The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

I don't think many people remember it. It starred Jason Scott Lee, Cary Elwes, Lena Headey, and Sam Neil, and even John Cleese, which is quite a cast. It was one of those earlier efforts, from an era where there were a lot more adventure movies being made.
Jason Scott Lee should’ve been a bigger star IMHO.
 
I would definitely like to see something closer to the book!
Although, I imagine some changes are to be expected anyway. Like much of Heinlein's work, Starship Troopers is more manifesto than it is story. Manifestos don't really translate well as movies, so we should expect more of an emphasis on crafting a narrative. And though I do like the Verhoeven movie for its cheese factor, I also would like for this movie to have absolutely noting to do with that.

Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell are in talks to star in a ‘SINGLE WHITE FEMALE’ reboot.The original psychological erotic thriller follows a woman who begins to rent out a room to another woman but soon finds strange patterns of behavior.
Why have I got in my head they already remade this....goes away googles it, seems it has twice, a 'sequel' and the roommate.

I really enjoyed the original, probably helped by the fact it had Bridget Fonda in mind.

It seems that Alfred is a very well-traveled man. Make of that what you will...
 

They gave it to the writer of the Percy Jackson TV series. If it's going to be a combination of Percy Jackson and superhero movies, this will definitely work. But Marvel's team movies would be a medium-budget carpet. From there, it was a spin-off series. It will continue with Disney Plus movies.

Fast and Furious Presents From the World of John Wick: A Knives Out Mystery: The Origin of Batman's Butler: A Star Wars Story
Former assassin turned smuggler John Wick is brought out of retirement when his Wookie co-pilot is killed. The trail leads him to a planet owned by the Wayne family, a prominent Imperial family.

The streaming possibilities:

Apple TV+ -- iBourne
Disney+ -- Jason: Bourne Again
Peacock -- Law & Order: Bourne
Prime Video -- The Bourne Delivery
Netflix -- Anthony and Joe Russo get $200 million to make a bad, soulless movie that looks like it cost $40 million
Paramount+ -- whatever Taylor Sheridan wants to do with Bourne he gets
Max -- David Zaslav shelves it after filming is completed to use as a tax write off
 
Candidates: Apple, Netflix and Skydance, if Netflix buys Bourne it will be shit. And it may not make a sequel or a season. Apple can make a decent movie or series. But it doesn't have a box office hit. Also, streaming loses $1 billion every year and its future in streaming is uncertain. Skydance can make a good movie. If Paramount merges, they can also make a good series for Taylor Sheridan. I've never watched a Taylor Sheridan series before but I'll definitely watch this.
 
John Hamburg, who wrote the first three Meet the Parents movies, is reportedly in talks to write and direct the fourth movie.
