(Fake) The Last Starfighter Remake movie trailer

A revamp of the original cult classic film.
There's no official plans for a remake (yet), but I can see this property actually working if treated with care and integrity.
-
The song is Sarabande Suite by Globus.
-
I used the movies Tron Legacy, the original The Last Starfighter, Star Trek 11, Battlestar Galactica (remake), Planazet, Stargate Universe, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG1, Stargate Continuum, Lost in Space, Chronicles of Riddick, Star Wars Ep. 3 and The Fifth Element.

The original story was of a kid named Alex Rogan from an isolated community whose major source of accomplishment is an arcade machine with a space shooter theme. He manages the highest score ever and is afterwards visited by a mysterious individual named Centauri who claims his win has earned him a great privilege. Quickly he discovers that not only is Centauri not human at all, but what he's won is an actual enrollment in the Star League, an alien academy for star fighters. Dogfighting invaders in space is much deadlier behind a real cock pit, but his leet skills may be just what the war effort needs.

The biggest problem would be casting Centauri. I don't know many actors today who could be conniving, greedy and yet a great mentor figure as well.

@FaxModem1

Actually I was thinking of that guy in Tron Legacy, the guy who gives Sam the page from Flynn?

That would be interesting because he doesn't appear at all greedy or conniving, but those who have seen Babylon 5 know he can be XD

[FaxModem1]

@bloodrunsclear Bruce Boxleitner? I never really thought Alan, Tron or John Sheridan as greedy.

[bloodrunsclear]

@FaxModem1

Exactly!

Wouldn't it be interesting if Centauri seemed completely trust worthy because he was so good at hiding his other side?

[FaxModem1]

@bloodrunsclear That kind of ruins Centauri's character. Centauri was presented as a kind of used car salesman but one that had a heart of gold. If he were to keep it hidden throughout the entire movie, and then have it suddenly revealed, it would feel as if Centauri was just using Alex and it was all an act.

@FaxModem1

Or it would seem as if it began that way but evolved into something more.

It was essentially a con game to begin with, but if he was a really good con then the act would be hard to see through. However it would develop as he grew in appreciation for Alex, and in the end Alex would have to determine what was the act and what was not.

I think Boxleitner could pull it off :)

Nice job! You have a good eye. That took a lot of time. I'm normally against sequels and remakes, especially when they remake a movie that was perfect to begin with (looking at you Willie Wonka), but when particular movies could benefit from advances with special effects it would be kind of neat to see.

"The War has gone on so long... There is almost no one left to finish it. But the Armada are making one last push and there are so few left to stand and fight. But there is a world teeming with sentient life, yearning to go beyond their sky. Go there. Find fighters... star fighters to finish this war and save us all."

"What if there are none?"

"There will be... at least one."

@bloodrunsclear or simply just kill off centauri

[PlumedSerpentRaksha]

Last Starfighter is one of my all-time favorite movies. I would love to see it re-made with today's special effects, IF it were done right. 1000% agree with those who said the casting of Centauri would be the trickiest part, because I can't see anyone living up to the original. Still, IF it were done right, I'd like to see the character have a larger part in the movie, and still remain completely true to the original characterization.

Awesome job!

[redsimonDE]

Nice one. Which reminds me of Ender's Game. Have you already made a trailer for that one?

[firepatriot42]

bloodrunsclear) Great remake trailer. I agree with you, if they do it correctly then it would be a great movie.

[ShuRugal1]

@bloodrunsclear That guy? you mean Bruce Boxleitner? And yes, he would be a fair pick, but Peter Jurasik would be better

[DocWolph]

Two words that are feared more than any other is space combat: "Death Blossom".

[FaxModem1]

@bloodrunsclear A great actor can pull a lot of things off, doesn't mean it should be done though.

To quote Centauri's last words(which I think really sum him up)

"Alex, I want you to know that it was for the greatest good that I brought you back. Of course... it never hurts to be rich."
