The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

I thought there was a National Treasure thread, but I couldn't find it.. Regarding the new National Treasure Disney+ series... They just dropped a major hint about the possible next NT Movie. Plus, Riley Poole makes a more than cameo appearance.

Either that, or the line with the hint could have just been a call out to the last movie. But you never know.
 
If ever they really do get the itch to put Gibson & Glover back into a last Lethal Weapon, then I won't accept anything less than it going back to the seriousness that the 1st film had, by Riggs somehow getting Murtaugh killed some ways into the story, (Because well he REALLY is too old for this shit), & then going on a rampage outside the law, to violently & brutally avenge it, which should leave him outlawed himself after he succeeds, being chased down by the law, when he ultimately finds, among Roger's belongings, the lone suicide bullet he gave to Roger at the end of the 1st film, (Still wrapped in its Christmas bow) and realizing the only thing left for him to do is finally use it, because there's no reason not to anymore. This is how you close that tale. The days of jokes & mock heroism is over. Holy shit, I'd watch TF out of that movie.
Dragged Across Concrete was the Lethal Weapon final film that should’ve been.

That's basically the direction I'm saying, with some expected rewrites to better fit the Murtaugh/Riggs dynamic, especially given the age discrepancy, where Riggs was something like 15 years Murtaugh's junior, & in this final film, would end up being some point in his 60s, which would leave poor Roger a pushing 80 geriatric old man, and if you have to see Roger die, that's basically when the wheels come off in a John Wick plot sense, where Martin loses whatever reason he had to be the guy he had been with Roger & because of Roger, & it's back to being the title man

Bruckheimer is saying Cage will be doing a third National Treasure movie. Which is great news to my mind.

How is it? Worth watching? I've been considering starting it.

You know, it's better than I thought it was. Catherine Zeta Jones plays a great villain. It's very much in line with the movies, as far as tropes go, but the acting is pretty good and the writing isn't bad. Overall, it's worth the watch if you liked the movies.
 
Only Frasier and Horses? I hope we get a Davids Jason and Hyde-Pierce sitcom in opposition to this https://trib.al/GZQEZW5?fbclid=IwAR031Fgk9HzEeiYDDCL90XO3e5hcim_uhBYISxBYR1D5fyy1mlaUfUvVxw4

Edit - also joining the cast is a new version of Frasier’s son, now going by Freddy, rather than Frederick, as he formerly did. Sounds like he will be replacing Martin as the blue-collar relative that Frasier butts heads with https://deadline.com/2023/01/frasie...paramount-plus-nicholas-lyndhurst-1235221548/

As long as he keeps quoting Klingon, I'm down! :D


And while Niles won't be part of the main cast, I could see them doing a reunion type of show the same way they did with the Cheers cast on Frasier.

Total surprise to see Nicholas Lyndhurst cast. Looking forward to it even more now, Frasier was one of my favourite ever shows as were Only Fools and Goodnight Sweetheart so really pleased about this.

Season 10 wasn't considered one of the best but that scene were he does the speech in Klingon was very funny, i remember properly laughing out loud.

Yeah, the whole episode was great. The Bar-Mitzvah in Klingon was genius.

On another subject on reboots and sequels, I've been thinking lately that with all of these sequel series, one that could work would be a Due South sequel where the scenario is flipped. I would call it Due North, following Ray Vecchio's son or daughter (He married, retired, and moved to Florida) who has followed in their father's footsteps in becoming a cop. An investigation would lead them towards needing the help of someone in Canada, enter now retired RCMP Constable Benton Fraser who reluctantly agrees to help shepherd them through the culture and differences of working in Canada while helping them in their case.

As much as Frasier was the star of the show, Niles and Daphne were the heart and soul of it. I hope they find some way to recapture that feeling.

Might be better to try and capture another feeling with different character interactions. If they try to do Frasier without the Frasier cast it would be the same kind of mistake as if they had tried to make Frasier into a Cheers type of show.
 
Do you think Frasier from Frasier would even recognize Frasier from Cheers? That Frasier drank beer and watched sports.

That Frasier was in there during Frasier. I think he was more influenced by Niles than the other way round. There was a number of times, usually without Niles in tow, that Frasier was happy to enjoy a beer.

In the Flashback episode 'You can go home again' showing Frasier just after he arrived in Seattle hes is much more like his Cheers version, even down to just ordering a Black Coffee.
