- Thread starter exiledking
- Start date
Good picks.
I would add:
and
I would add:
and
Cotton would enter a gentrified Harlem.
Why does it have to take place in 2018 Harlem....?
It could very well be set in the '50's, '60's, '70's (like the original) or even the early '80's...
Plus, it doesn't have to be cotton this time. It could be something else entirely...

Mahogany would be kinda cool for Jay and Beyonce lol
For some reason I got ashanti in my head for the other joint
Good one.
When I first heard of this movie long before I ever rented it, I thought "Cotton" was a gangster or something. In my mind the title was referring to him coming to Harlem and shaking shit up.
The Naked Prey

Bingo Long was the shit!!
Zulu

These two films showcase Africans as violent, bloodthirsty, primitive savages and White people as heroic survivors...
In the age of "Wakanda Forever", the concept of Africans being unintelligent savage masses just won't fly.

Man i dnt think it should remade bro..its to me like a timeless classic no matter what it stands the same as the time it was in...but if remade who could kill it u think?

The movies show Africans kicking White folks ass.
The way they should have done when White folks first showed up.
Those movies ain’t no Wakanda shit.
Yeah.
That's nice and all.
But the FACT is; in both films:
- Blacks were portrayed as violent savages.
- Whites were the victims and survivors of "Black Aggression".
So no matter how you slice it, Blacks were portrayed as LESS than human murderous savages.
Meanwhile "The Colonizer" was somehow made to look MORE human by overcoming and outsmarting them.
No different than a John Wayne film in which he's "protecting" Whites from those savage Sioux or Navajo Indians attacking a wagon train...

Well.....
When the two flicks are remade, let’s show the Africans wearing hoodies and Timberlands and chasing the White Man with Machetes and Glocks on the streets of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
I think we can agree on that.

I don't want a remake but a continuation of Devil in a Blue Dress,with Denzel
Don't play us Cheap
Together Brothers
Enemy Territory
People Under the stairs
Single White female
WaterMelon man
St.Louis Blues
I can't think of the name of it but it's a black and white film and one of the main characters was named Little Joe and he had a gambling habit and all he wanted was to win back his wifes money so he could make it into heaven where she was and she was still mad at him....Ice Cube made a reference about Little Joe in the song "Today was a good day"

Some black classics should be left the fuck alone. For instance, the remake of "Raisin In The Sun" with P Diddy and Phylicia Rashad in the main roles had me shaking my fists at the screen.
Somebody suggested "Which Way Is Up", "Buck and the Preacher" and Bingo Long... be remade; to which I say NO, NO, FUCK NO!!!!

Kevin Hart in Talks to Star in Warner Bros.’ ‘Uptown Saturday Night’ Remake (EXCLUSIVE)

Warner Bros. and Overbrook Entertainment’s long-gestating remake of the 1974 comedy “Uptown Saturday Night” looks to be gearing up again, with Kevin Hart in negotiations to star.
Will Smith and his Overbrook Entertainment partner James Lassiter are producing with “Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris writing the most recent draft. For years, the project was developed as possible starring vehicle for Smith and Denzel Washington, but busy schedules for both A-listers have forced Smith to serve as a producer on the project, opening the door for Hart to take the lead.
Sources say the studio is now focused on finding a director before tapping Hart’s co-star, and should have one locked in soon.
The original pic starred Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby and followed two friends who sneak out to visit a high-class but illegal club and trouble ensues. Jesse Ehrman is overseeing for the studio.
Hart has become one of Hollywood’s most bankable comedians and is coming off his biggest hit to date with Sony’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” which grossed $962 million worldwide, including $404 million domestically. Sony is currently developing a sequel to the film and hopes to start production by early 2019, allowing Hart time to squeeze another movie in before that starts.
Hart can be seen next in the Universal comedy “Night School,” which opens this September and also stars Tiffany Haddish. He is repped by UTA and 3 Arts.

No.
No, we don't.
Because you still advocate for a film in which we're depicted as violent savages.
You're just changing the venue and costumes. Nothing more.
But hey, bro.
If this is what you want to see then, more power to you. Enjoy...
