The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

I tend to agree. I’m not sure who they’d cast but as this is Michael Mann directing, rather than the sort of hacks who used to direct belated sequels with a whole new cast (think High Noon 2, Splash Too or Scarlett), I trust him to get it right. Though there aren’t too many young DeNiros out there!

I kinda think Austin Butler might be a good fit for Chris (Kilmer). I guess the guy who played young Pacino in The Offer (another Godfather link!) might be an obvious choice, though if they were more interested in just capturing the energy of Pacino’s performance than having a lookalike, I can imagine Christian Bale recreating his OTT shouty performance.
Hmmm, I wonder if I was onto something there or is Bale up for an entirely different role?
 
In fact, it would make sense to complete the trilogy by filming two three-hour films, each a few months apart, and releasing them six or seven months apart in 2029. However, considering James Cameron's style, the second film might not even make it to the first film's 10th anniversary.
 
Oh, goodness, I just found out James Cameron's middle name is ... Francis.

So if he doesn't like that we are tired of all these Avatar sequels, we can say: Lighten up, Francis.
 
After its controversial, widely disliked, conclusion in 2021, Line of Duty is back for a 7th season:

I was one of the few that didn't mind the reveal that H was actually a nobody who'd been stooging around for several seasons. I just really hope they don't make it Hastings after all.

Still looking forward to it coming back.

I was after the first, never got the hype
Yeah I saw the first Avatar film once at the cinema, never revisited it and haven't seen the sequel.

Yes, I could definitely see what he was getting at; it was clearly a swipe at the useless politicians governing us during the pandemic and for the previous few years. They weren’t masterminds, there was no overarching conspiracy, they were just incompetent and greedy rubes. I can also see why people were disappointed, though.

Either way, I’m glad it’s back. Hoping for a few new Tedisms.

Hopefully we'll be cooking with gas!
 
Finally we will find out what happened to the people on Stargate Universe and whether or not Atlantis is still on Earth or back to the Pegasus Galaxy.
 
I just thought it was boring.

It was riding on the coat tails of the then 3d fad.

That said, can't recall what it was but saw an advertisement for a new 3d film the other day...thought that was done.
