The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

I guess it may not just be a matter of leading versus supporting roles but the difference in performance that someone like Scorsese or Paul Thomas Anderson can get out of him as opposed to the hacks who direct a lot of his big payday outings.
 
Corporate shenanigans have led Disney to end the Blossom reboot/continuation before it ever got started. It has been in development since The Big Bang Theory ended. In short, the new executives didn't see the potential that the old execs did.
Was it corporate shenanigans or did too many continuations of old shows fail since they came up with the idea? Had they pitched and sold the idea in 2019 it might have gone into production with Fuller House and Raven's Home doing really well, Blossom would have fit right in.

Since then the most notable revivals are probably Night Court which never quite got it right, Frasier which was not even close to the quality if the original, iCarly which was decent but also not a smashing success and That 90s Show and the original versions of those shows were all on the air longer and much bigger successes than Blossom. If those didn't find a big audience why would Blossom?
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Prime just released "Terminal List: Dark Wolf," a prequel series that follows Taylor Kitsch's character from the original movie. Chris Pratt is in the first episode. Not sure if he shows up again. No time travel or aliens so far.

I think you might be mixing up Terminal List with The Tomorrow War. Then again I haven't seen Terminal List, so It might involve those things.
 

He might be to old to voice K.I.T.T but if they could make a deal with him to use his voice like Disney did with James Earl Jones, that would be great.
Judging from his ''1776'' BluRay commentary, his current voice would be far too raspy for a computer. It would almost recall Jack Benny's sputtering clunker voiced by Mel Blanc
 
Please, when was the last time anyone has said no a reboot?
All the time? The Lizzie McGuire continuation had actually started filming when it was canned, there was supposed to be a Murder, she wrote reboot, a NYPD Blue continuation, the Coach continuation that was cancelled mid production, the LA Law continuation that had filmed a pilot and many, many more we probably never even heard about.

But, enjoy your cynical take. Also, corporate schenanigans are always involved. If you would have actually read the piece.
I did read the piece. They came up with the idea of revisiting Blossom in 2019 after Big Bang had ended but then shelved it for years because of other things Mayim Bialik was working on and only. And sure, corporate shenanigans are always involved because ultimately corporate makes the decisions but I'm not convinced they were the primary reason. 2019 was simply a better time to bring back a family friendly sitcom from yesteryear.
 
Yeah, literally posted yesterday. And it's really not hard to see why someone such as William Daniels would not want his own voice to be used for AI. To actors who've done some very recognizable voice work like William Daniels, their very distinctive voices were part of their livelihood. He's not the only one to have made statements like this, which they've felt the need to do with the growing use of AI. They have a right to opt out letting their voice be used in AI. Disney just got very lucky that James Earl Jones had agreed to it before his passing.
 
Ridley Scott says they're in the process of making Gladiator III, whatever that means. Don't know why the studio would want to make another one after the box office failure of the (unnecessary) sequel. And it's not like they'd need to make it to appease a red hot director (Tarantino, Villeneuve, Nolan) so they can make other movies with him.

There should be xenomorphs in the Arena. 😆 That would help the box office.
 
Why do they bother to create several episodes before knowing how they'll be received by the fans of the original show?

Rejected pilots used to sometimes be turned into one-shot variety show episodes.
