The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Andy Samberg wishes "everyone" watched Brooklyn 99.

 

An Exorcist trilogy (via Blumhouse and Peacock) with Ellen Burstyn reprising her role from the original. Although they will not be a remake.

 

I'm actually looking forward to this new Chucky tv show that is a soft reboot but still in connection to the older movies.

 

It's been what, 4 years since the last reboot of this? Which I actually enjoyed, especially the first season.

 

The latest version of The Saint finds its leading man (a better choice than either of the Chrisses, who’d been linked to it recently, IMHO). Oddly enough, the actor has also been rumoured to be under contention for Bond but looks like he’s going to do another Roger Moore role instead/first: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/rege-jean-page-the-saint-movie-1234988363/

 

Luiz Guzman is Gomez Addams in the live-action reboot. A little older and less smooth than I’d have expected but he’s always good fun https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/...JW8ugF2UU1h2I4xBduF2WRxQQb2PGUOfaf7cJ5lWEnc6w

 

Of all the actors that have played Gomez, Tim Curry is the one that looks the most like the original Chas Addams cartoon panels. At least he did when in full makeup and costume.

 

True. Sadly, that movie was so bad I turned it off after 10 minutes. And I *adore* Tim Curry!

 

Catherine Zeta-Jones is being lined up as Morticia https://deadline.com/2021/08/cather...a-addams-netflix-wednesday-series-1234811704/

 

I still prefer Raul Julia as Gomez

 

He's unavailable at this time.

 

I think that Eva Green could be a good Morticia

 

Well, she does speak French.

 

Oh yes. Though as they’re skewing a little older (Wednesday will be at university, for example) I suppose CJZ is more age appropriate to Guzman.

 

He tends to be the first one I think of when I think of Gomez.

 

Peacock is developing a Field of Dreams TV series.

Let me guess, it's an episodic procedural where Shoeless Joe helps an Iowa detective solve a case every week. And in season three, they get a mobile emitter that allows him to leave the baseball field.
