I would like to see the nightmare on elm street remake
Here.As far as a remake of Jaws...it would be nothing without the original cast members.
Onto the subject of an Alien remake (or re-boot, whichever way you want to look at it), I honestly think it could be done well, if Fox put in the time & money, & got the right director for the film. My only real concern would be the cast, since most of the originals are quite aged now. Yes, Ridley Scott's film is a classic, but some remakes do in fact surpass their predecessors.
Halloween is a prime example. As much as I know many people disagree, I think it was a brilliant film, & showed a level of depth & intensity that went far beyond Carpenter's film.
If Alien were re-made, I honestly see the potential for a visceral, terrifying adventure which could truly bring the scare factor back into the franchise. As long as the material was treated with respect.
