Kevin Hart to remake Scrooged

Kevin Hart Tackling 'Scrooged' Remake for Paramount (Exclusive)

The comedy that itself was a modern day remake of a Christmas Carol. So.... that's a thing.

Kevin Hart is the definition of hack at this point. He's famous enough that he could attach his name to anything and get it made, and instead of coming up with something good and original he chooses one crappy concept after another.

Kevin Hart is a one trick pony. He acts the same in every movie. He’s the weak link in Jumanji 2 because everyone else is playing the kids trapped in the character bodies while he’s just doing his same shtick as always.

They pay him to do this.

How do you even do this? Scrooged was such a product of its time, everything is so different now. Without being a shot for shot remake or a remake in mostly name only (you’ve still got the Chrismas Carol story to work with), it just doesn’t make sense to me. Not the least of which, Kevin Hart is nothing compared to Bill Murray at his the height of his career, but then Bill Murray isn’t even as good as he was back then.
