Teenage me would likely be very excited about this...
Pendleton wrote only a small fraction I believe, there were a lot of ghost writers over the years!
There's a very clear Punisher vibe, as far as I can recall, so be interesting to see how Black plans to handle the character.
My interest in anything from Shane Black has reduced but not entirely vanished after The Predator. I think I’d rather have seen his Doc Savage movie than this, though.
Anyone seen it? It sounds right up my street apart from the fact of Wahlberg in the lead…
He's had big gaps before though, it was 8 years between Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3. He's never exactly been a prolific director. I would imagine he still does a lot of script doctoring but that's rarely officially recognised (at least not at the time you're doing it)
Jamie Lee Curtis is the new Jessica Fletcher. I have to say, I don’t see it

Yeah, her casting was reported back in December. Another pointless remake. Like I've said way too many times, if they have such good ideas, they'd be coming up with their own characters, TV shows, and movies. This is a nostalgia grab. The need the nostalgia and character names 'cause their ideas are not good/not so good/awful/squirrel finding a nut once in a while.

Costs are up and failures are bigger, so they're grabbing everything that's existed before with name recognition in hopes that it brings in the dollars. Even something original like the new Matlock had to use the Matlock name for some reason. They even made a joke about it in The Studio where someone got the rights to Kool Aid Man.
If you want to grab the attention of the fans of the previous show, why not make it about their kids continuing the legacy? Then you can bring back actors in their old roles for guest spots. Hell, the Baywatch revival is doing just that.

Me neither. The only death-oriented productions I enjoy Curtis appearing involve BLUE STEEL or multiple dogs.
Which still most of the time shouldn't even be done.
But Angela isn't with us anymore. Neither is Jerry Orbach (the spin-off series "The Law and Harry McGraw"). All that is left for this series is a remake. Which again, in my opinion, shouldn't be done.

The TV series Fletcher had some of the same things going for the character as the character Columbo:
Older, innocent, nosy but maybe dumb and dismissed until you realize it's too late. Curtis looks like an angry older Karen who you know will be in your business and calling the police every chance she gets.

The very epitome of unnecessary!
Hell there's an argument the '91 version was unnecessary, I actually preferred the Peck/Mitchum version, certainly I preferred the ending where rather than killing Cady, Bowden instead sends him back to the prison he hates to rot! (I'm conscious that even in the original book Cady dies)
I agree. Even with all the talent connected to this show I still just don't care. I have already seen both versions of "Cape Fear." I don't need another version.
