what does this even mean. it's going to be like Underworld or some shit? i seriously cannot reconcile "Jacob's Ladder remake" and "action thriller" in my mind and have any clear picture of what this movie is going to be like.

>Williams said the upcoming film is a total re-imagining of the cult classic. And he's particularly excited the film will add to a genre that's historically overlooked black actors in lead roles.
"In the space of psychology thrillers, we are never really represented -- especially films showing black families," Williams said. "I’m looking forward to this."
why the fuck are they butchering the name of a fantastic, underrated horror movie for an excuse to make some totally different black empowerment flick? I wouldn't even care if the characters were black if it still has the spirit of the original but this is clearly a fucking abortion.
>fucking Jacobs Ladder is going to be the next muh social justice debate hotpiece
>tons of faggots from both sides latching onto it
is fucking nothing safe? Why does this have to happen to some obscure little horror flick?

What an odd property to reboot. the first one is a solid movie. Some producer must have had an idea for a movie and saw they had the rights to Jacob's Ladder. Slapped the name on the idea to try and sell more of it.

>>85667073

The film is all about making peace with yourself. When you've found peace, does anything more need to be said or done?

>>85668127
Why not make an original psychological horror with a black cast? Copying a film with a white cast doesn't seem like it would help their social justice cause much.
Look at the success of Get Out, an original film where the blackness of it is integral to the plot.

>>85667565
Liberals made the original film you stupid fucking faggot. Has that thought never crossed your mind,dipshit? Do you think of ANYTHING when you type or talk, or do you just spaz out and blurt whatever retarded thing comes across your feeble brain? Fucking hell. So dumb.

>>85668416
Exactly, especially because Jacob's Ladder has an incredibly strong theme/point already that is obviously being sidelined now, this post >>85668239 has to be right, there's no other reason this would happen. The name "Jacob's Ladder" certainly wouldn't sell tickets, even among horror fans and cult classics Jacob's Ladder is relatively obscure. The things it influenced (Silent Hill, The Sixth Sense) ended up way more famous than it.
>>85668457
Most filmmakers are liberal and Adrian Lyne had an actually good vision for his film, it has some political undertones but it takes place during a time that liberals actually had something real to fight for instead of having to make up stupid shit. The difference between the original and the reboot is pretty symbolic of the difference between Liberals of then vs now.

why

>>85670640
it's a remake of an influential film that holds up

The Thing from Another World was dated at least when Carpenter remade it.

That movie was brutal to watch, crazy how Robbins made it about the same time he did Cadillac Man

>>85668127
I live in downtown Cleveland and desu black families would be a pretty prime topic for psychological thriller/horror:

>nearly everyone endured years of child abuse
>heavily involved in substances at a young age
>tons of murder in the area
>no education

Just saying it could lead to some cool setups for an interesting unreliable narrator psychological thriller.

Not only will white people NOT watch this, a good chunk of the black community won't purely out of hatred of light skinned niggas. A bunch of twitter feminists and BLM Faggots will complain ad nausea about how Hollywood blatantly ignores darker blacks. Chalk this one up as a failure ASAP

>>85671830

This is Rashida Jones all over again but worse, atleast she seemed vaguely ethnic

I watched Jacob's Ladder yesterday or friday, I don't remember, this made me google the movie again because I thought that Elizabeth Peña was qt as fuck and turns out she died in 2014, I also found out she was the chick in Rush Hour

What's the target audience for this film? People who liked the original won't see it because it's JL in name only. I hope the don't give the film a large budget, unless money laundering, because this shit won't break 100m. RIPD tanked and that had Ryan Renolds in his prime with the dude in it.

Think Get Out, it was a commercial and critical success.

>>85672412
Hahah I just googled Jesse Williams and if you dont know he has a black father I actually wouldnt have known whether he was black or not.

Jacobs Ladder is extremely overrated. The ending was predictable from a mile away, I really dont see what the fuss is all about.

t. Assblasted Spic or Chink

Black people actually put in work creating online campaigns asking for more diversity. Latinos and Asians sit on their ass all day and then get mad when we get something and y'all don't. And if Latinos and Asians really wanted to see themeselves they can watch one of the many shows and films from their home country. African-Americans had already been separated from Africa for like 400 years before they were freed, we don't know what countries we're from and we definitely don't know any of the languages.

Reboot is used when you restart a franchise. They just want to avoid saying remake, because remake is a badword in Hollywood now.

The story has caused disputes within the NOI during its history. Under its current leader Louis Farrakhan, the NOI continues to assert that the story of Yakub is true, stating that modern science is consistent with it.

Wasn't The Jacket basically a Jacob's Ladder remake? Also the whole Vietnam thing kept the movie from being anything special.

Rashida Jones is heavily mixed, just like this guy. It's not surprising that you couldn't tell. Jone's dad is like 60% black at best and even then he has a bunch of other non-negroid admixture in him. Jones herself is like 1/3 or 1/4. It's the same with this guy. His nog parent was already heavily mixed so he comes out looking the way does.
