The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Aragorn]

Well leaving the "of Mars" part in the title would help because what the hell is a John Carter besides Noah Wyle's ER character?

 

[Commander Troi]

I actually enjoyed the live-action movie, so I'm intrigued.

 

[Starkers]

Screw John Carter I want a Mandy Carter film

 

[Set Harth]

Jimmy Carter of Mars

I do recall she went to space once?

I do recall she went to space once?

She did indeed!

Jimmy Carter of Mars

A team of normal human beings go to Mars to help with Jimmy's plague of malaise.

Power gets another spinoff, this time a prequel. I see ads for these shows all the time. Are they any good?

Netflix Renews ‘Wednesday’ for Season 3, Eyes Spinoff (Exclusive)

Hollywood’s biggest outsider insiders — director Tim Burton and star Jenna Ortega — give their first joint interview on the return of their monster Netflix hit and discuss freaky public encounters, how they navigate controversy and the prospect of 'Beetlejuice 3.’

www.hollywoodreporter.com

In April, Mike De Luca said development on Beetlejuice 3 is starting “imminently.”

BURTON Really? Nobody told me. Maybe I’ve been replaced.

ORTEGA Maybe I’ve been, too. Maybe [her character] Astrid dies and goes to heaven instead [of the films’ Netherworld]. They should just take Baby Beetlejuice on tour and send him to Hawaii.

BURTON It took 35 years to make the second one, so by that time I’ll be 105. I know those odds are not good. I really, really enjoyed making this one, and [Warner Bros.] didn’t even really want to do it. We did it the same way I did the first one, with the actors doing improv. It was beautiful to see some of the old cast and have Jenna. But it’s like trying to re-create the Wednesday dance scene. I love the characters, but I don’t necessarily see it.

But it’s tough for me to imagine you being like, “Let somebody else do it.”
BURTON No. I feel very proprietary about everything I do, even if I don’t own the characters. When they did the [Beetlejuice Broadway musical], I got pissed.

Cailee Spaeny supposedly in talks for an Elden Ring movie.

Jamie Lee Curtis says Universal is remaking Murder She Wrote as a movie.

With herself as Jessica? If so, typical route of an actress clearly obsessed with body-count franchises. I'd rather have a FISH CALLED WANDA series because those particular dogs actually ''died'' with great humor.

 

[MarcKle1964]

I remember talk about how Jessica Fletcher was a serial killer who successfully framed other for her murders before finding the link below. Might be a fun movie.

I remember talk about how Jessica Fletcher was a serial killer who successfully framed other for her murders before finding the link below.

Well, c'mon.....244 murders over 12 years in the same neighborhood committed by an obviously evil actress who was too paranoid to play Nurse Ratched while having no problem with croaking someone every seven days as long as some washed-up actor took the rap.

The Today Show interviewed Eddie Murphy about his upcoming movie and he took the time to announce that he is the new Inspector Clouseau for series of movies on Amazon Prime.
Makes sense in that Amazon owns the MGM library and they want to monetize their properties.

 

[tharpdevenport]

When Eddie finally passes on, we need a series of Beverly Hills Cop films, where his character will be played by a white guy. A white French guy.

 

[137th Gebirg]

By then it'll probably be a perfect AI facsimile of Eddie.

Playing a white guy.
