You can't say some of the gunfighting in The Matrix wasn't at least partially inspired by John Woo, if nothing else.

A Videodrome remake wouldn't work in this day and age because there's nowhere's near as much fear surrounding the effects of television as there was in the early 80s. Plus, the philosophy behind controlling someone via a videotape would be different than controlling someone with a DVD or BluRay disc due to the way they work; a videotape is linear, so it would give them a single task to complete, but optical media allows you more freedom in that you can watch individual parts or the whole feature. So in theory, a disc wouldn't brainwash someone as much.
