THIS WILL NOT STAND

Robert Macdonald, email I was reading through this month’s edition of SFX, which arrived today. I always look forward to the Red Alert section.

What I couldn’t help but notice is that there seems to be a distinct lack of original material being made, either for the cinema or the TV.

The MCU aside, the words remake/reboot have cropped up a lot over the past few years. It would seem that studio execs are scared of anything new… The Stand, anyone? The original was bad and even a bigger budget and stellar cast couldn’t save this new version from being ho-hum…

SFX All we need now is a reboot of the Reboot reboot and the universe will implode. That is how physics works, isn’t it?

It’s been a good few months since The Stand was remade… again.
