Nothing is sacred in Hollywood. Everything they own the rights to is just possible fodder for a remake or re-imagining. While Disney is notorious for this, Paramount is taking its swing at the title for “most unwanted reimagining” with a remake of “It’s A Wonderful Life.”
Paramount, along with “Black-ish” director Kenya Barris, plans on remaking the iconic holiday film for modern audiences by remaking the film with POC actors because that worked out so well for “The Wonder Years” reboot.
Barris mentioned this project, along with a new “Wizard of Oz” film set in Inglewood at the Sundance Film Festival. Variety reported on the comments that were made by Barris as he was taking part in the Variety Studio presented by Audible

Might be worth watching if they do all the dialogue in ebonics and jive - sadly we no longer have Barbara Billingsley with us to do the translation.
Luckily for me, I only watch F1 and some tennis.
All other tv is done.
It keeps my head from exploding…
Maximum Liberty
Let all voices be heard
They wanna use their own money to make a movie targeted at 18% of the population? Go for it.
When it flops, report that as well.
Folks will reveal themselves for what they are.
Let them.
I feel like I am watching TV in Capetown when the commercials come on.
Does this mean the snow will be black in the scenes where it is present? Asking for a friend.......
Write your own stories.
Blacks get angry if a white person wears dreads or hoop earrings. Appropriate someone else’s culture for a change. “Modern” audiences. Humph.
Movies, favorite old TV shows being redone using minorities, pi$$e$ me off!
No original ideas, just get rid of the white actors!
I can’t name them all because I refuse to watch them but to start the list ...
Magnum PI
MacGyver
The Honeymooners
The Wild Wild West
Anyone else think of some?😟
(Yes, of course the commercials make all whites the minority)
Already a black wizard of oz called The Wiz with Michael Jackson
They need to make authentic shows and movies featuring Black characters. Like the Cosby Show. That was the most popular show in America during the '80s.
You can't just replace Jack Bauer or James Bond and expect it to work.
As I imagine it is with many, I’m sick of having this stuff shoved down my throat ad nauseam.
I’m beginning to theorize that it is being done to deliberately foster white resentment. It’s part of the program to devolve this country into racial anarchy. While that sounds rather conspiratorial it fits to a T.
Too many involved in this stuff have a vested interest in racial hate, division, and violence.
It is most definitely not being done with the goal of fostering racial harmony.
We watch roots once a year and play it backwards so it has a happy ending
I am waiting for a documentary starring a black G Washington, and a whole cast of black founders.
Hasn’t “The Wiz” already been done?
You’ve ruined it! You gave away the formula with no SPOILER ALERT*** warning.
"...mah mouth's bleeding, Bert!, mah mouth's bleeding!"
The evil banker, of course, will continue to be an old white male.
Sounds like cultural appropriation.
“evil banker, of course, will continue to be an old white male.”
And look like President Trump.
I think it’s time for the black folks to start paying reparations to the whitey crackers....
