But as with these other things, the show wasn't a comedy. It was supposed to be a gritty, realistic drama...The 21 Jump Street movies were surprisingly good.
We do seem to live in an age calcified by nostalgia. Even the whole hipster thing seems to be about 'repurposing' the past rather than creating anything new.
Hopefully it's just a temporary paralysis and we haven't really reached the "end of history".

There are some questions where the answer is that it's due to a complex mix of human psychology, lack of resources and global political powerplays. This isn't one of them.

Except those characters, and the storyline, are pre-existing properties in the Marvel Universe. The whole plot revolves around one of the "Infinity Stones" which are being positioned for the cinematic equivalent of the original "Infinity War" comic book event.Not sure it's reasonable to call Guardians of the Galaxy part of an existing franchise, granted it's Marvel universe but still almost entirely has new characters and storyline.
Dances with Smurfs, maybe?Avatar on the other hand might be considered to be a rehash of Dances with Wolves.
with its focus on the star-spangled do-gooder and the threat being from political intrigue and personal conflict rather than from world-ending events

That's the way to do it, Mr Ponch!Erik Estrada has called out the CHiPs trailer as "pure trash" on Twitter! You tell 'em, genuine Ponch!
That's the way to do it, Mr Ponch!

Mia Goth: “Well what I can say about that is I think people are going to be really pleasantly surprised to realize that it’s really not a remake at all. I think people are going to be really shocked. It’s a nod of the hat to Dario Argento and his version of ‘Suspiria’, but we really do take it to a completely different place”.
‘Friday the 13th’ Cursed; Production Has Been Shut Down
Just about an hour ago we told you that Paramount had pulled this year’s planned Friday the 13th reboot from their release schedule, meaning Jason Voorhees will no longer be returning to the big screen on October 13th. At the time we wrote that, we weren’t sure if filming was still scheduled to begin in mid-March, as planned, but now we’ve learned a bit more about this mess.
From what we’re hearing, production on the new Friday the 13th has been indefinitely shut down, suggesting that there is indeed a death curse attached to our old pal Jason.
When your remake isn't a remake...

But...but..but...the thing that was scary about Suspiria is that it was so impenetrably erm...impenetrable. Like, artistically so. Take that away and all you'll probably have is a lame story about witches.
I didn't see that movie until I was in my 30's and afterward was too scared to go outside in the dark. I thought for sure witches were going to get me. That was a first, I must say.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a Friday 13th TV series at some stage, maybe fleshing out an origin story. They could call it 'Vorhees!'.
