The original is actually entertaining. So I had concerns they were doing a new version.

If anything, it would have been nice to see it be a strong effort to match the first, let alone surpass it.

hate to admit it, but on paper, MCU has a hell of a line-up this year: Raimi, Waititi, Coogler

I F’n loved the original. New version is not fit to wipe the originals arse if that were at all possible or conceivable.

And another thing, if you’re going to remake a Stephen King movie, don’t mess with Firestarter, Christine, Stand by me or Shawshank Redemption.

Please do a proper Running Man, Apt Pupil and Dark Tower series. But I get that they can’t translate the written horror of Apt Pupil onto the screen. And that ending would never fly in todays climate.

Quote

This year, the studio took a decidedly different approach. It skipped the show floor completely, including a presence for DC Comics. And while it did use its hour-long panel in Hall H to showcase two of its 2022 releases — “Black Adam” and “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” — the studio’s biggest DC movies for 2023, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “The Flash,” were completely MIA. There was no mention of other DC titles like “Batgirl” (expected to debut this year) and “Blue Beetle” (the first Latino superhero film), nor updates on the future of Gal Gadot’s “Wonder Woman” and Robert Pattinson’s “The Batman.” (Meanwhile, persistent internet rumors of an appearance by “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill proved to be as unfounded as they seemed.)

 

This is also the first Comic-Con for Warner Bros. under its new ownership at Warner Bros. Discovery, and CEO David Zaslav has made clear he’s taking a harder look at spending across the company — including for events like Comic-Con, where studios have to shell out for talent, housing, transportation and staffing. Studio insiders say “Aquaman 2” and “The Flash” are too far away on the schedule to warrant a big splash at Comic-Con, or to have enough materials to support one.

 

The circumstances of Heard and Miller’s situations are quite different. However, in both cases, Warner Bros. is facing down an impossible dilemma without much precedent, even in the #MeToo era: How to promote their escapist superhero franchises when their stars are embroiled in toxic scandals that overwhelm all other conversation about them.

 

In the case of “Aquaman 2,” Walter Hamada, who runs the studio’s DC unit, testified in a video deposition in the Heard-Depp trial that the studio did consider recasting Heard in the role of Mera opposite star Jason Momoa because the actors “didn’t have a lot of chemistry together.”

 

Mera, however, isn’t the central character for “Aquaman,” and promotion for the film could downplay Heard’s presence. That isn’t possible for “The Flash,” which is built around Miller’s performances as multiple versions of their speedster character, Barry Allen. Though the studio could replace Miller for any future “Flash” movies, calls to reshoot Muschietti’s film with a new actor are financially untenable.

 

The Flash was referenced during the panel, in the “Shazam! 2” trailer, just not by name; though the character appeared on screen, Miller’s face did not. (By contrast Aquaman and Batman get a full name-check in the trailer, with Momoa and Ben Affleck’s faces both appearing on screen.)

 

At some point, Warner Bros. will need to engage the DC fan base about these films and the actors within them. But rather than try to navigate these choppy waters in front of some 6,000-plus superfans at Comic-Con, Warner Bros. elected to avoid them altogether — for now.

I just don't get WB-Discovery's SDCC decision to go extremely light.

Not sure where to put this as the first movie was a decent yet disposable action flick.  This is a great simple trailer.
