Is Hollywood just fucking lazy or what?

Why come up an original idea when you can rehash an old one for some quick cash?

Is Battleship really an adaptation of the board game?

i was just thinking 'there isn't a scrabble movie is there?'

and turns out there is, but it's about people in scrabble competitions.

It's not a movie based on a lame board game at all. It's actually Tron 3. But they killed Tron off, so they called it
"Clue's Revenge". Then they realized it was a Disney movie and having revenge in the title is a no-no. So they abbreviated it to just "Clue".


At least, that is what I am choosing to tell myself to block out the horror.

Connect Four and Candyland are already in the works. Denzel Washington and Liam Neeson have reportedly signed on to them respectively.

Ohhh, I see. He was asking "Do we really need another 'Clue' movie?" not "Do we really need another 'board game made into a movie' movie?"

The first one cannot be surpassed.

And yet, Rendezvous with Rama, one of A.C. Clarke's best novels, still sits without even a script.

(no, the cartoon version doesn't count)

 

[God Mode]

Common sense says people will at least watch or show interest in remakes of known titles. Hollywood just being a business and playing it safe.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Clue is great. This is one reboot that doesn't really bother me as a new cast with a new story would make for a completely different experience.

Is Battleship really an adaptation of the board game?

Yes. Didn't you see the alien spaceship "pegs?"

This comes under the who gives a fuck category.

I'm pretty sure they were out of ideas when they made the turn to making movies based on board games and TV sitcoms.
