5 ’80s Anime Movies That Absolutely Deserve Modern Reboots

Let’s be clear upfront: some anime films are just too good to remake, no matter how old they are.

While nothing is confirmed, Weaver has discussed the idea with Fox/Disney. She previously hadn’t considered revisiting the role, wanting Ripley to have peace, but Hill’s vision resonates with her.
