Mister TV Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 Universal is rebooting The Munsters again and some exec played "lets remember some movies that ran on UHF stations when I was a kid" and development is starting on a series based on 1976's Car Wash. I missed my calling since I'd totally green light a Fish That Saved Pittsburgh series and a dark remake of Six Pack starring Joaquin Phoenix as Brewster Baker. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/munsters-reboot-car-wash-series-universal-studio-group-1236013059/ 1
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 I feel like they missed their window on Car Wash by a good 25 years. Matter of fact, Dre and Snoop did their version called The Wash back in the early 2000s directed by DJ Pooh. It was...a movie. Probably one of the best things you can say about it. I mean they tried, but it was just basically a low budget homage with a bunch of useless cameos. I could see them basically trying to recreate what The Get Down did or was trying to do with the origins of hip hop in the Bronx, but it would need to feel organic and not ham-fisted. 1
odessasteps Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 If you remake Fish, you’d prob have to replace all the zodiac stuff with something more modern.

dogwelder Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 There's some thought based on the press release that Sony buying Alamo Drafthouse is tied to Sony owning Crunchyroll and pushing more anime films into US theaters.

Crunchyroll made an interesting splash at a convention for theater chain owners. Apparently they did this whole presentation in front of these old people who were "like what the fuck is this" Then Crunchyroll explained how much money is being made from these anime film events and everyone in the room was like "Holy Shit- Sign me up for this Blue Lock Film" Essentially CR came in and said "You don't know us. You don't care about our product. But your grandkids are spending bank on us." I find it interesting that Sony has purchased a theater chain after also making a deal to release Disney blurays. It's like they're trying to mine old revenue streams that others are abandoning. 1
RIPPA Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 For the record - apparently Sony's deal is for 35 Alamos across the country but not all of them For example - the owner of the local Alamo (the one that is thankfully 5 minutes from my house) told the local news that they and all the DC area Alamo's are part of a different franchise group and shouldn't be affected by this deal Here is a full story on the purchase https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/sony-pictures-acquires-alamo-drafthouse-cinemas-1235920928/

But, then, there's not one within four hours of here. AFAIK there's not one in Michigan.
driver Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 Find that surprising as Grand Rapids or Lansing would be a prime location for one.

A lot of Michigan is still full of local chains like Neighborhood Cinema Group and Celebration Cinema. There's some Regal and AMC, though not particularly close to me.
Curt McGirt Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 (edited) I live in the place Roger Ebert was born and he have not only lost the Art Theater, but the Virginia is shutting down after being around for decades. If you think an Alamo would work here, there probably wouldn't be a better place to have a shot, but they're still drying up even though the two chains on either side of town are booming. I'll never be not mad about the Art. Owner wanted to sell the fucking seats out of the place. And now it's just abandoned. Edited June 22, 2024 by Curt McGirt
