The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Which makes the new announcement(of which she is listed as exec producer) even funnier.

Executive producer titles can mean anything in movies. Could be that she only got the title because of contractual requirements and she has no actual involvement, like a lot of prolific producers (Michael Bay and JJ Abrams come to mind).

I'm aware. Doesn't make it any less funny that she is being credited & paid for a further continuation after she made a (terrible) movie directly mocking such continuations.
 
Will Smith is credited as an executive producer for Cobra Kai just because he was a producer on the remake starring his son, yet has nothing to do with Cobra Kai.
 
Somehow I forgot that they made The Matrix Resurrections. Was it any good?
I loved the original, was enjoying the first sequel until it went boogaloo at the end and was bored stupid by the second sequel. I was pleasantly surprised by Resurrections and enjoyed it quite a bit but that could’ve been just due to my low expectations.
 
I think the mooted live-action series
Just added mooted to my vocabulary text file I've been keeping...

It wasn't good (the action scenes, in particular, were dreadful, and the mix-and-match casting choices didn't really make a ton of sense), but it was kind of amusing in that it was Lana Wachowski taking $200 million of Warner Bros.' money and making an incredibly metatextual two-hour-long "fuck you" to Hollywood's sequel and franchise mentality.
I think the latter may be why the action scenes were so terrible. Unfortunately, I don't know if that F-U was juicy enough to make me want to watch it again.
 
Variety is reporting that James Cameron is set to direct a "Fantastic Voyage" remake, set to come out in 2027-28. So, plenty of time for it to not happen.
 
Doesn't he have like 5 more Avatar and a couple Alita movies he's making first?

Don't worry. He will download into a real life Avatar and spend the next 50 years making all of those movies. Not to mention Titantic 2:Jack's Back. Turns out he was a pretty good swimmer and was able to get a board one of the other escape rafts. But now he wants revenge since Rose wouldn't let him up on her board despite their being plenty of room. Not before one his French girls helped him heal though and get his strength back. Now he is pissed with nothing but a desire for revenge, a gun and a eye patch for the cold water did ruin one of his eyes.
 
Does anyone care ?

Dude's 69 and takes a good amount of time between finishing films. He's not Ridley pumping them out. It's reasonable to wonder if he's going to get to a movie booked somewhere around 5-8 films from now.
