Mr. & Mrs. Smith Also Being Rebooted?

[Iceman]

People in Hollywood need to have themselves tested for ******ation..

No test required

 

[Asgard]

What a waste of money.

 

[bullets]

What? this reminds me of when they make tv shows based off movies it doesn't work out often.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

why not do a sequel... the movie kind of left off with that in mind

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Probably directed by Brett Ratner.

Slashfilm says it's going to be called "Mr. and Mrs. Jones:"

I bet it will have famous black actors this time. Denzel and Beyonce. lol

Hollywood really needs to stop rebooting movies that are not even a decade old. I mean seriously.

 

[Heretic]

I can't wait for the Captain America reboot. I think they are filming it the month after filming wraps for the original.

 

[Bruce Malone]

They'll probably be rebooting spiderman next at this rate...

 

[Timstuff]

It's not even a franchise, so it's not a reboot. How can they remake a movie that's only 5 years old? WHY would they? What was wrong with the first movie that it permanantly damaged its own reputation beyond repair, and if so, why is it worth saving? Holluwood needs to reboot its business strategy.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Wasn't the 2005 movie based on a older movie too? So wouldn't this be a remake of a remake?

 

[Ipodman]

I like the "Also" in the thread title...

but hey... Ghsot busters is not getting a reboot...

 

[SatEL]

The first movie was a success made a good bit of money, I am going to have to call ******** to this. I am sure this is simply a misunderstanding on you guys part.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Hearing it called Mr. and Mrs Jones, I automatically think of Doctor Who, and Mickey and Martha.

 

[matrix_ghost]

They can't be serious

This doesn't me surprise me to be honest. And not because of the reboot/remake craze that is going on.
Movies like Mr and Mrs Smith definately look like they were planned as franchises but because you've got high profile actors attached to them , they just stick for one movie and then move on.

By having less famous/expensive but ( hopefully) equally talented actors on board , the studios are looking to make this a franchise.

 

[marvelman2006]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Be careful what you say!

oh crap do you think they heard us?

from universal memo: "Taylor Lautner cast of marty"

 

[:eek:]

Next: True Lies reboot

 

[Bad Superman]

They didn't need to reboot. They could've hired two "less expensive" actors that share a great chemistry and pick up where the first one ended.

 

[Addendum]

Doesn't read like a reboot. Reads more like a remake.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The characters isn't what people liked last time. The only draw of the first film was Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Hollywood's hot new item and ''it" couple beating the **** out of one another.

With them gone, there's really no reason to continue.

 

[Rac]

Eh...

 

[Turtles]

Reboot? An early April Fools joke perhaps?

This is getting ridiculous. Has Hollywood ran out of ideas???

I mean at this point in human history can we really be surprised at anything getting "rebooted". Im not surprise because its clear hollywood is out of ideas when it comes to big films. I wouldnt be surprised if I turn my computer on tommorow morning and I see:
"universal heads back to the future for a reboot".

People in Hollywood need to have themselves tested for ******ation..

I think the movie industry is officially out of creative ideas to be rebooting films not even a decade old.

You guys do realize that you're bashing Hollywood for having the exact same money making strategy as many other successful businesses, right?

For example:

Apple: Ipod Classic, Ipod Touch, Ipod Nano, Ipod Shuffle.

Pepsi: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi, Cherry Pepsi, Vanilla Pepsi, Pepsi with Lime.

Hollywood isn't out of creative ideas, it and every other business just knows where the money is.

 

[byte19]

you forgot Pepsi Clear...

 

[Addendum]

Everybody's still trying to forget that ****

theres a bit of a difference between soda, ipods and movies. you expect that stuff from soda and apple in general hell even doritos. when your in the movie business your only way of making money is to come up with new ideas all the time that peak the interest of the movie going audience to come see your movie. how is it good business to remake a movie tons of times? Eventually it will tick off the audience and they will realize you are wasting there time and insulting there intelligence.

case in point there relaunching spiderman now, the general opinion ive gathered is all the hype, money and time spent on the last 3 movies was for nothing because guess what were doing it all over again. we already know what happens to peter for him to become spiderman so why do we need to see it again? In this topic alone the 2005 mr and mrs smith wasnt even a huge case cow so why bother.

Let me ask you a question turtles will you go see the karate kid this year?

bottom line sure soda, apple, doritos and ice cream can have different versions of there products but the movies dont have that luxury. There consumer demands new stories and and ideas all the time. you cant keep going to the same well over and over again in this industry.

Am I going to see the Karate Kid? No, but I bet a lot of people are.

I bet a lot of people will see the new Spider Man reboot, too. Why? Because people like Spider Man. They'll see the Spider Man reboot the same way people saw The Hulk reboot. Yeah, remember The Hulk? The movie that was rebooted a mere FIVE YEARS later? If I'm not mistaken, some people actually like the reboot (The Incredible Hulk) better than the original Ang Lee version, which proves that maybe reboots aren't always a bad thing.

For that matter, how many reboots do we actually get each year? Of those reboots, how many were based off a movie released in the last ten to fifteen years? How many were considered good enough NOT to need a reboot? I know people on this site like to go on and on about how many reboots Hollywood has been cranking out, but if you stop to think about it, there actually hasn't been a ton of reboots. Sequels? Yes. Prequels? Yes. Book adaptations? Yes. But reboots? Not so much. Most of the reboot talk actually comes from unhappy fans, and Hollywood picks up on that, so we're the ones who are partially to blame for "reboot mania" in Hollywood. Really, if you were given the chance to reboot Fantastic Four (1 or 2), Daredevil, X-Men (1, 2, or 3), Wolverine, or Super Man Returns, would you tell the studios NOT to do it just because it's too soon after the original came out?

I don't think reboots are the horrible things people are making them out to be, because reboots, though they have the same characters and the same basic story lines, are always different from the version that came before them. When are the reboots the exact same thing as the original? Do you think the rebooted Spider Man is going to have the exact same story as Sam Raimi's Spider Man movies?

Do reboots get boring after a while? Depends on how they're done. A good reboot can be better than the original (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, anyone?). Are original stories better? That depends on how they're done, too. Original stories can suck just as bad as any reboot, if not more.
