The reboot/remake bandwagon rumbles on...
Discussion
Resident Evil. Nothing to do with the Milla Jojovich films, this is a fresh start film based on the first two RE games.

Short Circuit coming around again after the last attempt didn't happen, this time with a 'Latinx twist', in other words, a Latino/Hispanic angle on the story. https://deadline.com/2020/11/short-circuit-remake-...

I don't care how big a mega star he is, The Rock is not, nor ever will be Jack Burton.http://www.thewrap.com/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-to-...
The reason that film works so well is because Kurt Russell hams it up, it's meant to be taken tongue in cheek.
Dwayne Johnson will turn it into some action film where Jack Burton is some ex Navy Seal badass down on his luck trucker, who can kill people with his finger nail.
It will be a smash no doubt but it will ruin the legacy of the original and in years to come, youngsters will dismiss the original as s
t as " da rock aint in it fam, it's st bruv"

Disagree with all of this, btw. The reason that film works so well is because Kurt Russell hams it up, it's meant to be taken tongue in cheek.

Dwayne is perfectly capable of hamming it up as shown in Jumanji and as I already mentioned, it's not being remade for fans of the original...

That article is 5 years old.
And quoted from the first post of the thread, started 5 years ago. Things have happened since then, the latest I can find (on the first page of a Google search) is from 18 months ago, and things have changed, partly because of Fox/Disney. They want it to be a sequel now, with Russell returning as an older Jack Burton and Johnson as a new character to carry on the story.

That's from 18 months ago though, things may have changed since then.

This is all talks, maybes and potentially and other words to say it's an idea and nothing agreed or signed yet, but Seth MacFarlane wants to do a remake of The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson. https://movieweb.com/naked-gun-remake-liam-neeson/
They have done stuff together before like Ted 2, A Million Ways To Die In The West, Family Guy, and Neeson can do funny. If it's done in a VERY different way to Leslie Nielsen, it might work, but Liam Neeson seems a weird choice.

Sylvester Stallone and Quentin Tarantino both considered unconventional actors like Ryan Gosling and Adam Driver to play Rambo.
Quentin Tarantino once opened up (via The Big Picture Podcast) about his ideas for a new Rambo movie. He had revealed that his film would be an accurate adaptation of David Morrell's First Blood novel.

Twisters a standalone sequel to the 1996 film Twister.
It looks pretty good. Its got Glen Powell (Hangman from Top Gun: Maverick) in it.
They think he should do a remake of Tom Cruise film Cocktail

"and over four decades since Rocky: First Blood's release" I've not seen that one Quentin Tarantino once opened up (via The Big Picture Podcast) about his ideas for a new Rambo movie. He had revealed that his film would be an accurate adaptation of David Morrell's First Blood novel.

I think Adam Driver would be a good option, he's a former US Marine if nothing else.
