26 Movie Reboots Coming to a TV Near You

I know some have been talked about on the board already.

Big
Break out the giant piano: The classic 1988 Tom Hanks comedy about a boy who wakes up a middle-aged man is getting a TV redo, courtesy of Fox. Enlisted producers Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce will shepherd this new version, which will be loosely based on the film. But can anyone match the magic Hanks brought to the role? Hey, how about his son Colin Hanks? He's only a few years older than Tom was when he took the role.
quote:
Rush Hour
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker played mismatched cops (one from Hong Kong, one from L.A.) in the megahit film franchise, which is now headed for the small screen from Warner Bros. TV and Cougar Town co-creator Bill Lawrence. How about we mix up the genders, Ghostbusters-style, and go with Sandra Oh and Niecy Nash as the cops?
quote:
Ghost
Oh my love, my darling… yes, Paramount is remaking the weepy 1990 romance starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore into a drama pilot co-written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. So who should be manning that pottery wheel? We kind of like the thought of Friday Night Lights lovebirds Taylor Kitsch and Minka Kelly reuniting… but as long as original co-star/Scandal prez Tony Goldwyn makes a cameo, we'll be happy.
quote:
Minority Report
Fox is plotting a TV sequel to Steven Spielberg's 2002 sci-fi hit, where Tom Cruise played a cop who uses psychic "precogs" to stop crimes before they happen. The TV show will follow one of the precogs as he struggles to adjust to normal life after the Precrime unit is disbanded. He's helped along by a female detective who has a new use for his psychic gifts
quote:
School of Rock
It's hard to imagine any actor matching the jolt of raw energy Jack Black brought to the role of failed musician-turned-prep school teacher Dewey Finn in the 2003 comedy. But Tony Cavalero's going to try: The Modern Family vet will take over for Black in the Nickelodeon version, debuting next year.
quote:
Friday the 13th
It's about to get very unlucky for a new group of camp counselors at Crystal Lake. Axe murderer Jason Voorhees will be hacking up fresh meat in a new TV series executive produced by Sean S. Cunningham, who directed the original 1980 film. Remember, this is TV's second stab at Friday the 13th: A syndicated version ran from 1987 to 1990.
quote:
Monster-In-Law
Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda squared off in the 2005 big-screen comedy about a young woman who clashes with her fiancé's overbearing mom. Now Warner Bros. is bringing it to TV, with Amy B. Harris (The Carrie Diaries) and John Riggi (30 Rock) producing. So who should play the feuding duo? We like Judith Light — so good in Amazon's Transparent — as the mom-in-law, with the always bubbly JoAnna Garcia as the bride-to-be.
quote:
Uncle Buck
John Candy played an irresponsible bachelor forced to look after his brother's kids in the 1988 original; now ABC is remaking it as a multi-cam comedy. And yes, CBS already tried an Uncle Buck series in 1990, which only lasted 18 episodes. But this one is executive produced by Will Packer (Think Like a Man, Ride Along), so casting an African-American could be a way to keep things fresh. How about Craig Robinson, who we loved on The Office?
quote:
The Evil Dead
Good news for fans of Sam Raimi's cult horror-comedy trilogy: Raimi himself is developing a new Evil Dead TV series. And even better news: Star Bruce Campbell will reprise his role as demon slayer Ash. It doesn't have a network lined up yet, but once it does? Groovy.

Real Genius
This one cuts deep: The 1985 college comedy starring Val Kilmer as a mischievous physics student is a shining beacon of '80s goodness. But NBC is taking it from the classroom to the boardroom, reimagining it as a workplace comedy with a loose-cannon genius taking a sheltered co-worker under his wing. To replace Kilmer, we'll need someone with brains and a twinkle in his eye… Dave Franco, maybe?
quote:
The Omen
Lifetime's remake of the creepy 1976 hit about a demonic child who's the spawn of Satan has one good omen going for it: Former Walking Dead showrunner Glenn Mazzara is at the helm. The TV series is a sequel, actually, with an adult Damien realizing he's the Antichrist.
quote:
Problem Child
The 1990 family comedy starring John Ritter and one very naughty boy inspired two big-screen sequels and an animated series; now it's inspiring a NBC reboot, a single-camera comedy penned by Old School writer Scot Armstrong.
quote:
The Girlfriend Experience
Steven Soderbergh is adapting his 2009 experimental drama about a high-end call girl (Sasha Grey) into an anthology series for Starz. And the King of Rock 'n Roll might be rolling in his grave: Up-and-coming actress Riley Keough — aka the granddaughter of Elvis Presley — has signed on to star in the show.
quote:
The Illusionist
The CW is working its magic on the 2006 Edward Norton period drama about a Viennese magician, moving the action to turn-of-the-century New York. In this version, a renowned illusionist gets out of prison and discovers his wife is remarried to the crime boss who framed him. Since this is The CW, how about Chace Crawford as the vengeful magician? (Can he grow a goatee?)
quote:
The Mortal Instruments
The film version of this bestselling YA book series about witches, angels, and demons (starring Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower) landed with a thud at the box office last year. So production company Constantin Film is bringing the remaining books in the series to TV. No network has signed on yet… but this feels tailor-made for The CW, doesn't it?
quote:
Say Anything…
Finally, someone pushed back against the relentless Hollywood remake machine: NBC announced it was making a TV sequel to the beloved 1989 teen romance starring John Cusack as a goofy loner in love with the class brain (Ione Skye). But after Cusack and director Cameron Crowe blasted the project on Twitter, NBC quietly backed out. Hooray! Crank that Peter Gabriel, Lloyd!
quote:
Barbarella
Jane Fonda's sexy 1968 sci-fi romp is being revived by Amazon, with plans to produce a pilot penned by Skyfall writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
quote:
The Terminator
He'll be back: Along with a planned big-screen reboot, the 1984 sci-fi classic is coming to TV in a new series written by Zack Stenz and Ashley Miller, who worked on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
quote:
Dangerous Liaisons
The Oscar-winning 1988 film starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich is coming to TV, with original screenwriter Christopher Hampton penning the pilot. The drama series is currently in development with the BBC, and is shopping for a U.S. network.
quote:
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
ABC Family is developing a young-adult version of the 1992 Rebecca De Mornay thriller about a homicidal nanny who terrorizes a suburban family.
quote:
12 Monkeys
Syfy is adapting the 1995 Bruce Willis-Brad Pitt time-traveling sci-fi flick into a new scripted series, which launches January 16.
quote:
American Psycho
Serial killer Patrick Bateman takes on a deadly protégé in FX's planned sequel to the 2000 Christian Bale film, based on Bret Easton Ellis's bestselling book.
quote:
Outbreak
ER producer John Wells is developing an hour-long drama based on the 1995 monkey-virus thriller for NBC. And it's more timely than ever, with Ebola all over the news these days.
quote:
Reality Bites
The iconic '90s slacker comedy starring Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke is getting turned into a TV series, courtesy of NBC and Bites director Ben Stiller.
quote:
The Exorcist
A fresh take on the classic devil-possession horror film has been shopped around to TV networks, but no deal has been struck yet.
quote:LINK
The Wizard of Oz
Brace yourselves, Munchkins: There are at least four Oz TV remakes currently in development, including a CBS medical drama and a post-apocalyptic Syfy miniseries.

some movies just shouldn't be remade.

Hollywood is officially dead.
Not a creative thought left in that town. Just trying to make one more dollar. It is pretty sad, actually.

Wow. A few of those sounded interesting but most are dreadful.

I find a couple to be appealing. An Evil Dead series with Bruce Campbell? Count me in on that. Most of them sound horrible, though.

Could be cool but Fox will frick it up and cancel it after 4 episodes.

That's an overreaction. Please point to a time when Hollywood was "original."

I actually enjoyed the first movie. I haven't read any of the books, but I do see on IMDB that the second one has been announced. So, maybe not for TV?

It's going to be a TV series.

It's going to be on Fox? They just cancelled good future cop show Almost Human that had JJ Abrams behind it. How is this going to be different?

I'd love to see a remake of "The Money Pit" into a TV series. Every episode can be of them dealing with another shitty issue with their new home.

AMC could do a mini series of Any Given Sunday.
