Heathers.
Revenge of the Nerds.
Revenge of the Nerds would work but it would be all the worst characters in the Zoomer Generation. And maybe they would treat the themes of alcoholism and rape a little differently.
And also the Javelin throw scene wouldn’t work because the Javelins are heavily regulated by the modern rules.
They tried to make a modern Heathers… and it REALLY didn’t work.
Same with Mean Girls
What was is called?
There’s actually 2 recent versions.
A tv show that was pretty up its own ass in trying to paint the new Heathers as overtly millennial.
And a musical which I’ve only seen the TV adapted version of and it was… decent.
I dunno man, I grew up with the original as a favorite of my early and mid-teens so I probably have some sacred cows about it that prevent me from accepting any updates as something more than a pale imitation.
You couldn’t make Deadpool 1 today because it already premiered on February 12, 2016 and today is Sep 5, 2024, and it’s philosophically impossible to make the same movie again.
I don’t think you could make a Deadpool 1 again because they never made a Deadpool 1. You could easily make Deadpool again, they do that all the time and it kind of sucks because you have to label it like Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool (2024).
Mostly you couldn’t make Deadpool today because it takes way, way longer than that to make a feature length film. Maybe you could do a YouTube short or something if you get started now. It’s already almost noon.
Someone should produce two identically named films in the same year and watch IMdB burn while they try to disambiguate them.
Unironically would be a very Deadpool thing to do.
That won’t stop them.
DC have remade Batman 900 times now
Technically you could, if the movie were a forgotten piece of media, or the makers happened to be entirely ignorant of it.
Scully and Mulder often had to clarify “they were in an area that did not get great cellphone coverage” thirty years ago, they were always getting separated in urban settings
You couldn’t make Soylent Green today because literally everybody already knows by now that it’s people
You couldn’t make Citizen Kane because flashbacks and other innovative filming techniques are now the norm.
You couldn’t make half of Seinfeld because with cell phone all the funny situations don’t occur.
That scene where he calls the phone in his stolen car would still be funny
24 (TV series) is like this if I remember well. The daughter would have had a cellphone now.
None of those situations were funny to actually live through. They’re only funny in a TV show.
True of literally every sitcom.
A man gets a paper cut, that’s drama. They fall down an open manhole and die. That’s comedy.
- Mel Brooks
“Comedy is tragedy plus time”. I like to say it’s comedy plus distance.
I think both are true.
Eh, series today still use this trope. “Oh no, I’m out of battery” or the comedic “My battery is at 1%, let’s take a selfie!”
That’s why so many tv shows are now written as period pieces or based in the 80s and 90s.
Nah nah… You couldn’t make Home Alone 2 today because if you were going to remake a series it would make more sense to start with Home Alone 1.
Any Will Smith movie.
You cannot make the Minecraft movie nowadays… you simply cannot, Warner Bros.
Airplane!
Lots of reasons. Pick one.
You couldn’t make Taxi Driver today, because Travis would have already died by suicide in a school shooting before reaching adulthood and getting a job. Plus watching Travis’s nihilism growing not out narcissistic disgust with the seedy underbelly of New York, but out of love for the seedy underbelly of 4chan, wouldn’t really have the same kick to it.
You couldn’t make a sequel to The Matrix because it shouldn’t be made.
You couldn’t make Toy Story today because NOBODY should be okay with how disturbing Sid’s face is.
On a side note, with all the remakes that are made nowadays, why has there not been a shot-for-shot remake of Toy Story using Pixar’s modern tech? Please, fix those terrifying lips. PLEASE
Milo and Oatis - because you can’t murder animals for movies anymore.
Roar- Hollywood is just to soft these days
I heard that the Milo and Otis allegations were an urban myth, but when I went to verify this I found that the actual truth is unknown (and possibly forever unknowable)

Collateral with Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise because instead of hiring a taxi for the whole night it be easier to call a fresh Uber after each kill.
Arrival with Amy Adams because people would insist on using AI to translate the alien language.
Blow with Johnny Depp because of fentanyl ruining the ability to just snort a line of whatever whenever.
