grey ghost Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Universal has revived two franchises recently, Fast and Furious and Jurassic Park. Just like Warner Brothers started the reboot craze with Batman Begins, did Universal start a revival craze? Will studios start trying to revive franchises using impressive sequels instead of reboots and remakes?

Killimano3 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I think if Star Wars blows up big we'll probably see a lot of franchises from the 80s and 90s starting coming back yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 WB did Mad Max this year. Wasn't that a remake, not a sequel like Jurassic World? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Fox has Independence Day 2 next year and Paramount has been developing sequels to the likes of Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun so it's not really a new trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wasn't that a remake, not a sequel like Jurassic World? George Miller refuses to call the film either a sequel or a reboot. He just calls the film a "revisiting". Miller claimed that after the first Mad Max film he doesn't really see a continuity or set time frame between the films, although he would think of 'Fury Road' as taking place after Thunderdome. In SXSW, George Miller also claimed that the previous three films exist in no real clear chronology, because they were always conceived as different films.

Gopher Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Bring on JAWS remake. It's BIGGER JAWS. We see the full shark 30 minutes into the movie. Jai Courtney ends the film failing to kill Bigger Jaws but Original Jaws comes back from the dead and eats them both. (actually, I'd totally see that...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubes Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The only difference between a reboot and a revival is a tenuous connection to the first film. I think, with "reboot" becoming a dirty word that filmmakers and marketing people have been increasingly distancing themselves from it. I think that when Tron Legacy came out, studios started looking at cult films in their back catalog to see if any were worth dusting off today. After, you started seeing the prequel to The Thing and production for MM:FR and JW really start in earnest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yandereprime101189 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Bring on JAWS remake. I'd really be interested in seeing how they would do a fifth Jaws rather than a remake. Maybe Spielberg can even executive produce the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Universal has revived two franchises recently, Fast and Furious and Jurassic Park. Just like Warner Brothers started the reboot craze with Batman Begins, did Universal start a revival craze? Will studios start trying to revive franchises using impressive sequels instead of reboots and remakes? I don't think Fast and Furious was "revived". They've been basically making those movies non-stop since the first one and all of them have done pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 If anything, Universal will bring back Jaws and BTTF, WB will bring back Gremlins or Goonies, and Disney will bring back Indiana Jones or Roger Rabbit. Spielberg productions are in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
