The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[CorporalClegg]

That Monk movie was pretty rough. Psych movies were okay at best.

Royal Pains was on life support the last season. Not sure what they plan to do there.

‘John Wick’ Sequel Series in the Works at Lionsgate TV

Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski are among the project's executive producers.

There is something I don't understand in this article: will Lionsgate make an agreement with a platform like Netflix etc. and leave the approval and budget of the TV series to them? Or will it be like publishing its own movies internationally with the importer method. Will the new John Wick TV series make a distribution agreement with local platforms in each country, for example: Tubi in the USA, TOD in Mena, will Lionsgate make an agreement with any local platform in Turkey, give the budget itself and decide how many seasons the show will continue? I feel like there will be a second one.

If there will be a second one, I think it can be released on several platforms in each country.

I've shared it before but I want to share it again. It seems to me that this series' budget will be covered entirely by Lionsgate and it will be broadcast as 3rd party content on Hulu in the US and it will continue globally as in AMC's current The Walking Dead series, with exclusive deals on local platforms and TV channels and in certain regions with Amazon or a local version of an American or British channel, because the money will come from 'exclusive' deals.

additional: or they partner with netflix.

The Holdovers is getting a TV adaptation.

Tom Hanks is returning for a Greyhound sequel.

NBC wants to bring back Royal Pains. At this rate, with the Suits spinoff and the talk about White Collar, might as well just bring back Covert Affairs, Psych, Monk, In Plain Sight and Burn Notice while we're at it.

Now would be a good time to bring back "Chuck." Levy is not a movie star and Strahovski should be available with "Handmaid's Tale" ending.

But how do the other actors feel about Levi, and to a lesser extent, Baldwin?

 

[Jayson1]

They will like the money. Money makes lots of conflicts go away.

Yes please to Burn Notice

I enjoyed Greyhound. It was fairly accurate for a Hollywood battle depicting the war between convoys and subs in the Battle of the Atlantic. I'd enjoy a sequel if it's done well.

The shooting of the untitled science fiction and fantasy film directed by J.J. Abrams, which is not connected to any film series and whose plot is kept secret, and which will star Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey and Samuel L. Jackson, has begun.

Damn. That's an interesting looking cast but "directed by JJ Abrams" and the fact he's being his usual secretive self is already a turn-off.

I looked on the internet and saw that the name of the movie was previously announced as "Acorns" but the name could change. My guess is that it will be distributed by Warner Bros. and if it catches on, Bad Robot could be the first work to be an intellectual property.

Jar-Jar is on my list of 'avoid until it's free' when it comes to directors. The last thing of his I paid to see was STID.

 

[Owain Taggart]

I imagine it could be a children's movie. There's no way they aren't getting him into all sorts of misadventure. I'd call it Jar-Jar's No Good Very Bad Day.

Jenna Ortega also mentioned in the interview published in V Magazine today that this movie will be action-oriented.

Not surprised. Jar-Jar getting chased down after causing chaos on a monumental level pretty much calls for it to be an action-adventure movie. I expect lots of hijinks.
