The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
I feel like Operaman would have a field day with Sandler's career trajectory.
If there was a sequel that cried out for a "Kobra Kai" style reexamination where the villain becomes the protagonist, it's Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin
The ROBCOP original was more great than good. The TOTAL RECALL original was more good than great, yet it was as good as good can be. I saw the remakes once each, yet I literally cannot remember a single second of the RECALL redo. That MIGHT be an insult to Bryan Cranston, but his TOTAL RECALL is an insult to TRUMBO. And ROBO's remake, while more good than bad, cannot match the TOTAL bad. Had it done so, I would have forgotten that thing, too. What a waste.....
Inflation. The Rockless MUMMY came out a few years before. I certainly never saw its sequel----ONCE---to see the Rocked-up version. That dude's never given an actual acting performance since BE COOL. i THINK that was the GET SHORTY sequel, but except for Mr. Eyebrow it's even worse than the TOTAL RECALL one.
Imagine my relief. Let's have Poland remake SPECIAL BULLETIN as a theatrical movie.
I'm quite behind the curve on many of these interchangeable things, but do you imply that we are on the verge of getting a ''realistic'' RoboCop, as in ROBOCOP, the (shudder) reality show?
Dana Carvey already has.
I think it will be an R rated work. In my mind, it will be set in a dark future like Blade Runner. It will only take the main plot and characters of the first movie and the Robocop look and make it a completely different work with a little bit of The Boys humor. But I don't know what Amazon will do, only Amazon will do this with a very big budget, or rather I know, or rather I guess.
I'm really curious about what the budgets of Voltron and He Man will be and what the box office gross will be. I hope both movies are shot for under $100 million and aim for $400-500 million. And I hope they do well at the box office, they'll be good movies. and 'I hope' Amazon will eventually have big movie franchises other than Bond and Rocky/Creed. and Amazon MGM Studios will be listed among the big Hollywood companies.Meanwhile Sterling K. Brown will star in a live action version of Voltron

As a fan of the book/poem, I'm scared what will get lost in trying to compress it into 2 hours.Christopher Nolan's next movie revealed to be an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey.
Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Revealed: Next Film Is ‘Mythic Action Epic’ Shot With New Imax Technology
Christopher Nolan's next project at Universal has been revealed as "The Odyssey," a "mythic action epic" bringing Homer's work to the screen.
Don't worry, Nolan's movies are typically three hours.
They'll row faster.
I think that, after the Flash movie disaster, combined with the success of "Penguin," the powers that be at WB (including Gunn) are slowly easing out Andy Muschietti while simultaneously trying to figure out how to bring in the Reeves/Pattinson batverse. This delay is part of that. The Brave and Bold movie is also not on the schedule anymore (if it ever was).

New POWER RANGERS Movie Reportedly in Development at Paramount Pictures — GeekTyrant
It looks like Paramount Pictures is going to jump back into the Power Rangers franchise and try to reboot it with a new movie. There was an attempt to jumpstart the Power Rangers film franchise in 2017, but that vision of the franchise didn’t take. Not long after that, Hasbro teamed up wit

They tried to make a movie before but it didn't work. While all other Paramount movies except Sonik are failing at the box office, it would be more profitable for them to make a high budget show by giving it to Amazon instead of making it as a Paramount movie.
I so want it to be about Stingray but the actor is blowing up. Not sure they could get him to do it.
For those who can't deal with Koreans and subtitles?
I guess yes but this is ridiculous, Netflix also dubs in English for Americans who don't want to watch this show with subtitles. So it's unnecessary, and I don't know if it's still the same. But the former CEO of Netflix said that 70% of American users prefer dubbed shows and movies whose native language is not English. That's why most of the people who watched this show have already watched it dubbed in English. Netflix even dubs anime in English just for American viewers.
@#$% them!!!! Moments like this make me ashamed to be American. Great movie productions deserve their native language as long as the subtitles are legible.* If the titles are distracting, but the movie's still great, watch it the first or second time without them. I admit to watching a dubbed BATTLE ROYALE and it was a cute novelty, but it was a one-time thing long after listening to the original fantastic Japanese voices.
(*I will admit many American TV shows and films sound better AND tougher in Deutsch despite that, but still.)
The former CEO of Netflix said this around 2016-2017. I read the information they gave regarding the use of English dubbing on Netflix on Wiki.
