What's next for a "reboot"?

Fleawuss · 20-06-2016 09:19PM #1

I am fed up with the rebooting craze. Batman. Star Trek. Batman. Bond. Star Trek. And it's an annoying name: that used to be called turning it off and on again. But it's the way to go today so what do you think would benefit from a reboot? And suggest how the new would be betterer than the original. Personally I want a reboot of Mr Ed the talking horse. Cgi would do wonders and Mr Ed could do the commentary on Brexit.

Wouldn't mind a reboot of Back To The Future, but set in the future future, not the past future.

Some reboots can be good and others bad. Its a mixed bag. I wouldn't say all reboots are bad. There have been appalling reboots made and for this reason it's not surprising reboots have such a bad reputation.

The Ireland Belgium game,with a more dramatic middle and a better ending.

Isn't a sequel to The Goonies, with (some of) the original cast, planned?

I was reading about it here a couple of years ago:

It doesn't seem as likely now as it did then, unfortunately.:(

Star Trek has to be the worst reboot, such retarded movies.

Far from the worst.

I give you: Total Recall with Colin Farrell or Tim Burtons Planet of the Apes.

Game of Thrones.

I think the western The Magnificent Seven is being remade this year?

Any 1970s/1980s TV action series is fair game now it seems. Some were remade already (Miami Vice, The A Team, The Sweeney, Minder, The Equalizer) with mixed results but that does not stop them being remade again. Others that are possible:

The Fall Guy
Macgyver
TJ Hooker
Hill St Blues
Magnum PI

A cinema rebooted version of Dallas could be something that could happen as well. Of course, any super heroes can be rebooted over and over.

Some reboots proved to be a success (Batman, Bond) and others not so much.

the producers have been looking around Donegal lately, as a possible location for filming.

There is a re-hash of "CHIPS" being done at the minute.... if anyone is old enough to remember.
