What car would you choose to do a modern 'Christine' movie?

[Bucky]

How about a Diamond Black Durango SRT Hellcat?

That’s like trying to substitute some pile of modern plastic for the Bandit T/A or the Bullet Mustang.

I would be all about a modern version of Smokey and the Bandit if the hero car was one like in my OP! Those cars can outperform the original T/A in every way, acceleration, handling and top end! But, then again so could your S2000! LoL.............

The guy who ran the shop Arnie worked at had a yellow Tucker in the book, if I remember right........... I really enjoyed the book! Read it in my mid-teens......

1966 Chrysler Imperial, actually.

Possibly, but just like trying to substitute anything other than a ‘58 Plymouth for Christine, I think a LOT would be lost in the translation.

You make a good point about a 2000 Eleanor but I'll still take the 71 over the 67 but that just me. 

 

Then again why not the Cobra R..........

How about something like this? It eats everything it encounters, and if you don't like it, it goes on social media and tries to ruin your reputation by calling you out as 'fat phobic'.

Too easily destroyed with Ozempic. ☺️

I actually like this movie better. The other one I view as it's "own" movie. Like many remakes.

So a live action version of "cars" with an "adult" theme?

I hear that often.

In all honesty, I wasn’t a huge fan of either one, but I respect their appeal.

I enjoyed the story line and seeing the cars in Christine, but it was rife with bad acting.

Not in my top 100 favorite movies list.

Just my opinion.

There have been original movie ideas.  Sometimes they're brilliant, sometimes they flop.
