Is todays IPO the first remake of a Robin Williams vehicle? tradermark Aug 22, 11:01

Hi tm! I'm curious why you would feel that way... can you elaborate? {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 12:00

sure> tradermark Aug 22, 12:43

Gotcha. So, nostalgia. Okay. But remember, the target audience (kiddos) won't know who RW was ;) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 12:48

He hasn't been dead THAT long! {nm} DTravel Aug 22, 13:54

What was his last memorable movie for that audience? {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 14:08

kiddos of today have surely seen him in Night at the Museum x3 {nm} andy007 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} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin 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} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 15:26

You may have heard of television. Maybe DVD's. tradermark Aug 22, 14:46

do you really think his absence will make kids not want to see it? Really, really? I doubt... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 15:42

Kids? Maybe but the person paying might have a different opinon. tradermark 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} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin 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} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 23, 05:08

What an awesome response. I also feel the missing piece that Robin Williams left in cinema. However... Willroast Aug 22, 14:06

But what niche do you put Jumanji in? Fantasy right? tradermark Aug 22, 14:41

Jim Carey could certainly pull it off. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 15:43

Or Jack Black. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 15:53

Jim who? {nm} My teenage daughter Aug 22, 15:56

the Mask, Bruce Almighty, Pet Detective, liar liar, Grinch, ;) (Carrey, sorry) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Aug 22, 16:44

I think WillRoast was just using horror as an example. No one thought anyone but Robery Englund could be Freddy Dorfman Aug 22, 17:05

I thought Zathura was a remake of Jumanji. Haha jk {nm} Dorfman Aug 22, 17:36

A reboot is also essentially a remake. So far all remakes (reboots included) have done rather well., trade,ark DiNar0 Aug 23, 10:38
