There’s no market or audience for it.
Well there is but that audience doesn’t like going to movie theaters anymore.
Well, well, well, Peggy...you Manhattan cocktail party girl, guess what? Many of us never lost faith in America.
Oh sure, we have terrible presidents every now and then (like now), the Media (read: you) suck, and classic rock statio a continue playing Springsteen ad nauseum.
But as long as free men and women can breathe, America's chance is never in doubt.
Maybe from your lofty perch on that tropical little island off the coast of America called Manhattan, America is domed and you need a movie remake to raise your spirits. How typical.
Many people aren’t Americans anymore. Many of those that ARE Americans don’t live near NY , nor go to a theater.
The mistake was the remake not just being Pats and Bobbies, all genders , with purple and green hair. You know, normal Americans.
Hollywood has betrayed America for too long. They are with with the media: enemies of the people.
A pet art-movie by Stephen Spielberg and we’re all supposed to bow down to it?
1) It’s a musical.
2) Very few people alive today have even seen the original all the way through.
3) It’s a musical.
OTOH, Hollywood would seem to have all its chips on the “Top Gun” reboot. They keep pushing the release date back on that one, trying to find a gap in COVID to get a major theatrical release. I think that will be the test as to whether America has permanently changed its viewing habits.
arrrgh...
