Is todays IPO the first remake of a Robin Williams vehicle? Aug 22, 11:01
Hi tm! I'm curious why you would feel that way... can you elaborate? {nm} Aug 22, 12:00
sure> Aug 22, 12:43
Gotcha. So, nostalgia. Okay. But remember, the target audience (kiddos) won't know who RW was ;) {nm} Aug 22, 12:48
He hasn't been dead THAT long! {nm} Aug 22, 13:54
What was his last memorable movie for that audience? {nm} Aug 22, 14:08
kiddos of today have surely seen him in Night at the Museum x3 {nm} Aug 22, 15:03
My 16 yo dtr couldn't point him out to me today when I asked. I don't think his absence will be an issue. {nm} Aug 22, 15:24
... AND she JUST remembered him as the voice of the Genie in Aladdin, but said; "He was in Jumanji?" LOL {nm} Aug 22, 15:26
You may have heard of television. Maybe DVD's. Aug 22, 14:46
do you really think his absence will make kids not want to see it? Really, really? I doubt... Aug 22, 15:42
Kids? Maybe but the person paying might have a different opinon. {nm} Aug 22, 17:18
So, they won't take their kids because RW is absent? Do you have precedent for this theory at all? {nm} Aug 23, 05:05
TM - I appreciate your nostalgia - I loved RW too, but I don't think this will make a bit of difference @ BO {nm} Aug 23, 05:08
What an awesome response. I also feel the missing piece that Robin Williams left in cinema. However... Aug 22, 14:06
But what niche do you put Jumanji in? Fantasy right? Aug 22, 14:41
Jim Carey could certainly pull it off. {nm} Aug 22, 15:43
Or Jack Black. {nm} Aug 22, 15:53
Jim who? Aug 22, 15:56
the Mask, Bruce Almighty, Pet Detective, liar liar, Grinch, ;) (Carrey, sorry) {nm} Aug 22, 16:44
I think WillRoast was just using horror as an example. No one thought anyone but Robery Englund could be Freddy Aug 22, 17:05
I thought Zathura was a remake of Jumanji. Haha jk {nm} Aug 22, 17:36
A reboot is also essentially a remake. So far all remakes (reboots included) have done rather well., trade,ark Aug 23, 10:38
