20 Movies You Didn’t Know Were Being Rebooted

With this month alone seeing the release of numerous remakes and reboots like Ghostbusters, The Legend of Tarzan and The BFG, it seems that Hollywood is endlessly plundering the treasures of its past instead of creating new properties.

The Naked Gun

After starring in the (flop) National Lampoon remake Vacation, Ed Helms is attached to lead this reboot/spinoff of the beloved Leslie Nielsen cop spoof. The actor is set to play a relative of the intrepid yet incompetent Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad, while Night at the Museum’s Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant have written the screenplay. Recently, however, Helms admitted that this one is stuck in development hell, so it might not happen after all. Fingers crossed, everyone!

Memento

With a narrative that's played out in reverse, and constant dropping of hints along the way, Memento, moreso than perhaps any other film, begs for a second viewing. Brilliantly constructed and completely engrossing from beginning to end, this head-scratcher from Christopher Nolan will take more than just a few viewings to fully piece together. Mark our words though, this brain teaser is well worth the effort.

Some brave soul will have to redo Christopher Nolan’s modern classic Memento, if the touted reboot of the 2000 memory-themed thriller comes to pass. The impetus for this comes from AMBI Pictures recently acquiring the rights to Exclusive Media Group’s film library. Other remakes of not-that-old movies under consideration include Donnie Darko and Sliding Doors. Yay?
