Did this really need a reboot?

To be fair, the original is such a non-important pop culture artifact...it’s mostly known for Brad and Angelina hooking up....it’s hard to get worked up about a remake.

That's the chick from Fleabag right? I'm interested to see her take on an action show.

I took it as they're not starring in it but writing/producing the project.
If so, I'm all in. They're both great behind the camera.

Part of the draw of the original one was too dominant A list stars at the top of their game
Donald Glover is good but nowhere near A list and Phoebe two last names definitely isnt

Movie was shite, but I am a Glover fan. . .so I'll likely watch.

she was the head writer on season 1 of Killing Eve. not a typical action show but close enough.

The only reason, ONLY REASON, that movie is interesting is a couple of strikingly attractive people on screen doing attractive people shite.
These two folks ain’t it.

I'd never heard of Phoebe Waller-Bridge so I assumed that was just a bad pic of her. I looked her up, and...nope. It's actually one of the better pics of her.
That's the best they could come up with to reboot an Angelina Jolie character? This poor girl will never live up to the comparisons that will absolutely be made.

The left hates beauty, for a lot of reasons.
You see it in leftist art and how it seeks to shock and wallow in the ugly, rather than depict something beautiful that uplifts you. You also see it in the architecture they embrace, their modern designs are purposefully cold and alienating. Dehumanizing.
This is also why they've worked to normalize obesity.
So yes, Waller-Bridge is an ugly woman. But she's the new beautiful to leftists, in the way that Michelle Obama was.

Two of the best writers/producers of the last decade coming together. This is a win for the culture.

Hollywood churns out tons of beautiful eye-candy actresses with very suspect acting and creative talent - all the time.
I don't know Phoebe Waller-Bridge at all, but your broad stroke contention is silly. Not every person in Hollywood is amazingly attractive, but to state they don't care about inherent attractiveness is dumb.
My takeaway for this reboot is two-fold:
#1 Why?
#2 Does Donald Glover have more hours in his day than the rest of us?

Fleabag won a ton of awards. She's also the writer/producer for Killing Eve, which is a great show.
