10 Movie Remakes You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2019

9. Labyrinth

Even if you haven't actually seen the film, it's impossible to not feel a little content when seeing even a still from Labyrinth. The classic musical fantasy film is balls-to-the-wall insane, with an electric performance by David Bowie as the Goblin King that became as synonymous with the actor and singer as any of his musical creations.

Weird as all hell, the movie didn't receive great reviews at the time, but has since become something of a cult phenomenon, with its brand of strangeness thought to be untouchable. Of course, nothing is untouchable in Hollywood, and Evil Dead and Don't Breathe director Fede Alvarez has been brought in to write and direct a remake/follow-up to the initial flick.

If anything, the appointment of a director rooted in nasty horror like Alvarez is exciting, and his skills should bring something interesting to the project. That said, a Bowie-less Labyrinth does seem like a project destined to fail, but as long as nobody attempts to ape what the actor did all those years ago it could avoid being overshadowed by his legacy.
