Yes, I'm aware that it is a very cheesy and over hyped line, but since we're going into over done things, well I guess it is very appropriate.
I am aware that in the past I have whined about reboots/ remakes and the like, specially concerning classics that most of us grew up with and fell in love with.
But i will admit that rebooting/remaking and making it away to introduce to younger audiences some of the franchises that we enjoyed in our chilhood is not always a bad idea.
For example, I just covered (last post) about the Power Rangers movie and comic book that is coming out. I think it's an incredible idea. The up and coming sequel for ID4 (Independence Day, duh) seems like a well thought out screen, story line that I'm actually psyched on about.
But obviously, there are the disappointments and the reason i am cautious about remakes/reboots. The new TMNT, was horrendous, not to mention Transformers franchise (except for the first), it's unbearalbe. And nost importantly of all suaddens me because both franchises deserve better. Better storylines, actors, graphics, etc.
This is why I'm still sticking to what I have stated before, lets tell the studios/production companies that they need to look more deeply to untapped talent. Newer writers, up and coming directors, actors, that will give us diverse and newer stories and LEAVE the classics alone!!!
Chim-chimney, chim-chimney DON'T!
With that being said, there are movies that SHOULD NEVER EVER be remade/re-casted because they are TIMELESS classics, and trying tampering with them is a punishable offense to the GODS!!! (Ok, maybe it isn't as drastic, but you get the point)
One of those timeless classics that should never be touched is Disney's Mary Poppins, but sadly apparently it is actually being looked at to have a future installment of this much beloved classic.
Yes, you read right, Disney is thinking of making a sequel... Oy!
And they are considering Emily Blunt to play Mary Poppins. Don't get me wrong, I think she is a superb actress, but who can ever replace the Practically-Perfect in Everyway, Julie Andrews?!
Hello, it's JULIE ANDREWS!! The woman who sang into our hearts with a 'Spoonful of Sugar.' Ugh, I'm outraged that they would consider replacing her! Not to mention DIck Van Dyke as Bert, seriously Disney?!
Ok, well it looks like I'm not the only one reeling from this news because it has been a division of those who would like to see a next installment of this movie and those (sane) ones who want to leave it alone.
So, where do you guys stand on this? And also overall on reboots/remakes, are you in favor or nay?
Here is the article:

And while we are on the subject of reboots/remakes, GameSpot had a very interesting article that will delight many.
Yes, it's a reboot of an older PC game, but in this case, reboots/remakes don't bother me as much with this genre (or Broadway musicals. surprisingly), but apparently there will be a new Master of Orion, with quality graphics, storylines and to top it off they have an all star voice over cast!
None other than Mark Hamill (yes, Luke Skywalker) himself will be voicing one of the characters. Alan Tudyk and MIchael Dorn are also involved. So, I'm super psyched about this project!
And from the video clip that I saw, the game is taking a new form and they are bringing it up to date.
