The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
Those were all pretty fun shows. I guess we'll see.
Those involved in making this seem to have forgotten that the first movie wasn't about explosions, gun fights and chase scenes.
It was a "Fish Out of Water" story that happened to be bracketed by a chase scene at the beginning and a shootout at the end, with both sides coming to respect/understand their approaches to police methods.
How very 20th century.
The very first SHAFT had far less action as well. They saved most of it for Gordon Parks' sequel.
Guess that's what happens when you make a sequel 40 years from the original.
That's a given. But I was referring to the Gordon Parks sequel, SHAFT'S BIG SCORE, which he filmed a year or two after the first.
There’s a discussion here about various prequels, sequels, spinoffs etc, including the X-Files reboots and supposed spinoffs to Wednesday, Peaky Blinders, Extraction and others https://www.bloomberg.com/news/news...spinoff-as-streaming-enters-its-franchise-era
Lol, we have the premise of the new Spartacus / Ashur show.
It's a reboot centered around the idea of What if Ashur didn't die and was given Batiatus' gladiator school?

This seems like such an odd series to choose to try to revive in such a convoluted manner.
If they really need to reboot something reboot Space: Above and Beyond.
Or Stargate.

Please bring back Stargate, and go off of the movie rather than the wildly divergent path of the shows.
they must have thought murder in a hospital was too far-fetched.
I, personally, am glad there is no new Stargate.
I don't want to see the old cast making cameos while handing it off to newbies that suck and bore me.
They've already fought at least two bad guys in the universe and beat them -- that's enough. I don't need a string of foes just to keeps a franchise going.
I don't want any woke additions and social justice bullshit, which is getting shoved into so many shows these days, so why would a new Stargate be any different.
And the last Stargate project, the prequel shorts, forgot continuity, was like fan wankery, and even though composer Joel Goldsmith had people who helped him over the years on the shows, they didn't even keep it in-family and instead hired some new composer. I don't need more of that.
My two cents.

What I was thinking was a back-to-basics show in new continuity (not a timeline reset). So it is just a USAF/USSF team find a StarGate and use it to explore the galaxy.
