The Others doesn't need a remake.  I can 100% see them trying to modernize that **** and it turning into an absolute **** show where they get cracked up producers telling the director to put in giant spider hallucinations. 

Hellraiser absolutely needs a remake.  I HATED Hellraiser because it gave me the Heebie Jeebies really bad in the wrong way, but it's still a good movie suffering from being terribly dated.  It might as well have been made in 1940 for how well that acting and directing have endured.  That remake is instantly ruined if they put CGI into it though.  Just like any horror.  Any horror that puts in any CGI whatsoever deserves to bomb and bomb hard.  Horror is one genre that has to be photorealistic in every shot. 

Night of the Hunter doesn't need a remake, but the story could work very well for modern audiences.  Plus, it's not a horror but a thriller.

With Justice League Dark and Green Hornet both going to HBO, I wonder if WB will allow them to have all of DC and make an HBO DC universe.  I don’t think there’d be a nerd out there who wouldn’t subscribe to HBO.

HBO needs something with Westworld faltering a bit and GoT done. I dont think the spinoff are generating enough hype, mostly due to the bad reception of the finale.

Just imagine a DC extended universe on HBO and how epic that would be.

They'd likely do what WB has been trying to do, create an adult demo product. Watchmen is a great litmus test IMO. They kept it adult but they didnt push that theme so hard that it became forced and trite IE most DCCU and Titans on DCU

Yeah, HBO definitely hits more often than not. I would love it.

Ooo looky, someone didn’t like that they discussed racism.

There's a million comic stories they could have done to discuss race. But they picked this as their platform and stretched the intentions of original characters so far that it can't come across as anything more then a propaganda speech.

On top of that they had some porn parody comic con guy painted as Doctor Manhattan and all he could do is make some waffles. 

The writing would have been fine had they left the original characters out of it completely. But they went full Glenn Beck with their "out there" assumptions and comparisons.
