Directors I'd Love To See Make A Comeback (11 person items)

"Joe Dante went on a tear in the 80's with his signature Looney Tunes-inspired wackiness, and his last really big film was Small Soldiers in 1998 (which was sort of a re-purposed Gremlins). I'd actually love to see him bring Innerspace back either as a sequel or reboot, there really hasn't been a movie like that since and I just think the concept combined with today's tech advancements would be amazing."
