Alien is an interesting case study.
Dan O'Bannon wrote the screenplay for the movie Dark Star. It was not a great movie. He took his core concept, wrote a new version with less comedy and more horror and that became Alien.
Manos The Hands of Fate. If somebody can take that and turn it into a passable movie, they deserve the world.

But but but that’s not safe.
I only know about that in the case where the film was bad, but based on an great book. The Lord of the Rings and Dune both had bad films made of it.
Hell yeah! Ocean eleven was a remake of an apparently not so good movie, and the movie is still one of my favourite heist movie, even the whole trilogy!
Would love some cheesy B movies' remakes, by people who understand the cult following and wouldn't take themselves too seriously. Like Mario Bava's Demons. I mean, riding a motorcycle down the stairs like Cloud Strife and chopping off demons' heads with a katana in the middle of a random demonic invasion in a movie theater sounds awesome. Why can't we have Fede Alvarez take a crack at that?

Ricky-Oh!
We need a murder mystery that takes place at a Disney world resort or park, produced by Touchstone studios so it can get the R rating. Targeting Disney adults. Disney gets to have their park as a backdrop and set piece for the movie. No 'unmasking' any of the characters, none of the characters did it, and they might actually help out in some cheeseball fashion. The park appears to otherwise be operating around the movie events.
A Last Starfighter remake would rip if it was about how the erliens found a Fortnight kid and had ‘em tear up the intergalactic construction/dance/murder competition (wars are settled this way in space)

We need a full remake of the movie Brainscan. I loved that movie as a kid and always dreamed of the day when games became so real you couldn't quite distinguish virtual from reallity. Brainscan does a okay enough yet extremely 90's take on it and its just a fun, cheesy, and nerdy horror movie. It would be fun to see what an actual talented writing team and production crew could do with that same story adding what we know now.
