Classic

It’s fair to say that reboots, remakes, and reimaginings continue to be the go-to methods of creating new content for any major studio, network, or streaming service, but there’s barely an IP out there that can touch 16th Century novel Journey to the West when it comes to sheer volume, with Netflix the latest to get in on the act with animated feature The Monkey King. For those keeping count – which can’t be many considering the quantity – there have been no less than 23 movies and 18 TV shows at least partially inspired…

As easy as it is to be critical about Disney overseeing not just one, but two competing reboots of the exact same franchise, there is one reason above all to be confident about the Alien projects being spearheaded by Noah Hawley and Fede Alvarez. Longtime fans were shocked, appalled, and genuinely fearful when it was first revealed the Mouse House was planning to dust off Predator again, only for Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey to wind up as the franchise’s best-reviewed installment ever, and it’s now officially a six-time…

The law of diminishing returns is very real when it comes to franchise fare, meaning that lightning doesn’t often strike twice for any high-profile IP. However, bringing Martin Campbell back into the James Bond fold to direct Casino Royale proved to be a masterstroke in every imaginable fashion. Of course, the filmmaker had previous for rebooting cinema’s most famous secret agent in spectacular style, with GoldenEye introducing Pierce Brosnan’s spin on the legendary MI6 operative to the masses following the title hero’s…
