Jacob's Ladder Remake

I feel like this is probably fake but then again I wouldn't put it below the current film industry.

gee i wonder who could be behind this

>>85928029
FAKE
Nice bait, of course that won't stop /tv/ from melting down

Remaking Jacob's Ladder is already a terrible idea; changing the races of characters unnecessarily is even worse of an idea.

Hollywood has been remaking the rest of the world's movies for ever because US movie goers can't into subtitles.
Seems logical at some point to fragment the US audience and re-make movies for every kind of niche audience (WASPs, educated, uneducated, women, blacks, Asians...).
The same logic applies and has been for decades.

That said, you did a good job with True Lies. the original French version was too French, even for the French. Except that, it is mostly greed and laziness on your part with mostly poor results.

>>85928029
>reboot

But it's not a franchise, it's a one-off psychological art movie-type of thing made in 1990. Is everything now a franchise? Are they going to "reboot" My Dinner with Andre? Ordinary People? The Piano? It's inane.

LOL

>>85929401
That's because they want black people to watch, and the worst-kept secret of black people is that they prefer lighter-skinned people too. Look at the old "race movies" that used to be made for black audiences in the Golden Age of Hollywood - all the stars look "high yeller", some so pale you can't believe they're actually black. Look at black movies now - not many darker chicks in the leads.

Guys

>a little known one-off flop from 26 years ago
>THIS is the movie that needs to be remade
What the fuck

>>85928029
Until this remake was announced, the only posts on here that mentioned Jacob's Ladder were list posts or one-line "Jacob's Ladder is underrated" comments that nobody ever replied to.

I find the idea of "rebooting" a single film laughable, but I find the sudden pretended concern for the original film even more laughable. I almost hope they make a nigger Satantango next just so you dipshits have to sit through the original "on principle", or else bullshit transparently on /tv/ about how much you love it.

>>85930712
Most people with an interest in movies have seen it but it is kind of ridiculous because remakes usually look for marketability

>>85930568
How it works is this - producer owns a property. Property stopped making most of the money it'll ever make some time ago. The rights revert to someone else soon, or just become profitless baggage. The producer wants to see if he can make some more money without having to buy a new property. He decides to remake it. This is also why Herzog's asinine Bad Lieutenant remake happened.

There's nothing to worry about. People love saying shit like "have you seen the original? I saw it. It's better", so the original film will get more viewers and become, briefly, slightly overrated rather than underrated - in any case it was only underrated because it was underseen. How many people even remember the Total Recall remake with Marky Mark?

>>85929606
We used to tell good stories, and people wanted to remake our films. Delete this post.

>>85930856

>>85930809
>Most people with an interest in movies have seen it

Give me a break, man! In the history of /tv/, you'll find not one thread dedicated to it until the darkie version was announced.

As for the marketability of it, see >>85930856. They'll use the very basics of the plot - enough that anyone else who owns a piece of the original would sue the producer for using a different title, which is as much incentive as it takes.

This is one of the whitest movies you could've picked, too. What are they going to do. Have hooded KKK members following a black dude around in a car? Wheeling the guy through a bunch of job applications at the end? >>85930712

Why would you make such an easily falsifiable claim?

>>85930712
I don't love Jacob's Ladder or even think it's underrated -- I actually think it's somewhat overrated, but that's another matter.

That being said, I usually get peeved over Horror remakes because 99% of the time it's remaking an already good movie which takes very little effort, as opposed to taking a bad movie and making it good.

And changing the races is a stupid political move, imo. I hate when it's done because it's so fucking lazy and clearly used to score brownie points.

In summation: there's zero reason to remake the movie, as is the case with nearly all Horror remakes.

>>85931176
They are remaking old IPs that made money before to make more money out of them. There's no reason remaking a good movie - in your opinion - would be easier than remaking a bad one, and generally speaking, bad movies don't get remade because there's little money associated with them as properties.

This isn't an IP that made money before

It pulled in $26 million on a $25 million budget, which means between marketing and the theater's cut of the profits the studio must have lost millions.

You're saying that not desperately scrolling back to page 27 makes me some faggot? I think you're some faggot to have been so thirsty to contradict me, and SHIT, I just noticed, the third thread in your image has SIX REPLIES! So only one of these threads that prove me wrong ever got more than ten replies, and the one that did was mostly people saying "eh, it's alright".

And why did you do this? So you can insist that your fake outrage is legitimate. It's funny, man.

>>85931546
Then by their standards they ARE remaking a bad movie, what more could you ask?

Jacob's ladder was the only movie that I'd seen that ever went into the topic of chemical weapon deliriants.
I don't see how a drug that has intense, dysphoric and realistic hallucinations the user can't distinguish from reality isn't more interesting to film makers.

>>85931612
Nobody has to even like a movie to be able to be outraged by the useless blackwashing of its "reboot". Being fine with this kind of behavior is just encouraging the film industry to keep doing it which could eventually result in a film you do like having an embarrassing 201X black reboot. They're literally making a whole race a trend by doing shit like this. You still haven't said what there is to even talk about Jacob's Ladder either. It's a pretty straight forward film.

>>85931678
>>85931835
The point is, if you found a total of three threads, only one of which got more than ten replies, and in that thread, most people are either more interested in Silent Hill, possibly watched it because of the Silent Hill connection, or are overall mixed about its merits... it isn't a film that "everyone who cares about film", as one post claimed, has seen or valued.

So yes, this is going to be /tv/ running around like headless chickens for months because niggers got cast in a remake of a movie they don't give a shit about anyway.

Interesting that you assume I don't like Jacob's Ladder. Pointing out that nobody gave much of a shit about it until now isn't a statement that I don't like it. Most movies I like, most of you give even less of a shit about. They are unlikely to ever remake them because they never owned the IP in the first place. I like two that got pointless remakes, The Ladykillers and Bad Lieutenant. Neither of those remakes happening made me feel angry - I just laughed contemptuously then got on with my life. I think you should ask yourself what you're really angry about. Spoiler alert: it's niggers.

The same way fans of The Thing are embarrassed by the shitty 2011 The Thing. Please just stop posting. You've got not a single point and now it's just damage control.

Here, at last, is the only other thread about the original movie not to be stillborn on here. It actually makes the other one, which was mostly expressions of indifference, seem positive.

No, it had an embedded assumption that I don't like Jacob's Ladder because I'm not having a panic attack about the nigger action movie version.

>>85928029

Changing the plot is kinda whack as I'd love to see a black cast/director tackle psychological horror that doesn't involve domestic disputes and schmaltzy dinner scenes where everyone hashes out their problems interspersed with comedy bits. "Action thriller" is definitely not how I'd describe Jacob's Ladder.

But I do love Michael Ealy and will watch just about any garbage with him in it.

>>85934906
But it's not as if the people they're marketing this to would ever have done that.

>>85934939

>Gets beaten up by his former homies who are now good corrupt cops.

Would be a great movie.

OH BOY ANOTHER REBOOT REDDIT!!!!!

>>85935103

That's my point. I'd like to see them attempt something different - like an action thriller or a psychological horror film - without remaking a classic film that fits one of those molds and turning it into the other.

I don't want to see it as an action thriller because that's not what Jacob's Ladder could even be slightly described as. But I DO want to see more action thrillers and genuine horror films from black casts/crew. They need to branch out of their niche.

That's why Get Out felt so refreshing. It was a race-centric horror film that didn't rely on domestic disputes or cheating spouses or lovers turned creepy stalkers. It was a black writer/director embracing a genre and making a solid effort of it.

The future is black, get over it losers

All those movies that were remade, all those actors that were so iconic and gave such a memorable performance, those directors that were so special for being unique, all of them will be gone like tears in the rain.
