The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[137th Gebirg]

Really hope it's better than the 2006 film with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. That thing sucked absolute ass (IMO) and was quite forgettable. Some people thought it was underrated. Rotten Tomatoes has numbers. Pretty lackluster.

If they can (he's a bit on the older side - around 77 now), I'd like to see them try to get Jan Hammer to compose a new score for it. If they're going to do it, they need to do it right. Atmosphere played a big role in the series and the music was a core part of that atmosphere. That should be re-captured if they're trying to do a nostalgia piece.

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.

If Jar Jar Binks = O.J. Simpson in that boat scene from the first Naked Gun movie...

old news but new to me:

Sleeping Dogs movie is dead, says star Donnie Yen

‘You know how Hollywood goes’

www.polygon.com

There was going to be a movie based on the video game Sleeping Dogs. It's seemed very likely but no longer.

I'm not usually keen on video game movies but since this video game was heavily inspired by a couple of John Woo films, it would have made an awesome take on the classic HK crime action film. I'm still not counting it entirely out, though.

Yeah, that story was in no way finished. But I thought there was no hope for a sequel!
