The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Does Liam Neeson do ... comedy?

Well Nielsen wasn’t known for comedy before Airplane, so they probably want the same type of thing with Neeson.

I was just tying that but you beat me to it.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Yeah, it's a tradition with these kinds of movies. Lloyd Bridges didn't do comedy before Airplane either (he was offered the lead in Star Trek in fact), but you wouldn't know it by the films he did afterwards.

All good points. Okay, we'll see how this goes. I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[Set Harth]

Yep, that's it. And it feels like it keeps getting shorter. In certain cases, movies ends up on a streaming service before they're finished their theatrical runs, and yes I've seen it happen more than once, and a 45-day window is a good reason to prevent this happening.

Remember when WB had a 0-day window? Wild times. Then at some point I seem to recall they had settled on 45 days which seemed a reasonable compromise. Then they blew that completely out of the water. Dune 2 for example: 81 days.

Was that during the pandemic? It would have made sense back then given people were told to stay home as much as possible.

My brain went to the cable channel not the theatre chain at first glance.

Does Liam Neeson do ... comedy?

To be honest, that's exactly how Leslie Neilsen got into comedy; He was at one point known for his serious roles. Then he was offered the role for Police Squad/Naked Gun and his deadpan delivery was perfect and lead him to doing more comedy.

If this movie works out they need to have Seth do a reboot of Airplane.

An actual new tv show from CW?!? I'm boggled! I'll probably check it out because 1) I'm a Holmes fan and 2) Thewlis.

At the Amazon Cinemacon presentation on Wednesday, neither the John Krasinski Jack Ryan film nor the Henry Cavill Voltron film were mentioned; these will probably come to Prime Video.

 

[Starkers]

Neeson absolutely does comedy. His cameo in Derry Girls is hilarious.

Until one doesn't work out, then we hate him and demand he never make movies again.

 

[The Wormhole]

I'm convinced he was chosen because, Seth knew him and had him in his wild west comedy movie. Plus the funny scene in Ted where he buys a box of Trix cereal.

I'm shocked. You forgot Neeson's cameo on The Orville. Season 1, Episode 4. He plays the character Dorahl.

His role as a vengeful snow plow driver in the movie Cold Pursuit was a pretty dark comedy.

According to wiki, the new jack ryan movie will be released in the united states by amazon mgm studios and internationally by paramount pictures in theaters. but the movie was not mentioned in the 2 panels at cinema con. they are probably making this movie a prime video special in partnership with paramount pictures.

Surely, you can't be serious!

I kid, I kid! But you must have seen that coming!

I do recall his role on STAR TREK:ORVILLE in season 1. I always saw that as him I think doing a favor for Seth because they must have become friends while doing the Old West movie. Charlize Theron was also in that season. In fact I I very aware because right now I am in the middle of season 1 of STAR TREK:ORVILLE in my Trek marathon.
