It doesn't matter. It will make trash money and go into the dustbin of history.

Isn't she intutitive enough to make her own black woman revenge bank heist flick, surely she can come up with enough tropes of her own?

To be fair nobody has original ideas anymore.

Well, it's a legit question. Why ARE you remaking so much shyt if you supposedly so creative?

Like, tell a story that AIN'T been told yet. :martin:

This is dumb imo..its hard enough to pitch an original concept to the big wings, it's even harder if you're black..and it's harder than that if you're a woman..I'm sure their podcast concept isnt original either

i read the article.. it aint the perfect strangers from TGIF with Balky and cousin Larry ... its some 2016 Italian film shyt

The project is an English-language adaptation of Paolo Genovese’s Italian feature film “Perfetti Sconosciuti.” The story centers on a dinner party where a group of friends decide to play a risky game where they place their phones face-up on the table and agree to make all texts and phone calls public in an attempt to prove they have nothing to hide.

“Perfetti Sconosciuti” was released in 2016 and spurred local-language remakes in China, Spain, Greece, Russia, Hungary, France, Korea and Turkey. The Italian film won two David di Donatello Awards for best film and best screenplay as well as the best screenplay for an international narrative feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Rae said, “I’m really looking forward to bringing this funny and compelling story to a new demographic and could not be happier about partnering with the Spyglass team to make it happen. I loved the original film and think the story will resonate with audiences here as well.”

:rudy:Stop it. Spike had to come along with something original, so did john singleton

they're trying to manufacture greatness just so they can appear "woke"

Literally nobody was asking for this remake. Vivica Fox already said she's not fukking with and they should make their own movie. So lack of demand plus lack of original cast support EQUALS a flop at the box office that will be blamed on straight black men and our toxic masculinity.

Pathetic shyt you see coming before it happens :yeshrug:
