Cue slow motion shot of Megan Fox exiting a Beverly Hills mansion riding on a jet black Kawasaki Ninja in booty shorts and a black corset. Follow her crystal clear blue eye *sparkle effect* down, and zoom in on the speedometer reading 300 million miles per hour. Pan back to shot of mansion blowing up, resume normal shooting speed, as Fox wheelies down the driveway. Cut to overhead shot of Kawasaki Ninja with a quickly overtaking shadow of a bird, wingspan 100 meters. Cut to Fox's blue eye *sparkle effect* widening in alarm. Cut back to show swarm of 1,014 mutant fanged ravens chasing her down the PCH...
Ahahahaha!
I am all for this thread being a compilation of fake & imagined Michael Bay film treatments. i love that you put Fox in a corset & booty shorts, and the PCH mention was a nice touch. Bravo.
A little off-topic, but I am currently reading a book my dad bought me on a whim: H.G. Wells' The King Who Was A King. It's from the '20s and his sarcastic gripes about directors and producers sourcing the same old tried-and-true material (Biblical stories, Roman/Greek mythology, revisionist accounts of wars in the past few centuries and various costume dramas) are just as relevant as they are today.
With the vast weatlth of information, books, uber-obscure movies, news from around the world and so forth made easily available to the public today...film makers are STILL hanging onto the same molds?

Let's be fair - it's not just filmmakers, it's also studios.
From a *financial* point of view, a remake seems like a better investment in some cases than taking your chance on something new and untested. That, of course, has zero to do with creativity but for studios, it's a business first ergo remake-remake-remake.
And co-sign that an MB remake of "The Birds" makes more sense than remaking "Rosemary's Baby."
Hey, how about this question: what film would you WANT to see Bey try to remake? I think he could do a half-assed decent "Dirty Dozen" style remake, no?

I think about this sometimes.
A remake of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde could be awesome.

My thoughts exactly. He;s gonna ruin it!
Krull and Nighthawks
I could see Bay giving "Night of the Comet" a go.
Flash Gordon.
Kind of perfect actually. You need some element of camp in a good Bey film and "Krull" delivers for days.
Don't know about Nighthawks though. Underrated flick IMO.
Pfffffttt. No more space remakes. UNLESS...
Remake of Starcrash!!!!
