With Hollywood now totally converted to making 90% remakes, sequels, and reboots, I think it’s about time someone gave them some new ideas…

…on reboots. Here are some forgotten classics due for modern movie treatment.

I’m roughly 60% serious. Or at least, 60% as serious as I ever get.

Robotech

OK, actually, this would kickass. The original 80s cartoon had interesting characters (for the medium), lots of personal conflict (ditto), and oh yeah, TRANSFORMING ROBOT SPACESHIPS.

We sort of got a big screen mecha movie with Pacific Rim and of course there’s Bay’s ongoing mess with transforming robots.

Honestly, I’m rather surprised this hasn’t happened yet.

Oh, wait.

OK, speaking of robots…

Voltron

Since 90% of the reboots hitting the big screen tap Gen X nostalgia and try to force it down Millennial’s throats, why not go big. Like, literally big.

It could probably be done half-serious and be amazing.

Of course, I was more a fan of Vehicle Voltron, and apparently I'm the only person on Earth who says that.

Wing Commander

Stay with me here. I’m not talking about the horrendous movie. I’m talking about the incredible, ahead-of-its-time, influential video game. Check out this opening movie to WCIII and tell me you wouldn’t watch this movie (either with, or without, Mark Hamill and John Rhys-Davies).

Though getting those Kilrathi to look OK and not all Battlefield Earth will still be a challenge.

M.A.S.K.

Yeah! I loved this show as a kid.

Actually, on second thought…

Gobots!

No, just kidding.

Halo… but not really

Halo was a pretty mediocre video game lauded by those that had never played a good video game before. Yep, throwing that out there. Sadly, we’ll likely see a Halo movie instead of what would be FAR superior: a Ringworld movie. One of the best sci-fi books ever (that get progressively worse with each sequel), it’s a world of worlds that, actually, would lend itself to a fantastic TV series.

Too bad we’ll never see it. Thanks Halo.

and…

I could go through and pick a bunch of classic video games that could use a modern re-telling of their story, but instead, I’ll ask you. What do you think deserves a big screen reboot?
