Remember when all the cashins used to be sequels Well what if -- *leans forward at conference room table conspiratorially* What if I told you you could make a sequel without having to deal with the plot issues of discrete chapters within a larger narrative that make sense both individually and as a whole? What if you didn't have to write a new plot at all? *clicks forward in PowerPoint presentation*

I don't know if we really have any old 80s/90s/00s properties that can be rebooted out of nostalgia anymore. The stuff we remade from the 50s-80s seemed to have that bit where they had years of becoming cult and pop culture icons, but with the 80s-onward stuff, the really popular things never felt like they hit that same sweet spot of partially forgotten/partially remembered. The things that DID though have been remade, already. That being said, Gremlins. It's one of the last 80s properties that is popular enough to maybe pull off, and I can see a Gremlins remake nearly throwing out or changing the entirety of the old film series, even the design and gimmicks of the mogwai and gremlins, and just turn it into a sinister sort of Pokemon-type thing. Gizmo now looks sort of more like a cuter, more Pikachu-rodent thing, Gremlins are now various 'types' (ala Gremlins 2 -- but based more on what they ate, what kind of water they got wet with, what part of Gizmo's body got wet, how much water, etc.) The movie gets all sorts of messages about modern collectables-style consumer culture, etc. edit: Gremlins would probably kick rear end in the international box office if remade today since you're sort of free to do a lot of stuff. Gremlin dance number, they'd change the Gremlins probably evaporate into War of the Worlds powder in sunlight rather than melt to be safer for all audiences, you'd be able to cast a bunch of young teen actors and kids, wacky fight scenes and physical comedy, etc. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Jul 15, 2016 |

Gremlins is a project I think could piss people off as much with a reboot (or more so) than Ghostbusters because in this day and age you're going to make everything CG, you're going to be probably going to be changing the tone of the film a lot to try to sell it to more family/international and popular tastes. Like I said, the only real way i could see them redoing it would be to focus on some of the modern collecting/Pokemon pop-culture as a backdrop to the film which might be fine and could be good, but the fans of the original would be pissed off because they'd changed something. But the thing is, I think doing that could work. There is sort of a consumerism subtext to the original films, and a massive change in the film to match the same massive change in consumer/toy habits of the last decade I think could work.

I'm theoretically ok with a Gremlins reboot, because I have never seen Gremlins and so a new Gremlins movie would basically just be a new movie to me

Paul Fieg posted:Poor men. You hear them at the office, in restaurants, in bars, their brains filled with meaningless facts about sports, cars and electronics as they entertain friends with their endless jokes about genitalia and bathroom activities, not to mention their humorous accusations as to the sexual orientation of their conversation partners. They loudly amuse themselves by hurling insults and epithets -- the words "dick," "balls" and "rear end" being the etymological anchors of their attacks -- all for the express purpose of making one another laugh. They seem to be having such a great time that you'd feel like a monster alerting them to this one unfortunate fact: Men just aren't funny. It's interesting to me that the director of the new Ghostbusters is a big fan of  .

We had this same argument when PSYCHO got remade starring Vince Vaughn. And then, in the words of R. Stevens, you realize that Frankenstein was originally a book and you have yourself a nice cry. Nothing is original, everything sucks. Cinema. Cinema never changes.
