The Wizard of Oz definitely. Not a remake of the MGM comedy but an actual adaption featuring all of Baum’s plots they can fit in, including the fact that there are 4 witches, the kalidahs, the hammerheads, the green glasses, NO RUBY SLIPPERS, silver shoes, no singing and dancing, the multiple forms of the Wizard and the entire final half of the book that was dropped in the movie, the visit to Quadling Country.

Then we’d need sequels of course….

I would love to see someone redo Clash of the Titans and if Jackson won’t then why not del Toro.

I would dearly LOVE to see him put his touch on Clive Barkers fantasy realms….most specifically Weaveworld, Imajica and Abarat!!
The Troll market scene in Hellboy 2 was a near perfect representation of some of the creatures of the Abarat!

Huh. I guess Nuada is sort of Elrickey. Elric as seen through del Toro’s tortured corneas would be freaking brilliant. Talk about the ultimate in conflicted anti-heroes.

After watching Hellboy 2 last night, I figured it out… he should direct an adaptation of Michael Moorcock’s Elric series.

A remake of Cloverfield would also be good and stuff.

I would like to see him remake Peter Jackson’s King Kong. That would be rad and awesome

Okay, been thinking and I guess the one movie I’d love to see Del Toro redo would be Swamp Thing. I’d love to see him take on some of the Alan Moore arc of the book.

I’d rather see him take on properties that haven’t been adapted before. Most of the flicks you’ve mentioned don’t seem to be fatally flawed — Spawn and Dungeons & Dragons notwithstanding.

Why bind his hands with expectations or previously adapted material (Blade 2) when his original forays have been so much fun?
