The next major film franchise to get a reboot? Die Hard
I remember a time when Disney, along with other major film studios, were institutions of art and not recycling centers.

I am not a fan but if the reboot is done well, I can tolerate it.

There is a P7 for sale at my LGS, and I've been struggling against going in and taking it home.

Until these reboots stop making a $1 Billion, they will keep getting made.

I understand that most remakes/reboots happen for the benjamins. But I don't get why a director more interested in making art would want to remake a classic movie. Like Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley. It doesn't improve on the original in any way, or stand alone as a great movie in its own right. Same with Cape Fear and a host of others.
It makes a lot more sense to remake movies with great premises that weren't executed well. |

I think Hamm could pull it off.

Might be fun as a TV series if it was well done.

Yep, start of a beautiful friendship. One of the most memorable lines in movies. Where did that friendship go?
Citizens rising up to resist the Nazis. That's a wide open story.

I can see it now. The opening sequence of the first episode is a crane shot of Rick saying goodbye to Ilsa. They are just figures in the distance and you can't hear the conversation. Very, very slow zoom in with a subdued orchestral version of As Time Goes By and no dialogue at all as that scene plays out. By the time the view has zoomed in enough for the actors to fill the screen, Rick is walking into that shack to talk to Captain Renault and that conversation is the first dialogue you hear - exactly as it was in the movie. That scene plays out but it's a wider shot from behind the Nazi officer's car (very different from the movie) so that you can see every detail of the action, since the gun shot isn't going to surprise anyone. The scene plays through to the completion of the movie except that Rick and Renault don't walk by the camera so you don't end up seeing them from behind going into the next adventure, the camera stays in front of them (even when they look up at the airplane taking off) and they continue walking into the camera as Rick says the famous line before a fade to black.

As far as what happened to Rick and Louie after the events depicted in the film, there was a never-shot script penned called "Brazzaville," the location of the Free French garrison that Louie suggests he and Sam go to in the closing scene. You can read about it here if you give a crap. https://www.blackgate.com/2020/04/27/428025/ |
