The first Shaft remake is surprisingly good. And you can pretend Patrick Bateman is the villain too.

I cant imagine Disney would do the Encrypted HardDrive Drop via AirForce One, simply on the basis of his orange rear end tweeting out some poo poo he doesnt like "Lame SJWLadyJedi kills Luke! Jedi were very very bad to nice guy Ren! I would have crushed the rebellion, too many illegal aliens! Need the Coruscant Wall ASAP!"

Detective No. 27 posted:The first Shaft remake is surprisingly good. And you can pretend Patrick Bateman is the villain too. It's straight up the second best Shaft movie, no contest. If you're keeping score, that means it's actually better than the original Shaft, but just shy of the greatness that is Shaft's Big Score. No, Shaft never went to Africa. Also, of all the filmmakers who you think would end up doing a new Shaft, you could not possibly have a less interesting choice than Tim Story.

This past weekend was the lowest box office weekend of the summer, I'm sure another round of studios mad at Rotten Tomatoes will be happening soon. Next week is The Nut Job 2 and Annabelle 2 (and The Glass Castle), all of those are probably cheap enough to absorb low box office numbers but the last Annabelle made $37 million opening weekend, almost double what The Dark Tower made this weekend ($19 million)

Supposedly The Dark Tower had a fairly low (for Hollywood) budget. So I could see it eventually being seen as still worth continuing.

IIRC this was not long before Brian Herbert and New Jedi Author/etc. author Kevin J. Anderson collaborated on making those Dune prequels+sequels based on Frank Herbert's notes/unfinished stuff. Between them working together and Star Wars/tons of sci-fi taking stuff from Dune in general that wouldn't surprise me.

You're right I mixed up the New Jedi Order with his Jedi Academy trilogy where Luke starts a "new Jedi order." Those were crap but still fun enough pulp like you say. I liked that they referred to/used a lot of stuff from the Tales of the Jedi comics.

They kept going back and forth on this for years so who knows at this point, especially with it failing. I expect no news for at least two years unless It somehow does amazing or something happens again with The Stand

They already announced a showrunner for The Dark Tower, didn't they? I heard it's going to be based on Wizard and Glass or something. Shadowhunters found surprising success as a TV series after the failure of City of Bones (tehehe). It's already 2 seasons with more episodes coming,

Kidnap turned out to be a nice little thriller. A lightning strike knocked out power at home so I gave it a watch. I had low expectations because the trailer seemed to focus on Halle delivering lines without a convincing level of passion or intensity. They're in there but balanced out by the rest of it. It's not as good as Breakdown, because Kurt Russell is amazing and that had upper tier vehicular violence. But this had proper tension and it kept coincidences and contrivances just a shade below my limit. Plus, it had one seriously chilling moment giving insight to the kidnap event itself. Watch it when it gets to video.
