Can't say what I am thinking.
I can. I think that an all black remake of It's a Wonderful Life could be absolutely hysterical.
Imagine the possibilities.

Sounds like it’ll be the exact opposite of the original.
Instead of George Bailey being an essential part of Bedford Falls remaining a nice, decent place to live, they’ll have Jamal Balingshalinga find out that he was essential to it remaining a gang-banging ghetto.
Of course, Mr. Potter will remain a rich, old , racist WHITE dude…

I had a black supervisor who marveled over the creativity of the black remake of Karate Kid. Clearly she didn’t realize it was a stolen idea from years ago.

I also like seeing the reaction of people watching Jaws for the first time. Especially the scene when the shark first jumps out of the water while Brody (Roy Scheider) is throwing out the chum. And then he walks slowly backward and tells Quint they need a bigger boat (and he’s not wrong).

Hey, I’m sure that even though over 60% of black kids in this country are born into single family home jerks like this portray this movie as an idyllic existence for them and somehow fit white racism into it.

I wager that will be as roaring as success as the remake of The Honeymooners starring Cedric the Entertainer as Ralph Kramden.
Books/movies are classics for a reason, and DEI wokeism isn't it.

It might be kind of interesting to see Eddie Murphy (in one of his signature getups) playing Mr. Potter. Chris Rock mightt also be a good choice for George Bailye. But, beyond that, I can think of anything I’d want to see.
I do agree that Mr. Potter will probably end up being a racist, old White guy. Maybe the only White guy in the movie.

“and every couple has a black male and white female..“
With two kids - one Asian and one Hispanic..
It’s beyond childish.

“A remake was done in the 70s with Marlo Thomas and Wayne Rogers. Marlo had the lead role.”
So, instead of a male lead, we had a female lead? Now it is time for a black male lead, next a black female lead or a Hispanic lead? Maybe a gay lead? A transgender lead? A handicapped lead?

Yep....and Clarence was played by a gal. I look back at how politically correct the remake was.
At the time I didn't know Thomas was such a lib. I just knew was the good looking girl on "That Girl".
