The reboot/remake bandwagon rumbles on...

If it was Will Smith voicing a genie that looked more like the original, it would have been fine. Instead we get something that looks like it's from a porn parody

I've just read that the anime Your Name is getting a live action remake.

This was a film released in 2016

No, really.

I hope all the best jokes aren't in the trailer but that looks like mindless fun...

...my kind of movie.

If I'm being hypercritical the smashy-up big stuff is a bit "so what" and not terribly convincing. Hey ho, if the one-liners keep coming it could be fun.

That might actually work.

Time travel is a great premise for an ongoing TV-series as it is such a rich vein to mine. Doctor Who. Quantum Leap, and Sliders being three that spring most readily to mind.

Edit: Ok, Sliders is more about parallel timelines than time travel per se but close enough.

I know they sometimes release trailers before the CGI has been fully completed, but good lord does that look awful

Terry Crews would have been a good choice, he's got the enormous triangular torso and can be quite funny.

I hope Will Smith playing the Genie as the Fresh Prince was just for the trailers.

There's a new Aladdin trailer out today with less focus on the genie and overall it looks a far far better film now. He's still a bit annoying but the surrounding scenes look good. Probably someone got fired for the amount of global ridicule that first Aladdin teaser ended up getting!

What's the bet that the Dink will lead.

They appear to have accidentally uploaded the Brazzers porn parody instead of the actual trailer.

Child's Play 2019 Trailer REACTION

This one is the reboot that's separate from the existing films, there's still going to be a TV series from the original films with Brad Dourif doing Chucky's voice at some point. The trailer does look interesting though, as much as I didn't want to like it.

Chucky without Brad Dourif's voice isn't Chucky. End of.

Does Mark Hamill as Chucky change your mind? https://twitter.com/HamillHimself/status/111216348...

I didn't want to like the remake, I was on the side of the new TV series continuation of the films, but, but, Aubrey Plaza and Mark Hamill??... It's making it really hard not to be interested in it.

"Peep Show co-creator Sam Bain has revealed that the U.S. TV network FX is working on a gender-swapped remake of the cult British comedy"

https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2019/05/fx-developi...

After many appalling US remakes of UK comedies they still haven't learnt.

[FourWheelDrift]

Well this was unexpected, no idea why it's been rebooted though.

I didn't get beyond 01:17 of the trailer before stopping and posting it here, not watching any more. Charlie's Angels - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSUq4VfWfjE

I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming remake of Dune. Mainly because Denis Villeneuve is directing.
