The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Rumor of the day, Assassin's Creed, Jurassic World and Fast and Furious are being turned into TV shows.

I've always thought that Assassin's Creed would make for a better TV show than the movie they ended up making. More time for world-building, and more time in the Animus. I could see it being an anthology show, where each season explores a different setting, and ultimately a different major target.
 
Be funny if they’re all turned into procedurals

I'm turning Armageddon to an episodic TV series. Every week there's a new asteroid that Ben Affleck and company have to stop. But to change things up, it will be different types of asteroids. Asteroid made of chocolate, asteroid made of wood, asteroid that's a giant basketball, an invisible asteroid, etc. The time traveling asteroid will allow us to bring Owen Wilson back to guest star.
 
Popeye is in the public domain now. I predict an origin film looming... ;)

Actually the studio behind the 'Winnie the Pooh' horror movie recently announced they're doing the same thing for Popeye.

ICYMI, Sony Pictures TV's president shared: "It is so frustrating. Those long delays are just absolutely untenable and they are not fair... watching 8 episodes then 2 years later getting another 8 is just not good ... we can’t afford to lose fans. It is hard enough to get them."

Doesn't have to always be asteroids. Every week the world on the verge of being destroyed and the only people who can save is this heroic bunch of oil rig drillers.

The first one is from the Winnie the Pooh people. The second one is not.
 
No, no, it's a different disaster every week and they have to recruit a different group of Blue Collar professionals every time. This week, plumbers, next week welders.

They can do it "American Horror Story" wise though and use the same actors playing different characters.
 
Instead of Assassin's Creed how about Assassin's Creek. Dawson's movie career is on down slide. His mentor Steven Spielberg won't return his calls and Joey and Pacey are living happily together so he moves back home to Capeside and starts hanging around his creek again. That is when someone from the deep state makes contact with him and wants to recruit him as a killer for hire. Nobody would think of a Hollywood director would also be a killer. Dawson agrees to do it and each week he will get his mission from someone coming to meet him at his creek to give him is latest mission.
