10 Movie Remakes/Reboots We Actually Want To See

10. Speed

It feels like Mad Max: Fury Road was a kind of watershed for action movies. Everything before it seems likes it’s building up to Fury Road, while everything after it has felt disappointing because it *isn’t* Fury Road. It showed that action movies can be both crowd-pleasers and critical darlings, and that a movie set almost entirely in and around a truck can still be epic entertainment.

So why not try making Speed again? The 1994 Keanu Reeves action film was set on a bus that would explode if it dropped below 50 mph, a genius concept that the film really made the most of. With the popularity of movies like Non-Stop and, of course, Fury Road, action movies on fast-moving transport are still bringing in audiences. There’s a load of potential with a remake that could make the film equal parts exciting and smart, and not just another cheap cash-grab.

Seriously: give it to Jordan Peele and watch him make it something amazing about race relations or Trump’s presidency or something.
