Claim: Disney Eyeing Guardian of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt for Indiana Jones in New Raiders Reboot
As Indy, my once and maybe future all-time favorite Action Hero...? Eh, Indy's smart. Not a genius, but up there. I know Chris Pratt has mostly played dumb-guy roles, and I shouldn't typecast him, but... Okay I'll say, I don't think he can come across as smart enough to play Indy. Meanwhile, they're casting him opposite Denzel Washington in a... Magnificent Seven remake. I assume Denzel will play the Yul Brenner role, because bald. Meanwhile x2, yeah, they're serious about doing the all-girl Ghostbusters remake. Here's your cast:#Ghostbusters3 names cast, very #SNL: #MelissaMcCarthy #KristenWiig #LeslieJones #KateMcKinnon pic.twitter.com/orw5OvPctb

I'm willing to at least let Pratt have a fair hearing.
That said- *WHY* reboot Raiders? Why not write a new Indiana Jones story? They're pulp fiction (in the original sense). They're penny dreadfuls. None of them have to link to any others, except for the occasional line like
"What is that?"
"The Ark of the Covenant."
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure."
Just assert "Indiana Jones and the [noun] of [adjective]" and be done with it.
As for GB: Gurlz edition: pass.

Watch Raiders with that in mind and you'll realize that Harrison Ford is just too dour and joyless for the part.
So, Chris Pratt would actually have been better...if Raiders weren't such a classic and we had a time machine.
Why would you remake movies like Raiders or Ghostbusters that, while being fairly big budget, managed to resonate with people far more than anyone expected?
What makes a good idea a great movie are accidents that happened. Some good editing, great takes, ad libbing, lucky casting, zeitgeist of the culture, etc.

Besides, I can't see Tom Selleck coming up with shooting the dude with the sword. A classic scene which live forever- because Harrison Ford had a cold.

The characters from the first one were coherent; ne'er-do-well university deadwood suddenly thrown out into the 'real' world.
Female versions don't really make much sense as photo-negatiaves of the original ones.
Melissa McCarthy isn't really that funny or interesting, and casting her i presume as Peter Venkman will not work at all.
I loved the original one - seen it dozens of times, but there's not a chance in hell I'm paying to see the forthcoming disaster.

It's like the firefighter who might lose his job because he wore t-shirts that promoted the idea of merit/ability admission to being a fireman. (you know some day one of the new guy/gal(s) might have to save your life)

The Magnificent Seven 1960.
Though, now that I think about it, you might be referring to the Fantastic 4. And I just can't help you, there. That's going to suck harder than a Kirby.

You can't remake the Magnificent Seven because that's a remake of Seven Samurai. No. 2 Son and I tried to watch Magnificent Seven as a compare and contrast exercise because we're film geeks and we couldn't get 15 minutes into Mag Sev.
There is a really interesting conversation to be had around "A Fistful of Dollars" being a shot by shot remake of of "Yojimbo", but there's nothing interesting to say about "Magnificent Seven".

No. You're wrong. This is not a matter of opinion.
First, Spielberg wanted Selleck and went to great lengths to get him. Second, in the early part of Raiders, there's a winking childishness that Ford does not get right. Trust me, watch it again with an open mind.

Not really. The reason you'll see FF and Spider-Man and X-Men rebooted periodically is because the properties are leased. And back then (when the leases were written) Marvel wasn't looking to get into movie making.
So when they wrote the leases, they based them on how long from the previous movie it had been before the lease lapsed. So, to keep the leases, the studios have to make new movies using those properties every so often. If they don't, then they have to give them back to Marvel.
I'll point out that the first Spider-Man movie, and the 2nd (with Doc Oc) were very successful and very well liked. The third one wasn't as good, but that was because they tried to force too many story-lines into the movie.
Yet Spider-Man has already been rebooted. Because Sony doesn't want to give it back to Marvel.

That is an awesome one as well. Another I really liked was one where Higgen's unit mates from Africa were being killed one by one and they discovered it was one of his own squad mates. The unit had been involved in a massacre of a native village (Higgens was sick or something, so not there) and the British army swept everything under the rug.
Higgens had a great line about how they men should have faced courtmarshal to account and be punished for what they had done, because as it was "They just had to live with it."

No. Goggins could be great. A recurring bit would be people thinking he is stupid because of the way he talks and then he outsmarts them and gets away with the girl and the loot. Plus the scenes where he is a college professor would be entertaining. Make him something like Professor Kingsfield in "Paper Chase".

The FF plots were usually too long and intricate to make into movies. There's too much setup to do a movie. OTOH, a TV series could take a fair amount of time setting things up if it needed to.

I can't think of a lot of other re-boots or re-makes that have interested me the way Star Trek one did.
Posted by: Y-not at January 27, 2015 05:47 PM (9BRsg)
I liked the Trek reboots too (though I could have done without the now cliche Evil Admiral false flag deal from Into Darkness; at best, that could have been fleshed out more; at worst, just drop it and give us an actual credible non-Federation villain).
Some Trek fans just love to hate the new films.....but then again, some Trek fans are liberal SJW scum that can't watch a flick without some hamhanded Progressive narrative plastered all throughout.
Gene Roddenberry Trek is Season 1 of TNG: all the characters are perfect humans in the socialist utopia. Which, it turns out, doesn't make for good stories.
Some Trek fans see anything other than that as some "betrayal" of Roddenberry's "vision." *jackoff motion*

Hey, Hollywood. You say you like girl power? Give us characters like those, where it works and isn't obviously crowbarred in for the sake of Diversity and Shit.

You know why? Because it's not a reboot. It's a quasi-prequel. And the second movie completely fucked up the greatest reason why Star Trek kicked so much ass. Kirk vs Khan. No scifi nerd can truly forgive the attempt at re-writing the Wrath of Khan story into some bullshit lefty tripe against terrorism.

He was going to take Star Trek as real, gut level - not some fantasy utopia, but a real functioning universe. Just take the original characters and start their 5 year mission. Emphasizing the unknown, the large blank spots in knowledge, and being out of contact with "home". It was intended to have a central mystery to slowly solve, some recurring themes, but the main one being - these guys are all out there, in the dark, alone.
Instead we got "Enterprise - Acres and Acres of Vats".

I used to think I was a Doctor Who fan. I'm not. I'm a David Tennant fan. That guy is freaking awesome. I'll watch him in anything, especially Doctor Who.

One problem with a MHI film would be that Correia specifically wrote it so that it was almost impossible to properly cast Owen Pitt. Although, if you're willing to gloss over Owen's racial background, Chris Pratt would make a pretty good Z. Big guy, get him pumped up like he was in Zero Dark Thirty, and he plays goofy REALLY well.

Yes, I agree. Nothing new for Trek to shoehorn in the evil Admiral as a vehicle to bash Western civilization, but reading all the way between the lines with the 9/11 parallel, Darkness failed at whatever point it was trying to make.
The thing I don't get are people who don't like it because there wasn't ENOUGH of that nonsense.

I started watching last night about 20 minutes in. One of the first lines was "We're going to need more guns." (or something like that). If only people could understand the meaning of that line in context with the 2nd A and a government that wants to limit guns.
Needless to say it went down hill from there.

Why doesn't the GOP Congress limit the copyright term to 35 years from the death of the author? There's a serious constitutional argument that the Congress must set "limits" to the duration of a copyright. So it's the right thing to do, only, it would cripple many many many corporations.
But I see a benefit, in that it would cripple many many many corporations. Such as Disney. And their subsidiary, ABC.
And it would spare our grandchildren endless remakes of Ewok movies.

Couldn't they have just made them BOTH black, or would that have defeated the purpose, i.e. talking down to confused and annoyed comic book fans?
I'm torn between the thought that diversity-baiting and publicity whoring are bad things, and the thought that anything which degrades the rancid, fetid, stinking, ancient canon of Marvel/DC comic books in general, and over-revered crap like THE FANTASTIC FOUR! in particular, is a good thing.

Posted by: Ricardo Kill at January 27, 2015 05:38 PM (LA7Cm)
The remake of The Thomas Crown Affair with the less dynamic Brosnan is actually more compelling than the original, ironically with McQueen.
It's more interesting reviewing movie stills of the original capturing the style of its two leads than rewatching as a film.
Nevertheless, the remake itself was almost twenty years ago. At least barren Hollywood's current spent-hacks know better than fucking around with Bullitt.

Thing is earthen, obviously, and Storm is fire. Then they could make the "Invisible Girl" power more like an air-transformation ability -- she sort of disappears in a pffft of vapor.
And make the stretchy boring dude more like he's made of flowing water, rather than just Rubber Man. Which is yawns-ville.
It'd be cooler than, well, the Fantastic Four.
Which is not cool.
