Re: REboot... REboot....REboot.
Whirrr-CLONK ... whirrr-CLONK ...
What follows is one of the best SF action set pieces in cinema history.
Pulled off WITHOUT CGI.
And on the topic at hand, Alien vs Predator was a double reboot and about as dumb as you'd expect.

said by me1212  :I too dislike reboots, and we are not alone. (youtube clip) it has a few bad words. And space balls got a reboot, in the form a cartoon on G4. ROFL! I had not seen this one.
Foamy deserves a star in hollywood. He is an epic member of the scene.  |

Pleasant Hill, MO | That foamy vid came out like two or 3 weeks ago. I think it is the most recent Foamy vid.
Any way, Foamy FTW! His videos were the first youtube play list i ever made. |

said by Boricua65 :The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 with Denzel Washington is coming out real soon. I can't say if it's good or not, but definitely should not have been made. Concur. Just from seeing the ads about it, I think there's no way this is going to live up to the original.

I found a list of the 20 most anticipated movies of 2010......
MANY of them would be considered 'reboots' and while not sci-fi, fantasy or horror, do deserve to be discussed.

Regarding Buffy, I read that the producers, not including Joss Whedon, want to do a relaunch of Buffy as a movie. Here's a link to one story:

A Daredevil reboot with Starbuck as Typhoid Mary?
I certainly hope so...

I don't remember if I saw it in this thread or not but I just saw on Google News that Ridley Scott has agreed to direct an Alien Prequel. If this is old news, please forgive me.

It should've stopped after Aliens (which is the second film).

No exactly sci-fi but Red Dawn is being remade. I remember seeing the original and thought what an interesting film.
