Is this really necessary? The original WarGames movie was a classic, but is hollywood so lacking in the creative department that we have to continue to remake and sequel older movies that are best left to the fate of the past. I think we can all agree that most remakes and twenty year old sequels just aren’t on the same level as the originals. So let’s do the world a favor hollywood, and try coming up with something a little more original.

In reply to John.

I guess with “cyber terrorists” Anonymous and the whole WikiLeaks deal, a remake could be associated with contemporary society… But I agree with whoever below said that if it should be remade, it should be in 80s style.

Whatever, we’ll just have to wait and see.

In reply to Ty. I agree, War Games like all other remakes should be left alone. That being said, this might work considering the recent hacking of the CIA.....

re-hash it 80’s style.

Cause with todays tech, It’ll look like minority report.

who wants that.

Love this film as I can still remember making out with the girl I went to the movies with after her parent dropped me off.

My index finger still thanks me to this day! :)

It would be funny if the twist at the end of the new movie is the 80’s style computer doing all the bad stuff and nobody knows how to work it

One of my favorite movies growing up. Heck, I even had the Colecovision game.

I agree with your assessment concerning the Dead Code sequel – this is one of those films that shouldn’t really be touched because I can’t imagine how creative it would seem in this decade. It’s already been modified and redone, there’s no point in trying to milk it anymore.
