15 Films We’re Amazed That Hollywood Hasn’t Remade Already

12. A Boy And His Dog

Here is a film that would be ripped to pieces by any potential remake. But as we've seen in the past €“ for example with the remade Total Recall €“ following the original film's plot is entirely optional when you can throw in a couple of scenes which mirror the original. The film here follows the story of a young man who shares a telepathic link to his dog. They live in a post-apocalypic world, and is basically a story of survival. Go watch it, it is a very 1970's film, but I remember last seeing it about ten years ago and it was still interesting. Mind you, any remake is likely to completely skip the whole sex slave thing they had in this film. Someone re-writing this film is more than likely to use the title and the general premise of boy with a telepathic link to his dog after a nuclear holocaust. That'll pretty much be all that gets taken from this film, but they'll say loudly in interviews that it is a remake. Just like they did with Total Recall. Potential: Hollywood will be scared off by the sex slavery scenes. Until someone does a script which completely eliminates them. Then we'll see it again on the big screen €“ probably the same year that we have two other post-nuclear-apocalypse films released. In fact what'll happen is that some studio will get the rights to the Fallout franchise to produce a film, and A Boy And His Dog will be produced by another studio in response.
