The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Phil123]

Futurama is back again, again. So far DiMaggio hasn't signed but producers are hopeful. They will recast if he doesn't

I do hate a recast of an icon.

Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin? That could work...

Paul Gross as Drebin Jr. He's already played Neilsons son in Men with Brooms and his mentee in Due South. Gotta take advantage of all the fan service.

Jurassic Bark left me so torn up that I can never watch this show again. Just reading the news of the reboot kind of bums me out.

DiMaggio is tweeting/retweeting a storm since the news of the revival broke. Apparently a casting call for his replacement went out two weeks ago. He's not pleased, and neither are a lot of fans.

^ Well you hold out for more money and one of two things is going to happen.

Come now, what does everyone say, "Stop remaking the good movies and remake the crappy ones better". Well here it is.

I'm sure someone bright it up already, but The Fresh Prince appears to be coming back as Bel Air. I don't know how i feel about this. It seems like it won't be quite the same goofy show.

It looks boring to me. Who wants a serious version of , Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

I am guessing the same people who wanted an "adult" version of Archie??

Rescue Rangers trailer. Disappointed they are going the meta route.

That somehow looks equally amazing and awful.

I wonder if this was pitched to Disney specifically for Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers? Or these were the characters Disney allowed them to use? Hard to see from the little we know if they actually do a Rescue Rangers style adventure at all.

The premise of them being actors could have been done with anyone... exploring cartoons exiting from different eras and styles of animation was an idea I wanted to see in a Roger Rabbit sequel for decades. Why use Chip and Dale for this?

 

[Owain Taggart]

That looks horrible. It looks too much like forced references. I mean, it works in a parody like that segment with all the Disney princesses in Wreck-It-Ralph 2, which was the best part of the movie by far, but it kind of feels dissonant here.

 

[Jayson1]

I think it looks like it might be fun. I am now looking forward to it.

 

[UssGlenn]

Just to show how long Rescue Rangers has been in development, Rachel Bloom's husband is one of the writers. She recently posted a picture of her reading an early draft on the set of the first season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which was in 2015.

Was the SOPRANOS commercial during the Super Bowl any good? (I never cared for the acting ''skills'' of Robert Iler.)

There wasn't any acting. They just recreated the opening credits with Meadow driving an electric car.
