    Default Old Remakes coming!

    Stephen King's Movie is getting a remake>
    Stephen King's Christine
    is getting rebooted. Originally a novel penned by King that was later adapted into a movie by John Carpenter, Christine is a simple horror story about a cursed car with a mind of its own. Nearly four decades after the first movie was released, a new movie adaptation has just entered the early stages of development at Sony Pictures and Blumhouse.

    Christine - NO just no. It was shit first time round anyway.
    I can see it’s going to be a naive girl who gets a Tesla for her birthday, but it decides it wants to kill her when she plays the wrong Spotify playlist.

    Fall guy - I’m not sure how I feel about this as I still have the full box set on plex and have watched many of them again.
    A movie might be a good choice rather than a tv series remake, but I’m not sure where they are going to go with this?

    Really hate the lack of imagination these days. Remakes are a cop out ot make money and often more pony than shetland.

    Well i do also like Hawaii 5-0 and also MacGyver.

    Other remakes trying to cash in, not so much. Like Magnum, that's pony. Equaliser, every episode has a "lesson" and might well be a bit in favour of racial stereotyping.
