The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

JURASSIC PARK had me at ''Objects in mirror--'' but lost me after ''-----are closer than they appear.''
I grow weary with cookie-cutter checkboxing more-of-the-samers. Now what's this I hear about Jim Carrey starring in SUBSTANCE 2 MUCH 2 BELIEVE?

That stealth Godzilla/Bambi reboot is quite likely the best dino film by default!

Dwayne Johnson is making Jumanji 3 this November. Or Jumanji 4, depending on how you want to count.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

By himself? Or are Hart, Gillan, Black, etc. also back?


Not sure why I even ask, I haven't watched any of the movies past the Robin Williams one.

BioShock movie aims to shoot in 2026.

There's a live action Barney the Dinosaur movie in the works that's shooting for a tone similar to Barbie.

They already made like 20 Bring It On sequels. Not sure we need another one but hey I am not going to object to a sexy cheerleader movie if they want to make one.

Universal has mastered the lower budget direct-to-video sequel-in-name-only that has nothing to do with the previous movie -- Bring It On, Hard Target, Kindergarten Cop, Inside Man, R.I.P.D., Cop and a Half, Honey, Jarhead (somehow a real-life story about not seeing combat during war time has three high testosterone action sequels). Somehow they got Billy Baldwin and Donald Sutherland to return for Backdraft 2, if you are interested in a firefighter movie without fires. Then they have their "continuing" franchises like Tremors, Dragonheart, The Scorpion King and Death Race.

Warner tried to get in on the action (including two Lost Boys sequels) but it didn't pan out for them.

That's quite a talent! But somehow I'm sure they're making shareholders happy while the customer feels like they've been fleeced.

We need this movie:

The Killer Chain-Saw Juggling Clowns from Outer Space Massacre

If they don't do a Jurassic Park parody right out the gate, I'll be severely disappointed.

A water bottle sitting on a table. The camera focuses in on it as ripples can be seen. Sounds of foliage rustling around as hints of something enormous and purple are seen through leaves. Suddenly the creature steps out and is confronted with a gaggle of kids who are all making a beeline towards him. "My My, I seem to have found some fearsome creatures! Err, hi kids! Who wants to play?"

Many might consider Hooper's original to be one already. I myself find it scary yet overrated, though it's obviously more ambitious than the entire Jason Vorhees output.

I'm surprised no one has tried to remake Hooper's second film, "Eaten Alive", which is, IMO, just as good, has a good performance by Neville Brand and has Robert Englund in his first onscreen role.

I've heard of it, but I never found out if it was theatrically released in my state, or whether it was scattered or regional. Not having its own sequels might be a strike against remaking it.
