Will they ever make a remake of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Question

Like what I mean is that, is anyone going to remake the movie of Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Like the war of the worlds that Steven Spielberg did.

Answer 1

I'm of a firm mind that a sequel to 'Close Encounters' would be considerably less impacting and wonderfully compelling than it's predecessor; I'd say leave well enough alone.

However, as far as perhaps something similar to, and not too far removed from "Close Encounters" (in the same company as 'Signs', 'Fire in the Sky', 'The Abyss', etc.), there is some good news on the horizon; 20th Century Fox recently announced that they are on the fast track towards remaking a classic sci-fi/alien encounter icon. That film is "The Day the Earth Stood Still. The original, also produced by Fox, in 1951, was directed by the late film director/producer, Robert Wise; the new version will be coined by director Scott Derrickson, who last worked on the ghostly horror chiller, 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose'.

Let's hope that they do the project right, to the spirit of the original film......,

Close Encounters Sequel

Answer 4

only if their nuts. War of the worlds left too open a door for a remake. there's only been like 20,000 War of the world movies.

Close Encounters is too centraly storied for a remake.

Answer 5

Well, it would have to be done by Spielberg, as this was the only movie he wrote an original screenplay for. Maybe a sequel, if he felt the need, but I strongly doubt he'd remake it.
