Hollywood is Out of Ideas: 2018 Edition

Every year Hollywood seems to churn out more formulaic crap we didn’t ask for, but this year the remakes and reboots seem worse than normal.

Things we actually asked for:

  • The Incredibles 2
  • The Avengers: Infinity Wars
  • The Untitled Deadpool Sequel (and yes, I do hope it really is called “The Untitled Deadpool Sequel“)
  • Things we never asked for:

  • A remake of Death Wish starring Bruce Willis
  • A remake of Heavenly Creatures set in Connecticut. Why would you do they? They got it right the first time.
  • A reboot of Tomb Raider
  • A sequel to Gnomeo and Juliet, a film nobody asked for the first time around.
  • A movie based on the 1980’s giant monster video game Rampage (Did Dwayne Johnson learn nothing from Doom?)
  • Ocean’s Eight (because Lady Ghostbusters was such an astounding financial success)
  • A Purge prequel. As a bonus, it also looks stupidly political…
  • Another HotelTransylvania sequel.
  • A Mama Mia sequel. Because evidently there are more ABBA songs…
  • Another Mission Impossible sequel.
  • A direct Predator sequel.
  • A live-action Mulan remake. I guess Disney will just keep doing this until they stop making money. Or until we get a live-action Chicken Little
  • A stand-alone Aquaman movie. Because Fish Boy is the DC Universe character everyone really wants to see…
  • And an animated remake of the live-action remake of the animated The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Stop. Just. Stop.
