The Futurist Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 But that's sort of what Scream 4 did (it didn't have as much focus on the nostalgia aspect or the original cast) and that bombed as well. I think it's just really hard for popular dormant franchises to become popular again if they're not a reboot.Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious don't agree with you.

baumer Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I maintain that Sream4's failure is flat out criminal.Scream 4 is the 2nd best of the series. I do hope they make a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 But that's sort of what Scream 4 did (it didn't have as much focus on the nostalgia aspect or the original cast) and that bombed as well. I think it's just really hard for popular dormant franchises to become popular again if they're not a reboot. It was called Scream 4. No matter how much of the new cast it pushed, it was still advertised as a direct sequel to a series that a very small amount of today's youth have seen. I agree that the only way to successfully revive a franchise today is to quasi-reboot it. Star Trek is a shining example of a movie that appealed to fans new and old.
