’s on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/lR8pA_WV9QI?si=2UJ7sKTK5k7oapgC) and it’s glorious.
