CitizenVectron Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Michael Bay, Gareth Evans And Patrick Hughes Team On A New Reimagining Of Evans’ ‘The Raid’ For Netflix DEADLINE.COM Patrick Hughes has been tapped to direct a reimagining of Gareth Evans cult classic The Raid with Michael Bay and XYZ Films producing for Netflix. Very dumb since The Raid already has an American version: Dredd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Not expecting much... they've been trying to remake that movie forever now. At one point the Hemsworth brothers were attached. The only thing that give me hope is that Gareth Edwards is attached. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Who do you cast for this film? Its sad that they think they can do justice to what is already an amazing movie. Plus no matter what they do, Jason Statham will probably appear in this action film. I don’t have much hope for it but wish they cast more unknown people that actual know martial art/throw a believable punch on screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty laughable they feel the need to remake this. As if the original needs to be improved somehow. It also came out in 2011, so it's not even old.

It also came out in 2011, so it's not even old. And I get it if you want to remake some dialogue-heavy drama or something, maybe adapt the story for a different time and culture. CODA, one of my favorite movies of last year, was apparently a remake of a French movie nobody has ever heard of. But this is the simplest plot imaginable. You barely need subtitles. Big building full of bad guys. Reach the top to get main bad guy. I mean come on, dude from Linkin Park did the music. I don’t know how all of America hasn’t seen this movie already!

He's doing english movies anyway and is pretty fluent. As a matter of fact, ALL of the main guys from the two movies are working in the states now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamusha Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Remakes like this never make sense to us movie nerds but it’s important to remember that there’s a decent number who won’t give any foreign language movie the time of day.

As much as I love the original cast, I don’t think going English would work. Same movie with an English dub and I can watch the more superior original with that already. Now being stateside and thinking remake, we keep thinking Asian actors. It’s inner city Philly for the remake, so maybe it will offer a more diverse ethnic cast. If that’s the case, we can get George Saint Pierre as our main bad guy or make him one of the good guys. I loved him as The Leaper with Marvel. Plus we ain’t going for the acting but for the hopefully great fighting scenes. You know what, just give me a ton of that white guy DareDevil hallway shit and you pretty much have your movie there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 This news has me rewatching the movie, and man. Again, I’m not against all remakes on principle or anything like that. But The Raid works as well as it does because it is lean and mean. I would love to be proven wrong, but I’m having a hard time imagining the director of such films as The Hitman’s Bodyguard making something this raw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The action set pieces are still some of the best around, but that movie is like an hour longer than it needs to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 What makes the Raid good was the action choreography, acting/fighting and pacing. It was the execution, not the concept. The concept/plot is basically not important at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie was originally another different film that they latched the Raid name onto after the first film became a huge international hit. Originally it had nothing to do with the original Raid. It's one of the reasons why Mad Dog is back in the second movie as a different character. I liked the Raid 2 and I think the final fight scene on that one tops anything done on the first movie, buy you're right. It's not as tightly made as the first movie.
