zoe kravitz is playing rob; high fidelity on hulu

Not sure yet if I like this idea or not.

 

The original was a rare movie-better-than-the-book situation, it will be tough to measure up.

 

But I suppose Kravitz could make it work with her rock and roll+acting bona fides. I'll miss Jack Black though.

Movie or show?

About the only thing I dislike more than reboots is a reboot seemingly for the sole purpose of having a racially or sex- balanced cast.

show - 10 episodes.  strikingly similar to what hulu did a few months ago with "four weddings and a funeral".

there's a different trailer (the one on hulu) which even has her walking down the street after just learning of some new gal in her ex's life, and she yells "what fucking ian guy?" like in the movie.  but not ian, whatever the new girl's name is.  there will be a lot of overlaps.  and the lisa bonet parallel is hard to ignore.

You obviously aren't woke enough. They have an even fatter black, female actress in his role.

Yes but can she Marvin Gaye

Maybe this is a sequel. She is Cusack's and Bonet's kid.

Is horrible, this idea.

Christ, you really feel old when the daughter of one of the exes from the original movie you saw when it came out is now old enough to play the lead in the reboot.

Well the movie was 20 years ago and Zoe was 11 when it came out

hm.  supporting cast was key to the first one.  supporting cast looks like they provide zero here.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

terrible idea. obligatory woke cast. why remake something that was close to perfect when you have zero chance of recapturing that magic?

When you put it that way, she's too old for me
