The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

  • Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
  • Start date
Dirty Dancing 2 with Jennifer Grey is moving forward.

Not to be confused with Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, which might've been an original movie they just slapped the Dirty Dancing name onto, then gave Patrick Swayze a weird cameo where he wasn't even playing the same character because the timeline doesn't work.

Also in the news, the Don't Move directors are remaking Darkman. But Sam Raimi is calling is a sequel, so who knows. Liam Neeson starred in the original. There were two lower budget DTV sequels with Arnold Vosloo in the role.

I think Havana Nights is a good movie with some good music. As you say it doesn't need to be connected to dirty dancing.
 
There's a new Faces of Death movie coming out April 10. Not sure what the appeal will be when the original came out during a time where you couldn't verify that the most disturbing parts were all fictional, and today real footage is all over the internet.

A high school friend whose family had a VCR (mine never did) rented it. I never need to see it again.
 
Yeah, I never understood the appeal of snuff films. Especially since, as mentioned up-thread, they can quite easily be found on the web, and one doesn't even really need to go looking in the dark web for them either anymore, if their Google-fu is good enough.
 
That's quite an odd take on Zorro. My favs were with Bandera, and there was even one with Anthony Hopkins as a retired version of Zorro in his old age. But Jean Desjardin is good casting. And at least it's not a modern-day setting.
 
Rakia Media is turning Chia Pets into an animated movie and/or TV series. This definitely seems like a case of "let's get this IP so we can turn it into something" instead of "I have an idea for this IP."

Maybe the studios are finally ready for my pitch about Mike and Ike fighting the Sour Patch Kids for the fate of the world.
 
Chia Pets???

What now? the bar is getting lower and lower. Pet Rocks: The Movie?

The character last made an live-action appearance in the infamously terrible movie The Snowman starring Michael Fassbender that never actually finished filming but they released it anyway.
 
"Detective Hole" just sounds wrong.

Next thing you'll tell me is he'll have a three-way crossover with Richard Diamond and Thomas Magnum, titled: Tom, Dick and Harry.
