There seems to be a shortage of good Horror movies since the 70's and early 80's.....Think about it....How many sequels are there? Sure, there's something to be said about taking a good idea and running with it, but there comes a point where it's time for something new.......

the reason you don't see many new ideas is because the producers wont see anyone unless they have been through some sort of film/film production school. where they are pumped so full of the same old ideas and formulas that all original thought that they once had is totaly squashed. sure its important for these people to get educated about the film industry. but there are so many schools an so many people trying to get into these schools that they have turned into nothing more than a money making production line. where some failed hack pumps their student heads full of his ideas of what a good movie is about.

Ichi the Killer wouldn't translate. Period. Not saying it wouldn't translate well, it would not translate at all. Even the name wouldn't work.
A lot of Miike just wouldn't work. Audition wouldn't work because one of the biggest things was the contrast in the girl between the first 90-ish minutes and the last 30. The girl would NOT be that meek if the movie were American. The movie would pretty much fall apart. Hippie censorship groups aside, Visitor Q MIGHT could work, but it would be toned down anyways, and then the point of the movie is gone.

So no. Miike won't be remade, mostly because most of his stuff can't be remade.

Have nt you heard about the american remake of Takashi miikes AUDITION? At the end of the film they fall in love & live happily ever after.

Idea shortage: Worst remake ever!

Following on from what SHADE started. Is it any different now to what it was like in the 80's. There were some great films made in the 80's in Italy & America but the ideas soon ran dry & all we got were slasher films & a lot of poor zombie & cannibal films ( hell of the living dead/ zombie creeping flesh anyone?)
Anyway WORST REMAKE: it's not horror but the film was fucking horrible.
SYLVESTER STALLONE in GET CARTER.
Just loved that happy ending guys.

An Audition remake? Agh. I honestly hope you're wrong though I'm afraid you might not be -.-. If you're going to make a remake at least give do the original story justice and follow the story. Don't try to make the movie better only to come up short instead.
