Outside of the Leslie Jones stuff (which was terrible), I think that Coming 2 America was alright :hubie:

I mean, they already have a plot with Pops being gone. I'll watch for hell of it but with the sparse cast and the unlikely probability that they can convince Chris Tucker to return for a proper sendoff, I'm not expecting much. They could use Nia Long, too.
A ‘Death at a Funeral’ type vibe possibly? There have been remakes of Coming to America and House Party, and thats damn near a 35-40 year gap for those movies.

It’s going to generate interest like I’ve mentioned in another thread, but they missed an opportunity to tie the franchise up nicely some time back. Pops was too integral to the franchise.

It could just be a sequel like house party 2 where they recognize that he's passed but are just moving on with life. But the death at a funeral concept works in a way to try to get old cast mates to come back

House Party 2 kept some of it’s comedic elements from the first, but it definitely had a more serious tone. It was somber, conscious, and touch on some pertinent issues. Not only it dealt with Robin Harris’ death, but it was also Kid finding his way through life.

Cube would probably lean more into a ‘Death at a Funeral’ atmosphere in comparison to House Party 2. The casting for this proposed Friday movie would have to be top tier, IMO. I could see Chris Tucker possibly returning if the movie is dedicated to John Witherspoon and if his character displayed some growth but kept some some of his humor.

Why??? John Witherspoon and Deebo are dead and Ice Cube is in his 50's. I don't want to see this nikka and Mike Epps or Turker all flabby dressing the same and acting the same as if they don't have 30 year old children nor would I want to see a passing of the torch:camby:Leave the good memories alone.
