The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Set Harth]

I'd mix Gremlins with the disaster genre by having it set somewhere that's hit by either a tsunami or hurricane. Then you'd have a double-whammy to deal with.

That's not possible. Ryan Coogler wants to revive it, but there's been no movement. Nothing cast, nothing filmed.

I found someone on Reddit asking about it. It's click bait.

Well that figures. I didn't see a link in the post. Just the graphic, which looked legit. Damn.

This of course makes it easy to explain how Gizmo gets wet. Also with electricity out who can keep track when it becomes past midnight and thus one might eat not knowing the time.

Yes, great minds think alike! Probably also the easiest and fastest way to convey the rules and properties of Gremlins to a new generation.

They are reportedly looking for someone around McKenna Grace's age for the role of Rapunzel.

Supposedly CBS is looking to make another FBI spinoff called.... FBI: CIA, about a joint clandestine task force taking out the garbage in NYC.

I've already prepared my pitch for NCIS: NFL, about crimes that involve current NFL players and coaches who went to Navy. Somehow there will be 22 of them per year even though almost no one from Navy makes the NFL. Maybe make it a buddy cop show with Terry Crews and Brian Bosworth.

Ugh... I wish those things would go away. I guess they make money for someone though...

David Leitch supposedly in talks to direct Ocean's 14.

Just a couple weeks ago, I made a joke amongst friends on the real world about expecting a TV series about the ATF set in the FBI universe. Looks like I was on the right track, just a different agency.

I hope to hell that's a working title and if this does happen it gets a different title. FBI: CIA is one hella clunky title. But of course, branding is a thing, so that's probably going to be the actual title.

On another plane of existence, the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover just developed an ethereal boner under his spectral evening gown.

I mean, geez, they ought to just call it: "Domestic Surveillance, the series."

I wasn't going to say anything but you went there and... well... yep!

What was that Cartoon Network live-action procedural parody with 48 capital letters and semi-colons?

FBI: CSI: DDS: NY: LDS

FBI forensics team that specializes in teeth-related crimes but only in New York. And they're all Mormons so if they figure out who the bad guy is Saturday night, they will wait until Monday to go after him.

To be honest, I feel like that movie has aged pretty badly. The last time I watched it several years ago, I found it difficult to get through it.

How many Resident Evil movies have we had within the last decade? Might be my imagination, but seems there's one announced every year.

I think they tossed in a couple of tv shows as well, though they didn't do to well in the ratings.

The past decade? Two. The Final Chapter in 2017 and Welcome to Raccoon City in 2021. Unless you're including animated movies, in which case there's Vendetta in 2017 and Death Island in 2023.
