Reboot: if you could, would you?

Hi Stage 32'ers, just curious - if you had all the resource needed handed to you, and you could reboot a tv series, or film - would you?

Is there anything that you think the current distribution offerings are lacking?

Please comment what show and why!

P.S.

It's no secret.

I am not a fan of the reboots!

Chris Chapman

TV - 'Firefly' with original cast. 'Firefly was just a well written, acted series cut short way too soon. Movie - 'Predator' franchise. The 'Predator' franchise has such great potential that has yet to be explored.

Jonathan Kramer

Taxi !!

Cherelynn Baker

OMG Chris Chapman Jonathan Kramer ...yes! I would PAY to see more of Taxi - and, as a long standing Team Xenomorph fan, yes please to more Predator even though the Yautja is an enemy. But (there's always a but...) in more Predator, I want to see it in vibrant color, not the (IMHO) dark, night only product that was the last 2 films. Ok team ...get to work!

Jonathan Kramer

Cherelynn..the only question is WHO could take Andy Kaufman's role? Jim Carrey did a good job with Man on the Moon and the Great Beyond..Chris Loyd and DeVito are still going too..One of the best sitcoms EVER!

Doug Nelson

I'm also not a reboot fan. To me there is only one Agent 007, one Columbo, one Dirty Harry... I much prefer that contemporary acting talent create unique & compelling new characters.

Chris Chapman

Cherelynn,...I would take the Predator/ Alien franchise to new levels. At this point in the franchise history, the 2 could playout quite well together as well as on their own. I am not a fan of dark/ poorly lit filming unless it is necessary for effect. Predators and Xenomorphs should be seen in well lit glory. I thought 'Predators' with Adrien Brody was decent and mis-understood. I was a fan of the Dark Horse Comics stories so I am bit of a geek when it comes to Predator/Xenomorph lore. I actually have a concept for a Predator t.v. series with 15 Predator specific episodes already. Add Xenomorphs and the ideas are endless. Neill Blomkamp was going to direct Alien 5 but it was shelved due to creative differences from what I understand. Sad as I think he would have added a strong entry to the franchise.

Debbie Elicksen

The 60s British series The Avengers with characters John Steed and Emma Peel. I would also like to see new episodes of La Femme Nikita.

John Ellis

The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Period. Mic drop. :)

John Michael German

If we are talking any time of life: What's my line and/or The Match Game (the original).

If more recently: 30 Rock.

I do thank you for you and the great life you bring forth.

God Bless,

John German

"Jericho"

Alicia Sekhri

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I miss this show.

Cherelynn Baker

Wow - there are many shows on here, I have not seen! I heard of "Jericho" and think I wanted to watch but never did? I never really got into the Buffy the Vampire Slayer - though, I know some rabid fans that LOVED the show. Thanks everyone for sharing your reboot ideas! And yes, all Firefly, all the time!

Bop Shipman

Honestly, the animated show Duckman,... very well written... at least the first season

Maurice Vaughan

Cherelynn Baker, "Jericho" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_(2006_TV_series)

Erik A. Jacobson

"Jericho" was a must-see experience that kept all eyes glued to the screen. Excellent writing and casting. Not sure why it was dropped. When it was I was devastated.

Cherelynn Baker

Ok! Uncle! Uncle! I'll start Jericho today! You win Stage 32ers! Full report next week! Thank you for the suggestion Erik and Maurice!

Maurice Vaughan

It was an exciting series, Erik. You're welcome, Cherelynn.

Karen "Kay" Ross

I may or may not have secured the rights to a book that was previous made into a film but no one has heard of. So, would a "re-do" be acceptable? LOL

Debbie Elicksen

Karen Ross, that is a great question. Also, did the 1990 Nikita TV series have to get permission from the 1997-2001 La Femme Nikita TV series and did either have to get permission from the 1990 movie La Femme Nikita? The 1990 series is a bit different, and the first series is closer to the movie.

Samantha Dickinson

"Sense 8" was a show that very progressive for its time. Canceled after only two seasons. Viewers were fortunate that the creators came out with a movie to bring the series to a close, but I would have liked to see how they would of ended it originally.

Martin Reese

Dark Matter.

Joe Becker

Chuck

Christiane Lange

The Closer, I really liked that set-up.

Joe Becker

CHUCK was one of the funniest spy spoof TV shows ever made. It's got action, drama, and comedy, a great cast, great writing... and I just found out it's available on YouTube for $199 per episode, and it's available on Amazon Prime.

Samantha Lee

Supernatural

Doug Nelson

All in the Family & The Jeffersons.

Bop Shipman

especially with the edge they had back then... all in the family and the Jefferson's would be a great reboot

Nina Brooks

Breaking Bad

Hannah Miyamoto

The Simpsons <jk><jk>

Cherelynn Baker

Hey everyone! Wow, so - so- so many great shows on here! Thank you for sharing which shows you enjoyed the most and would love to see more of. I have recently started Jericho on Paramount + and the first few episodes are really well written and I'm enjoying it!
