Now, I’m all about nostalgia, but when is Hollywood going to see that remakes and reboots aren’t what moviegoers are yearning for!
Literally says everyone on the internet. All this while, the people in the real world are telling them something completely different with their wallets.
Out of the top 10 grossing films this year, 8 of them are remakes, reboots, or sequels. Neither of the “hottest” and “best movies of the year”, Sinners or Weapons, made the cut in the top 10.
2 out of 10 are “original films,” and that’s considering Minecraft to be an original movie, since it’s not a remake, reboot, or sequel, but an adaptation. The only other film to make the cut is Brad Pitt’s F1. People obviously want more of what they know and less of what they don’t.
So to hear that another tentpole film series is going to be a reboot of an established IP doesn’t surprise me. The fact that they have two of the biggest actors of their generation , Michael B Jordan and Austin Butler, in talks to star in the film. Also doesn’t surprise me.
It has been said that the film is “inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking.”
Which means we can expect the film to be set in the 1980s in Miami, with the plot being about drugs and corruption.
It is being said that the film is being filmed with IMAX cameras, which are going to start rolling early next year, with a release day of August 7th, 2027.
Dylan Clark and Kosinski will be producers on the film. Eric Warren Singer and Dan Gilroy penned the script, which was based on characters created by Anthony Yerkovich.
