Now you're just arguing semantics. If it's about a monster that comes from the sea, belches fire, is maybe created by nuclear explosion and is called Godzilla, then it's a frickin' remake of the original. They are making the same film again, hence it is a remake.
In that case, Godzilla has been remade in Godzilla Raids Again, King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla vs Mothra, Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster, Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, Son of Godzilla, Godzilla's Revenge, Godzilla vs Gigan, Godzilla vs Megalon, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla 1985, Godzilla vs Biollante, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, Godzilla vs Mothra (90s), Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla (90s), Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla, Godzilla vs Destoroyah, Godzilla 2000, Godzilla vs Megaguirus, Godzilla X MechaGodzilla, Godzilla-Mothra-MechaGodzilla: Tokyo SOS, and Godzilla: Final Wars.
Excluded Godzilla vs Hedorah because I can't recall if he came out of the sea in that movie, and excluded Godzilla-Mothra-King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack because in that movie Godzilla is a demon made of the spirits of those who died in the Pacific War, not created by nuclear explosion.
In other news, Dr. No has been remade 21 times, most recently under the title Quantum of Solace starring Daniel Craig. [/QUOTE]
That was not what I meant and you know it, Mr Smarty-Pants. From the article I got the idea that the film was going to be what Batman Returns was to Tim Burton's Batman or what the first Craig Bond was to Dr. No: restarting the story from scratch, disregarding several of the main elements of the earlier films or making it Darker and Edgier. Hence, a remake.[/QUOTE]
You mean Batman Begins, right? Because Batman Returns is a Tim Burton sequel to Tim Burton's Batman. Which is not a remake of anything; it's a reboot.
I wouldn't call Casino Royale a remake either--except of Casino Royale. But also a reboot.
I think this would only be a reboot if they intend to make a series out of it, but now I know what you mean.
In reality, I am the one with fail, because I was able to name almost all of those by memory...
