Unless they do a *shudder* \u201d\u02dcgritty reboot\u2019&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Drop Dead Fred<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kgh27gCgiQw\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The <i>Drop Dead Fred <\/i>remake has been in the works since 2009, when Universal announced a reboot with none other than Russell Brand in the role of Fred. There was even mention of \u201d\u02dca universe&#8230;of imaginary friends\u2019, pre-dating the oh-so-hot cinematic universe trend started by Marvel.<\/p>\n<p>A lot has happened in the 6 years since, though. Rik Mayall, who starred in the original, sadly passed away; \u00a0Russell Brand\u2019s remake of <i>Arthur <\/i>flopped at the box office, which effectively ended his Hollywood career; and Russell became an internet revolutionary.<\/p>\n<p>In short, this might not happen&#8230;but no-one has confirmed its dead either.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Men In Black<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HYUd7AOw_lk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Men in Black are coming back, but not as we know them. <a href=\"https:\/\/io9.com\/men-in-black-isnt-getting-a-sequel-so-now-its-getting-1732893301\">Announced in September<\/a>, this reboot of <i>Men In Black<\/i> will have no Will Smith, no Tommy Lee Jones and presumably no catchy feelgood theme tune either \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>There are very few details on this one at the moment, apart from a persistent rumour that it will somehow tie into the <i>Jump Street <\/i>films. <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/jump-street-female-spinoff-and-men-in-black-crossover-in-the-works\/\">We\u2019re not joking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Point Break<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SQvPRb4HADE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Unlike some of the films in this post, this is definitely 100% happening and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>The first trailer, released in May, caused all manner of online outrage. It\u2019s still about an FBI agent infiltrating a gang of surfers, although this time the surfers do other extreme sports too, which gives the film a perfect excuse to stage lots of ridiculous stunts.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, imagine a Red Bull advert mixed with <i>Fast and Furious <\/i>and you\u2019ve more or less got this. Actually, that doesn\u2019t sound too bad&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><i>Point Break <\/i>is released in January. We can almost hear the grumbles from here.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Jumanji<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5p18zqZmeiI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yep, really. A remake of <i>Jumanji <\/i>is being released in 2016, which means that a) every film you once loved will be remade and b) you\u2019re getting really old.<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any details on who will take on Robin William\u2019s role but <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.eonline.com\/news\/683862\/people-are-livid-about-this-jumanji-remake-and-we-don-t-blame-them\">the internet seems to have made its mind up on this one already<\/a>. Let\u2019s just say they aren\u2019t keen and leave it at that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>The Crow<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N5uPZ7ocsqA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The remake of the film that inspired a generation of goths (and at least one professional wrestler) has been brought back from dead more times than poor old Eric Draven himself.<\/p>\n<p>Until November, it was very much dead after Jack Huston, who was set to play the main character, decided to drop out.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the news that<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2015\/film\/asia\/the-crow-set-to-shoot-in-2016-1201645363\/\"> the film is set to shoot in 2016 with no lead actor in place<\/a>. Expect a legion of teenagers to start wearing black and white facepaint next year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Power Rangers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vQz8iZ9ot1I\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There are already about 20 gazillion versions of the <i>Power Rangers <\/i>already, but this one appears to be a remake of the <i>Mighty Morphin\u2019 <\/i>\u00a0variety (AKA the best one).<\/p>\n<p>It has been described <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.ign.com\/articles\/2015\/06\/06\/power-rangers-movie-will-be-mature-but-still-playful-says-director?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ign%2Fall+%28IGN+All%29\">as both \u201d\u02dcmature\u2019 and \u201d\u02dcgrounded\u2019, but \u201d\u02dcstill playful\u2019.<\/a> Sounds dangerously like a gritty reboot to us; the Red Ranger as a hard-drinking maverick, anyone?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Which 90s movies would you like to see remade?
