The worst remakes of series from the 60s, 70s and 80s – El Colombiano

Netflix is ​​unstoppable. The streaming service accumulating 58 million users worldwide chain no longer an announcement after another, especially those related to the productions that prepares for the coming seasons.

The last bomb that was known was wrenched a John Stamos in an interview on The Jimmy Kimmel. Who? What? The name will probably sound strange but this veteran of 51 years was one of the most sought after leading men in late 80s account Series Full House , known in Latin America as Three for three.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Stamos confirmed that Netflix is ​​preparing a Spin off of Three for three this year. It will be named Fuller House and will similar to the premiere in 1987 series that lasted for eight seasons until 1995. However, yes it is such good news as history so that crowds of Internet make such a fuss?

That is Netflix in charge of reviving the corpse apparently still has many fans mourners can be a guarantee of success for the work has made productions like Orange is the new black or House of Cards is impeccable in every detail of production. In addition, Netflix recently demonstrated his prowess Doctor Frankesten to revive the stinking corpses Daredevil series, which has become a cult that reinvented the Marvel universe.

Netflix has on his side the nostalgia Full House can generate in the audience today puts more than 30 candles on their birthday cakes, a segment of the public that covers at least 40% of its audience. But it also has other headwinds, series last of which have tried to do remakes that have become a history of failure and bad taste.

Punishment and glories of remakes

This field can have some unfortunate fiascos like V The Final Battle, a transmitted series between 1983 and 1985 it became a classic science fiction. So you have had five years when issued, will surely remember those headed lizard aliens who enslaved the human race and eating live mice. The remake was done in this series in 2009 was not at all memorable and string abc suspended production after the second season.

Another recent failure but this time on the big screen, was the remake of The Magnificent (The A Team). Also in 1983, this series of five seasons embedded in the culture as a mortar. Mario Baracus, Murdoch, Face and Hannibal Smith had more engagement with the public that the very superfriends. The original cast members have felt cramps in his gut when the film was released, the July 30, 2010, as the resulting eyesore not only received well-deserved critical saber but was a total failure at the box office because in the nearly five years that have passed since its release was unable to retrieve the $ 110 million it cost production. Hardly has raised just over 77 million.

Hollywood producers seem to learn the lesson. Other series of 80 and 90 who have tried to revive such films have suffered the same fate. Name one and have the story of a failure between teeth:

The Dukes of Hazzard, 1979, is an immortal title that nurtured the first erotic dreams of adolescents 80 and the 2005 film is a total lack of respect with irritating protagonists, loose jokes and a female protagonist to which lacked that elegant eroticism while brash of Daisy Original Duke.

Miami Vice us name also to remember the good times you gave us Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in the series 1984 and ofrescamos condolences for the terrible film that He debuted in 2006 with Collin Farrell and Jamie Foxx heading the cast.

Some say that Mission Impossible is a special case that can not be compared with previous because It was not only a successful and long-running series (7 seasons between 1966 and 1973) but returned to the screen between 1988 and 1990, with not so good- results and then landed in Hollywood with the face of Tom Cruise in 1996 giving start to a saga this year premieres its fifth installment, although at this point it does not know if it’s because you have troops followers or because the poor Tom Cruise has no other way to stay current.

Of course not have to be totally negative when it comes to remakes of the last series. The Fugitive is a good example of how to make a good series and not die. The story of Richard Kimble stirred the hearts of audiences in 1963 and thousands followed their adventures over five years, until 1967. Those born in later years and could not know the charm of this medical elusive received a nice gift with adaptation starring Harrison Ford by 1993.

You can also highlight what happened with El Santo, the spy series issued between 1962 and 1969 that served as cradle for the third James Bond, Roger Moore and in 1997 was adapted into a film with the lead role by a promising then Val Kilmer. The film was not a box office hit but it certainly was one of the last stories I took what was left of the Cold War to feed the tension between Soviet and American.

But mind. No it is wrong to hope. It is not wrong to believe that the remake of Full House be as endearing as the original version nor is deplorable illusions deposited in other titles that are advertised in the future.

It is already confirmed the return of the agents Mulder and Scully The X Files begins to shuffle the possibility of producing a remake of The American superhero, this absurd parody of 1981; who makes a couple of months is deluded with a new season of Twin Peaks hope that one day in reality nothing discourages even David Lynch’s refusal to participate in the project; and titles such as Remington Steele also mentioned in the schedule of future productions.

Amid this fiftieth anniversaries exploitation of titles, one wonders if it is true nostalgic or creative drought screenwriters why both remake -. There are very interesting news that go unnoticed as the remake that is prepared -Guardianes Thunderbirds series of space, this British production 1965 ed telling a science fiction story with puppets

It is worth wait and worth excited when trying to revive a good story. Furthermore, it can be good business, that says Jimmy Fallon that went viral meeting the cast of Saved by the Bell , the video on Youtube accumulated to date more than 30 million views. They can also put in programs that invite the cast of The Wonder Years looking move with the reunion of Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper. See how our heroes have aged or platonic love of television certainly is something that feeds the screen addiction.
