and substitute my own!
There is a sequel to Romeo and Juliet and a remake of the superb Time After Time among the upcoming tv shows.
I know I'm kicking a dead horse, because this is all that is happening now, but I feel like I either make this thread or go and shout from the rooftop, and it's night here and it's dark and I don't want to fall and die.
A sequel to Romeo and Juliet. Seriously. You can't just make a period piece, you need to try and sequelise Shakespear. If it wasn't so stupid I'd almost have to admire their balls. But Time After Time hurts me even more. The original is such a fantastic movie. The premise (H.G. Wells follows Jack the Ripper who used his time machine to the present day) sounds so silly, but it turns out to be a seriously thrilling and charming movie, with superb roles from Malcolm McDowell and David Warner. A clever, original, perfectly cast movie. So let's fuck it up with by dragging it out to insane lengths as a TV show with a bland, "sexy" new cast.
What, you still have some faith in humanity left? Well then, gaze upon the Tetris Movie Trilogy. I could not make this shit up.
Oh, and they're remaking the Witchfinder General too (I wonder if anyone else here even knows that one), because if there is one thing the world need is to see Vincent Price roles recast.
