This is so weird. I enjoyed The Nice Guys and it was well received by the critics, but it did not do well in the box office. How are they justifying making this? Do you think some rich person really liked The Nice Guys and is funding this themselves?
That said, I can't say I'm too keen on the way they're handling this reboot. Nothing against the female protagonist idea, and a TV series is a good format for the premise, but the whole reason I watched The Nice Guys was because it had Ryan Gosling in it, so if he's gone, what's the point? And apparently they're giving it a modern setting so it won't even have the awesome 70s aesthetic of the film.
or is hollywood so scared of new ideas that it'll call something a reboot just to feel safe?
Christian White
I mean, it's literally called "The Nice Girls." So I think it's fair to call it a reboot when it's technically in the same series.
Chase Davis
>It's just like The Nice Guys except the story, setting, and characters are different
Jace Carter
perfect flick to vaginize. the original was trash but if they get some quality female actresses like amy shumer and mellisa mcarthy they'll be sure to queef it into glory.
Adam Wilson
I'd be offended if I was a woman.
Isaiah Gonzalez
I was about to insult you but then I realized your post was satire. Close call.
That said, who do you guys think they should actually get?
Andrew Anderson
it seems backwards to me. if i had to guess how this happened, i'd wager that they produced a show about two female detectives in modern times and when the wondered what to call it they just went with the nice girls and made it a "reboot" after the fact.
otherwise why reboot a two year old movie that few people remember?
Jordan Sullivan
Literally this jesus christ.
Luke Murphy
You know, that actually makes sense. Seen it happen with a few things. I guess if they have the rights to an IP, even one that didn't do all that great, it's generally more profitable than making it an all new IP.
Oliver Price
It's about Goose's daughter after she grows up. That's why it's in present day instead of the 70s.
Cameron Carter
I can't wait until they do an all female remake of no country for old men and call it no country for white males
Jeremiah Rodriguez
The entire glory and point and meaning of the Nice Guys was that someone in Hollywood still knew how to make a movie, and specifically a masculine and non-PC movie. Unless this is just the dead hand of feminism robotically ruining something guys enjoyed, a "Nice Girls" would have to require a complete reconceptualization. It would share nothing with its host product.
Anthony Smith
This is actually why every single movie nowadays is a reboot or derivation or sequel or prequel.
Joseph Jones
Oh shit. That would actually be kino.
Christian Garcia
Why are they calling it a "series" when it was one movie?
Adrian Reyes
satire but probably close to what it will end up being. Why not those 2? They're "funny" as fuck
Luis Miller
wouldn't she be pushing 50 by now?
Isaiah Nelson
It's gotten ridiculous at this point. Spinoff solo movies for random comic book villains that don't logical WORK solo, like Venom. I really want some of these to get trailers so I can get some idea of what the fuck they're trying to pull.
Jackson Cox
Seriously, dude? Because it's a reboot as a TV series.
Jack Cox
>specifically a masculine and non-PC movie. >masculine >Goose is emasculated constantly throughout the movie >non-PC >pushes the Jewish conspiracy theory that Hitler was following orders from the Knights Templar
Jayden Flores
Because one of them needs to be black and the other needs to be Muslim. Obviously. Think, man.
Michael Davis
>"DUDE WE'RE REMAKING YET ANOTHER BELOVED MOVIE INTO A BLAND FORGETTABLE TV-SHOW WITH DIFFERENT ACTORS, STORY AND SETTING. SURELY IT WILL BE A GREAT SUCCESS AS A RUSH HOUR, TRAINING DAY AND THE MIST
Jack Collins
i dont know, that sounds annoying.
Hudson Campbell
What the fuck?
The Nice Guys, although a fantastic noir crime comedy, isn't exactly a distinct plot with its own unique premise that deserves a reboot. Its just a typical crime mystery detective movie. The ONLY thing that separates it from the common movie is the writing and the two main leads. But otherwise you wouldn't be able to pick out its premise from a line up of ten other similar movies. So whats the point of remaking it?
Juan Scott
I thought The Mist actually was a success. Moreso than the movie, anyway. Like seriously, did you just call The Mist a beloved movie? What the fuck?
Ethan Flores
What makes Nice Guys distinct is that it's a modern throwback to classic 70s blaxploitation movies. Which for whatever fucking reason, they are getting rid of in this reboot.
looking for vehicles to cram women in, gotta capitalize on the female empowerment meme
Carson Diaz
Oh no how dare they sully this revered classic cinematic masterpiece with a cynical cash-grab sequel Who fucking cares
Leo James
Why?
The best thing about the original was that chemistry between Ryan and Russell.
Logan Foster
Inb4 the reboot is Ryan and Russell wearing wigs and lipstick.
Austin Morris
But, why?
Colton Adams
>I thought The Mist actually was a success. That's why it got cancelled after one season, yeah?
Isaiah Perry
>yeah? Yeah, I too can respond to only part of a post like they do on that website while neglecting the rest of it.
Leo Powell
>Ryan and Russell wearing wigs and lipstick This would actually be entertaining, so it will never happen.
Colton Allen
does hollywood just want to watch the world burn?
Logan Cruz
>I'm a fucking faggot. Yeah?
Camden Gutierrez
how are they going to make money if the world is burning
Carson Carter
>I'm a fucking faggot You said it!
Jack Davis
Trump seems to be doing pretty well.
Carson Harris
You are confused. Non-PC doesn't mean the characters are male Mary Sues. The complexity of it, the fact that he is often stumbling into the answer, but also that he's not totally hapless and regularly figures things out, is the best part.
Julian Stewart
I don't understand how politics remotely relates to any of this. Do you mean "non personal computer"? It's true, there were no PCs in the 70s.
John Cooper
>it's a reboot but we're actually changing everything about it.
William Myers
Isn't that literally what reboot means, you moron?
Elijah Torres
Main question OP, who is the writer?
Adam Sullivan
This is not shopped.
Jaxson Bennett
Is it so hard to read the article? >The Nice Girls will be written by Michael Diliberti, who wrote 30 Minutes or Less for Sony/Columbia.
Thomas Hill
desu I would love a new action series with hot female leads. Unironically need more of them.
Elijah Gomez
no, moron
Aiden Bailey
Loved the movie. If the series is half as good I'd definitely check it out
Bentley Morales
Sorry, I meant Mormon.
Robert Russell
What if we made 21 Jump Street only with women and we called it 21 Cunt Street? - some studio Jew, probably
Sebastian Gutierrez
imagine them trying to pitch this shit >"listen I know its gonna be a huge loss, but imagine how bad you'd be sticking it to the alt right"
Tyler Gray
>The black woman they're pitching it to nods thoughtfully. >"We'll take it."
Chase Miller
Japan does genderswaps all the time and nobody minds because it's fucking hot.
