      I am petitioning for a remake of DragonHeart based on the novelization. It was written by Charles Edward Pogue based on his own screenplay, and from reading it myself, I can say it is truly amazing, what the film should have been. It fleshes out the characters, their motivations, the world they inhabit and there is more direct interaction with Draco. In the book, he is described as having an iridescent hide and eyes with a nictitating membrane. Of course, given how CGI technology was just getting started back then, these elements couldn't be included in the film. The book also fills in the film's plot holes like what happened to Bowen's trophy shield and how he came to possess the headband that once belonged to Kara's father.
      I've reached out to Patrick Read Johnson on Twitter and he's all in for a remake, and supports the petition. Maybe Liam Neeson will be game for playing Bowen as he was originally supposed to. Given his action star status these days, I don't think it will be much trouble for him. If done properly, the remake could be the mature and transcendent film that the original was intended to be. Twitter hashtag: #RemakeDragonHeart. Here's the petition link:

        I would also want to petition for a musical version of the film with the book's elements. No pop but orchestral along the veins of Lloyd Webber, Alan Menken and Mitch Leigh!

          Draco is one of my favorite dragons, and by the way he's described in the book, Draco could look even more amazing with today's technology. If the movie is remade more like the book, it can be an exciting epic like the Lord of the Rings films. For an in-depth explanation why this remake should happen, check out my post on Moviepilot.com:

            That interview is truly amazing and seeing a very young Clive Owen in those screen tests as Bowen were a treat!

              Yeah, and seeing that test footage DragonHeart in its earliest stages was really cool too.

                So my friend Strecno was right about Patrick recalling Universal was serious in trying to cast Whoopi Goldberg as the dragon! I ended up laughing my butt off and saying to my friend that she would have been better as a momma dragon if the movie had included a few more!

                  Yeah, momma dragon indeed XD for me she was perfect as Shenzi, but I personally think that she wouldnt fit in DH very well. and as Draco? That was the stupidest thing I ever heard! laugh I have some more stuff with Henson Draco and clive (B)owen XD that Ill probably show on my website
                  a musical would
                  maybe
                  interesting but a remake? Absolutely not! (but I wont give my opinion about this petition hereI already did on my valor-virtue-truth blog a while ago ^^)

                    Good cause we're already used to what that movie has done! Now that Ever After, Tuck Everlasting and Finding Neverland have been adapted for a musical and having seen Carollee Carmello play a character originally played by Julie Christie and making her sing, that musical version thought rung through my head again!(I even told someone that whoever sings as Draco must be a classical baritone!) After this test footage, I began rereading the novelization and tried imagining how Universal could have gotten away with that silly casting idea against the writer's wishes and it was nightmarish in my head. It could have turned more into "Theodore Rex" and "A Knight in Camelot"(both that starred Goldberg)!

                      Hell no.
                      Boycott movies that involve real animal violence (& their directors)
