10 Movies That Should Be Remade Next

6. Duel

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen
ABC

Steven Spielberg's first full-length directorial effort would go on to launch one of the most iconic careers in the history of the movie business, and remains a brilliant example of how to turn the most basic of concepts into 90 minutes of pure entertainment. So much so, that is seems strange that it hasn't been subjected to the remake treatment yet.

Although the premise was given the horror treatment in 2001 genre movie Joy Ride, there remains untapped potential in updating Duel's pulpy B-movie thrills for modern audiences.

Part character piece, part action flick, the 'one man stalked on the road by unknown assailant driving a scary truck' is a high-concept pitch much more succinct and appealing than some of the garbage that comes out of modern Hollywood these days.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
