    If the Elvis movies were to be remade

    If Priscilla, Lisa, and other Elvis people decide to have all 31 Elvis films remade, which ones do you think should be remade? and who do you think would be good to play the elvis characters?

    They should do a remake of "Change of Habit".
    But no one can replace Elvis because he was
    'unique' as you see in the poll.

    Maybe John Travolta can replace him

    re

    that's a hard question
    If they make a remake i think they should do that with a movie of him,which is really bad,like The trouble with Girls...maybe they can make the movie more interesting if there is a remade
    I'd like to go to Graceland
    Memphis,Tennessee

    NONE of Elvis' films deserve to be remade. Get real.

    But perhaps King Creole could be redone as based on the original novel, A Stone for Danny Fisher, which was a boxing story.

    Maybe if they did it "tongue in cheek" with a lot of humor. Maybe ala the Brady Bunch movies type of spoof. A true remake would be hard for most Elvis movies because the plots are so thin, the ones you could update maybe "Jailhouse Rock" "King Creole" "Loving YOU" probably would end up RAP MOVIES(UGH). The movie "Top Secret" by the guys who made "Airplane", "Naked Gun", etc...is kind of a spoof of a lot of movies including Elvis movies. Val Kilmer plays "Nick Rivers"
    rock-n-roll star, who gets involved in a war- spy-revolution scenerio, is pretty good as an Elvis type.

    Actually, yeah, good call. Top Secret is an underrated classic!

    Viva Las Vegas was remaded starring Ricky Martin. Where have you been?
    It was a stupid movie but it was a remake. But one thing, it was never release in the theaters but of copyright issues.

    Thats a new one to me,(Ricky Martin remake) but if it was never released because of copyright issues that would explain why no one has heard or seen it.

    This was a rumour only a couple of years back. J-Lo was slated to star opposite Martin. This movie has NOT been made, nor is it languishing somewhere due to copyright.

    Never heard of that Viva Las Vegas has been remade... Must be a rumour really. Or has anybody really seen it?


    If some films should be remade it?s Jailhouse Rock and King Creole. Good stories. But I don?t know who could play Elvis roles...?
