1. The I-Land

The I-Land, a sci-fi thriller trying to be like Lost, couldn't keep the momentum going because it was just too overstuffed. Ten strangers wake up on an island with no memory and it could have worked wonderfully as a tight, high-tension movie. Had it been tightened down, this film would have had the character development and mystery unraveling of the island instead of being spread out over a series. It lost the potential for gripping storytelling and stunning visuals in the episodic format, making it a prime candidate for a cinematic redo.
