The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
I thought you were kidding but it's real. But.. why? A sequel should have come out early last decade.
Last decade? Isn't that movie nearly twenty years old at this point?
That's a weird one to make a sequel out of, as I thought I remembered the movie being a financial flop.
For a second I thought you were talking about Slumdog Millionaire being a flop

Oh, yeah I guess I can see why that would be.
That one definitely wasn't a flop
Yes the original movie came out in 2007, I was trying to say a sequel should have come out in the 2010s, not now. Hope that helps.
Maybe they figure Travolta, Allen, Lawrence and Macy's respective salaries are now low enough to make it worthwhile. It's probably a direct to D+ thing.
Oh maybe. I didn't even remember who was in it.
I only really remember because this was the only movie playing at the right time for the kids to get my wife out of the house while we set up a surprise birthday party. She couldn't figure out why two teenaged girls wanted to see a terrible Tim Allen/John Travolta biker comedy.
I mean, it has its moments, but I think the best thing about it would be the unlikely pairing between the 4 of them. The movie itself felt tired and derivative even when it had come out.
Mira Sorvino has said that she and Lisa Kudrow are in talks for a "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" sequel.
It seems like my High School reunion has a sequel every 5 years. I didn't go to the one during the peak of Covid, though, it was before the vaccines were developed. I skipped the reunion, so I could have a better chance to live and be able to make the next one.
We watched the original with my teenage girls a few years ago and we all really enjoyed it. It would be lovely to see Mira Sorvino making a comeback after that POS Weinstein did so much to kill her career.
Maybe they can remake Pray for the Wild Cats instead.
Apparently they're trying to make a live-action remake of the "Gargoyles" cartoon, which I have never watched but have been exposed to due to my Dad really liking it. From this exposure to it, from how bad I know recent live-action remakes of old cartoons tend to be, and from just intuition I have a sense that this live-action remake is going to be trash.
Not that I'll ever know, because I don't plan on watching it.

Movie theater movie or movie on Amazon?

I don't know - the 1972 'made for tv' movie had pretty good effects for its time.
