According to Filmonic John Stevenson is set to direct a new version of the used-to-be popular He-Man IP. Why does this all seem so eerily familiar? Oh that's right, it's because they already did this way back in 1987. Perhaps Warner Bros. Thought that they could handle this one with a little more composure and make it a little more faithful to the original franchise. Whatever the case may be, I'm so tired of seeing these "re-boots." The studios must be counting on the short memory of the audience. Otherwise why would they made two entirely different Incredible Hulk movies in less than six years, and now with talks of another Superman re-boot just around the corner, will it ever end? But sometimes they get it right, right? After all, most people would probably argue that the Chris Nolan Batman franchise is better than the Tim Burton/Joel Shumacher series. Still, isn't there a grace period in which we should wait before we start remaking freshly made movies. With Hollywood relentlessly mining the archives for movie ideas, the well is running dry. And they've all but reached the present. Pretty soon they'll start to re-make movies while the original is still in production à la Spaceballs. When will then be now? Well...now, I guess.
