According to the announcement from Deadline, no details have been released regarding what possible changes will be made to the original storyline (for one thing, 1992 is a hell of a lot different than 2021) but it will supposedly follow a similar plot to the original. Calmatic's "House Party" reboot is also being produced by LeBron James through his SpringHill Company label, which means "White Men Can't Jump" will be his second foray into entertainment produced by NBA stars. Maybe the folks behind "Space Jam 2" should have waited a little while longer because it sounds like Calmatic would have been a perfect fit.

Who was looking for this? I do not see what they could do to the film that hasn't already been done. The story was complete, it was awesome, it took you on an emotional journey following a man who would gamble his retirement away if he had the option. Is originality really this dead? I would have taken another Fast and Furious over this.​

I love this movie.. But a remake?... No!
Whenever they remake classic movie's they F'em up, and it's usually corny, story sucks and the acting is garbage.
They have no original ideas (Hollywood)
It's no different when singers remake songs, we need more black writers, movie makers and story tellers.
Black panther, Exellent story, Harder they fall, Exellent story ect.

I too feel the same. They finally get their legs back and there he goes cutting them once again. Towards the tail end of the game I start wincing and cringing because I see Rosie Perez's face of disappointment in my head.

I wish Hollywood would stop with these remakes and reboots how about some new IPs and new stories. Who's with me

 

[Rex Lawrence]

The remake is never as good as the original. Why not create a new story? How about the Michael Vick NFL story? How about a track and field story?

I believe that risk is stifling creativity which is leading to sequels and remakes. They know this story worked and want to reuse it for an easy win. They’ll probably make a slight change where Wesley Snipes character is gay and the final games is at the Black Trans Live Matters Summer Pickup.

Sadly, that sounds about right.

We definitely know that it won’t be woody’s character that will be the LGBT+. OR they may get absurd and make Wesley’s character a butch lesbian striving to be accepted in the street ball circuit.

 

[Kenton_Jerome]

No thanks, they need to stop with remake hell. We need new stories.

This is true they don't want to take a risk but that will hurt them in the long run. People are tired of the same material being put out over and over. You already know the black dude is going to be gay if they do it lol.

Real talk. Next thing you know they are going to remake Terminator 2 and John Connor is going to be Sarah Connor's adopted non-binary son from Mozambique.

Nigga gonna be extra gay and sassy too. Then we have to see all the articles about how the actor is so brave and pushing cinema forward.

 

[TAILIANNA]

ya they gon ruin it, and wes and billy hoyles chemistry was too good, money train too

 

[HeffDawg]

30 years later and them niggas still can’t jump.

Thats the thing I learned from that movie. He always wanted to dunk like the brothers. But he didnt ever have to. He always got a break. Even though the movie didnt show it, you know his wife didnt get too far away.

My favorite squad was King and Duck.

What happened to originality, just remakes years later? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Loved "Money Train" & Robert Blake still looked good, surprisingly. 😁

 

[TAILIANNA]

yoo cuz lost alot of money too i seen google ask how did he lose his money i thought it was gon say on a money train ^^

Financial Issues: In 2006, shortly after he was ordered to pay a settlement of $30 million to the estate of Bonnie Lee, Robert Blake filed for bankruptcy. He listed a total of $3 million in liabilities. In 2010, the state of California filed a lien against the actor seeking $1,110,878 in unpaid back taxes.

Real talk! Not frequenting movie theaters, because of CoVid pricing, CoVid & parents with noisy children & not paying for subscriptions that don't add new content! 💯

Ive seen that movie too many times to count like most of us. In the era of reboots and remakes this was a no brainer. It wont touch the original but I'll stay opened minded

Hollywood has truly run out of ideas! I'm with you! lol

 

[sourgrapes]

I must have overlooked this thread. I did enjoy this movie, been several years since I seen it but a remake? Why? Who would this be for? I feel like they are trying to ruin everything that had success right now. wtf is wrong with them? Make new content. If these writers are this piss poor, maybe they shouldn't be part of Hollywood.
