Would new Forest live through the 90s-20s instead of the 50s-90s?
I’m not sure it’d make a good story. The technology is what changed the world in the past 30 years. The 1960s were a super tumultuous time and make a good sorry.
The events in Forest Gump reflect the book and run from 1951 to 1982.
A modern remake would be more like 82 to 2013 or so. So we can talk about what happened with AIDS, since that was a pretty big point in the first one. We’ve got Challenger, OKC, 9/11, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraqi WMDs. Columbine, Station Night Club, GMO food, Clintons Blowjob, …list goes on.
Basicaly comparing Billy Joel’s “We didn’t start the fire”, with Fallout Boys.
Forrest Gump is so much a story about the time period, this would be a vastly different movie. I’d say just make a unrelated movie inspired by Forrest Gump, instead of trying to make it a remake and thus give yourselve unecessary restraints.
A sequel to Forrest Gump was written by 9/11 happened the day before it was turned in. The writers felt like the movie would be pointless after what happened.
There are some really good movies I wouldn’t mind a modern rendition of.
Forest Gump, I think, would be an absolute winner. Whole premise could be redone every 30 years (yes it’s been 30 years) with great effect.
