It’s true that everything that was once fashionable comes back around again – and the same can be said about your favourite films.<\/p>\n

Some of the biggest movies of the 90s<\/a> and 00s<\/a> are coming back to the big screen, but not exactly as you remember them.<\/p>\n

After rumours of a reboot since its initial release, District 9<\/a> director Neill Blomkamp<\/a> is set to direct a remake of classic 1997 film Starship Troopers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on the 1959 novel by Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers is set in a distant future where Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects, with the Mobile Infantry fighting for the survival of the human race.<\/p>\n

The film centres on Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien)<\/a> who has recently joined the Mobile Infantry, doing his part and serving his planet in the intergalactic war.<\/p>\n

The beloved sci-fi film isn’t the only blast from the past being updated for the 2020s as it was announced that Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/a> is returning<\/a> in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n

Various legacy sequels and franchise reboots are also in the works, reviving classics such as Final Destination 6<\/a> and Happy Gilmore 2<\/a> as well as Stephen King’s It being turned into a prequel TV series.<\/p>\n

Here, we’ve rounded up all the nostalgic 90s and 00s remakes heading your way – from disturbing horror films to blockbuster thrillers.<\/p>\n

Cape Fear<\/a> is set to hit the big screen for a third time, this time as an Apple TV Plus series.<\/p>\n

The 1957 novel The Executioners was turned into the movie <\/a>Cape Fear in 1962, which was then remade in 1991.<\/p>\n

That film starred Robert De Niro<\/a>, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange<\/a>, Joe Don Baker, and Juliette Lewis.<\/p>\n

It followed the story of convicted violent rapist Max Cady (Robert) who used his newfound knowledge of the law and its numerous loopholes to seek vengeance against a former public defender whom he blames for his 14-year imprisonment.<\/p>\n

A release date has not yet been announced, but we do know that Javier Bardem<\/a> will be taking on the role of Max.<\/p>\n

The synopsis for the 10-episode series teases: \u2018A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda and Steve Bowden when Max Cady, a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.\u2019<\/p>\n

It will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg<\/a> and Martin Scorsese<\/a> too.<\/p>\n
