The Fall Guy Being Prepped For A Movie; Hollywood Must Die
It is now beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hollywood is completely out of ideas.
Running for five seasons from 1981 to 1986, The Fall Guy starred Lee Majors and was about a stuntman who was also a part-time bounty hunter … and it is now getting a movie reboot.
Excuse me while I go and curl up in a corner and begin sobbing uncontrollably.
Are there seriously no ideas left in Hollywood? Have they completely gone dry and they feel that the only thing left to do is remake/reboot everything that has ever existed? We’ve already had The A-Team, Spider-Man is getting rebooted after only ten years since the first film, and now we’re hitting insanely bad television shows from the early 1980′s that barely anyone remembers?
Hollywood? I officially hate you. You are incapable of putting anything on screen any more that even remotely resembles an original idea, and it’s just disturbing. It isn’t like The A-Team is doing huge box office. It cost $110 million to make, has done $69 million domestic to date, along with $46 million international for a total of $115 million. Count in marketing and such and the film is losing money. True, it will make up some ground in home video release, but it still isn’t exactly setting the film world on fire. So it makes perfect sense to grab another half-assed property from the 1980′s for a film.
Oh, by the way, MacGyver and The Equalizer are also being eyed for movie reboots.
Okay, lets just get this over with, shall we? I’m going to start eyeing the reboot rights to B.J. and the Bear.
