The Rocketeer reboot

I'd be really surprised if a Rocketeer reboot happens, just because I can't see any momentum building for it.

 

and is there really a demand for one? I mean the first one is great, but didn't it bomb? I don't think the general public is really foaming at the mouth for a remake.

 

I came.

 

Yeah, and although there were a bunch of movies just this year that there didn't seem to be much, if any, demand for, like Battleship, Total Recall, and another Spider-Man origin story in The Amazing Spider-Man, I have a hard time believing that Disney would push ahead with a new Rocketeer movie without feeling the want or need.

I don't have any personal feelings about the idea, though. I liked The Rocketeer, but I don't have any attachment to it.

 

Hiring writers to write a script for a potential franchise is a small investment that could pay off.
Alan Horn likes his franchises.
Could be a few directors out there who were fans of The Rocketeer and would want to be involved.

 

Rocketeer is just another movie, like The Crow and Point Break, that should just be left alone.

 

Disagree, the original, while charming, has a lot of missed potential.

 

I love it. That's why I want it left alone. If there is a remake and it's good, I'll probably like it too.

 

I believe a few weeks later "Terminator 2" blew it away. It COULD have been a success but it was badly placed.

I just loved James Horners uplifting opening theme. The effects aren't that bad either.

 

^ and Jennifer Connelly looking incredibly beautiful

 

Lily Collins for the Jenny Blake.

 

She also looked very voluptuous. I wish she still looked the way she did back then.

 

I'd go see it. Maybe they can fix the problems the original had.

 

I hate the original but love the concept and potential. Bring it on. And hire someone who can act as the title character this time.

 

I like the original and the effects are still pretty good but I agree about the title character. I found him to be very uncharismatic

 

And keep Johnston away, even as a producer.

 

Last year I watched this movie for the first time since I saw it in theaters as a kid. I had a REALLY good time watching it. I'd say it's still better than a whole lot of the comic book movies that have come out since the boom that started with Blade/X-Men.

I'd probably go see the reboot.

 

You can definitely do a better film. I liked the first movie, but there is more potential for this character. Especially with today's technology.

 

I hope they don't overdo cgi, though. I feel like more practical effects would add to the charm of the movie.

 

But will it be period?

 

I don't see how it would work any other way.

 

I loved this movie as a kid, I need to see it again.

I'd be down for a reboot.

 

Meh, speaking as a fan of the original, I don't see the problem in a Rocketeer reboot. If Hollywood's recent track record for remakes is anything to go by, odds are this will only end up validating the original even more.

 

Nazis inventing jetpacks to invade the US again? Not a very realistic idea at all.
