    Do longer run remakes for good source material that ended up with a bad movie.

    I immediately thought The Hobbit for some reason.

    God that trilogy was so painful.

      That doesn’t count. There was a bunch of stuff in those movie that never happened in the source material.

          Which one? I’m a fan of the cardinal cut, but that still ends up being over three and half hour long.

          Yeah, even the fan edits I saw left in way too much garbage. I think they somehow made three movies without shooting enough decent footage for one, and there’s no way to cut it together in a way that really works.
