“Forrest Gump.
It’s one of those characters that literally nobody else can play besides Tom Hanks. The special effects still hold up. Not a whole lot has changed culturally, at least nothing that would have an effect on the story. If it were made in 2020 instead of ‘93, then the flashbacks would go to the 80s, 90s, and 00s instead of 60s, 70s, and 80s. Maybe a joke thrown in about Forrest inspiring Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.
It’s an interesting thought experiment, but a remake is wholesomely unnecessary.”
Still, I don't understand why Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was ignored.
Brenden totally pulled off the same comic book inspiration and it bombed.
