10 Films Hollywood Should Actually Remake
6. Doom (2005)
Video game adaptations never deliver, for the gamers or the movie-goers. It's a sad truth that we've been dealing with for years following the release of Super Mario Bros. (1993), a film set in an absolutely bizarre version of Brooklyn wherein dinosaurs never went extinct and just co-exist with the human race as hilariously weird but freaky anthropomorphic dino-humans (yeah, I don't know either).
Doom (2005) was, unfortunately, another video game movie that fell flat on its face. It's garned a small, cult following over the years but the most notable things about Doom are most certainly the mediocre dialogue and badly-rendered demon spawn. It took itself too seriously, something the original franchise often refrained from doing.
It makes sense, then, to have a reboot by none other than John Carpenter: a man renowned for his movie monsters and ability to incorporate important and influential commentary with a side dish of camp for good measure. Ghosts of Mars (2001) wasn't his best movie to date but the essence of the film would definitely work perfectly for a reboot of Doom (minus the gigantic plot holes and Jason Statham, of course).
