I would like to see this movie remade. But I like it to be exactly as the short story is, not any different. I really dont like it when they chage the stories because the writer had a reason to write the story as it is!

maybe not as a feature. Connell's story is 8000 words, a short written for a pulp magazine. Any screen feature would have to expand on it to some degree, flesh out the characters, add dialog, etc.
That a screen adaptation is not sufficiently like the original material is a very common complaint, but it really reveals a lack of understanding of what has to go into screenwriting. We have to be content with an
adaptation
which will never be the same as the original, but the best adaptations capture the flavor of the original in a new medium. -

My thoughts exactly! There was a 1932 version, but I never saw it! But Hey! if you ever find out of someone who wants to re-make this movie- or already has plans to do so, from the short story that bears the same name please tell me! (Goodness- let me know! GRIN I'd love to start a discussion about it and definitely offer any help I can with making it!)
Just a thought.
God bless!

I just saw this parodied on Codename: Kid's Next Door .. and I think it was also done on Dial M For Monkery (Dexter's Lab anyone?) .. what? Cartoons pwn.
Anyhow, I have a feeling that at the rate remakes are going nowadays, it'd take a really talented director to pull off a good remake. I'd say Peter Jackson, maybe, but something feels off about saying that .. -

There was also a variation on The Most Dangerous Game in an episode of Get Smart in the 1966-67 season. Harold Gould played Hans Hunter who hunts down homo sapiens for sport on St Germain island. In the beginning of the episode he hunts down a man, kills him and ships his body to Washington in a crate. Agents Smart and 99 go to the island and are hunted and almost killed. The way it was filmed was unusually suspenseful for what was supposed to be a sitcom.

Wikipedia has a decent article on the story:

Did the writers of Predator credit The Most Dangerous Game as their inspiration? It is a different story because Most Dangerous Game isn't just manhunting. There are two elements to it: he captures them and sets them free, then he hunts them. The Predator didn't capture the special forces and release them. He simply hunted them.

Apparently I'm the only one who's seen the 1991 remake "Deadly Game" with Michael Beck, Marc Singer and Roddy McDowell. It's currently not in the movie connections here nor mentioned on wikipedia. It was definitely a step up from Leguizamo's annoying "The Pest," but still nothing special. There's way too many remakes these days, and if past remakes have been any indication, they should just leave this classic alone.

Every classic film has to have some post about a re-make. leave it alone! i can't think of one re-make that was better than the original . but there a loads of bad ones king kong, planet of the apes, and charlie (willie wonka) and the chocolate factory just to name 3. no remakes!!!!
