The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Aragorn]

I liked that movie but wasn't it based on a true story? How does one do a sequel?

It's based on a fictional novel and the ship is fictional too. The character in the book is George Krause, inspired by George P. Hunter, while the character in the movie is Ernest Krause.

Too many reboots, not enough guts or new ideas.

Twas ever thus I guess. Hollywood has been doing this since the beginning.

Yes it's annoying, but sometimes it's amazing (The Thing)

Short of mass boycotts of such films I'm not sure it'll ever end.

Do you mean the 2011 version of the movie?

I thought I was the only person who liked it

Carrie adaptation rights have been with MGM since the 1970s, and over the years they've made two sequels unrelated to the first film, and even a remake with Chloë Grace Moretz. Therefore, when Amazon bought MGM, they decided to adapt it for TV along with other MGM franchises. The Carrie TV series will be a miniseries.

Do you mean the 2011 version of the movie?

Maybe the 1982 version.

Maybe the 1982 version.

That version was the best for sure but I didn't mind the other version either.

Jason Momoa reported to be the lead for Helldivers.

Ooh.

Cool game hope that they don't fuck it up

I thought of the old Clark Gable film.

I don't know about Rockford- the character was such a creature of the times (1970's). He might have to change too much for today and then it's not really Rockford so what's the point? Might as well just do "PI Guy"...

 

[Nerys Myk]

That version was the best for sure but I didn't mind the other version either.

It was a remake of a 1951 film based on a novella from 1938.

I know. I love the original story

No I meant 1982!

The best bit of the 2011 version was the end credits (I'm not being prissy, as I recall they set everything up in that for the 82 version)
