The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall

Thanks, but the 1991 remake is the definitive version. Robert Mitchum bores himself and me to tears.
The Equaliser - itself a remake of a tv show that has also been remade as a movie - may be getting a spinoff https://deadline.com/2024/11/the-eq...aWiJSwiZ5KLqXVX0dE_aem_8BoDps7ErzBt8OBN4AHRHA
That he was Callan under an alias? Imagine the theories that would abound if George Lazenby had played the role, which he claims he originally was.though there is the fan theory that the original Equaliser was a spin-off

Personally, I always like the idea that if Woodward-McCall is actually Callan, then Washington-McCall is Creasey from Man on Fire, but from an alternate universe where he survives, obviously.
Edit: and it looks like we’ll also be getting more Denzel as McCall too

That's the one.
The animated film is so wonderful, I really don't see the point of this.
Meh... Looks okay.
Kind of like what folks did with Mulan, Little Mermaid and the latest dumpster fire posing as "Snow White". Disney's going to get bent over a bar-stool with that last one if their main star can't keep her mouth shut on social media for more than 2 seconds, initiating many self-inflicted wounds, alienating a ton of potential movie-goers in a time when people are getting a little fed up with the House of Mouse. But I digress...
Seems to be a widespread trend these days - happening in anime too with live-action versions of Akira (in production), Last Airbender, One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Beebop, Speed Racer, the Guyver, and so on. Hell, they even did a live-action Space Battleship Yamato a while back that, while deviating from the original story in many significant ways (especially regarding the relationship between Iscandar and Gamilon), was still not bad from an adaptation POV.
Seems to be a hit-or-miss mixed bag, really. I'm certainly not expecting high cinema, but I liked the original and I'll give this one a go once it goes to streaming, anyway.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’m all for the brendan Fraser revival continuing but there’s no reason why this sequel (which would be California Man on this side of The Atlantic) can’t open with “sadly Paulie’s character died on his way back to his home planet.”
That makes me wonder what might be the earliest movie you couldn't live without.
Mine has a Tin Man.
Here I come to save the day! Mighty Mouse (reboot) is on the way!
Yeah, that’s gonna be stuck in all your heads now isn’t it? And I’m not sorry.

With Reynolds involved, it might actually be good. 
He might be too booked with the NEW ZOO REVUE remake playing Freddy the Frog.
