16 Movie Remakes & Sequels To Look Forward To In 2019
What a year for movies!
Walt Disney / Warner Bros / Pixar
Remakes, reboots, and sequels are the norm these days, with film makers looking to what’s worked best in the past to revamp it for a modern audience.
While you’d think that formula would work well every time, it’s really hit and miss and we often hit back when we hear that some of our fave classics are being remade - I.e. The Lion King. No one wanted that touched, but here we are…
It’s best for us not to be cynical from the get go, because some reboots are spectacular and the sequels we’re getting lately - WOW!
Want to know what’s in store for the year ahead?
Whip out your diaries and note these down!
