‘Nikita’ prepared to offer a solid female role model for young women, kinda

For the THIRD TIME in 20 years, French spy/action-thriller Nikita is being remade, this time as a television series for the CW.

Ok, yeah, we ALL know how producers love remaking things, especially things that have no NEED to be remade, but this is ridiculous.

No. Producers know that if they created new, interesting, and intriguing films and television the sheeple's heads would explode.

Stick with remakes, its what the people want and know. Throw in new Special Effects and a new sidekick and it's all brand new again  :rolleyes:
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

They already had the series on USA Network in the '90s. Wasn't too bad ether. You can get the dvd sets. So, yea, no originality there.

Very little if any originality and matters worth knowing or doing.  News companies pall.

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me....

Is This Alias 2.0 News Too Good to Be True?

It's not even FOUR YEARS and they're already thinking of remaking THIS one?!

They need to make a sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics somehow. Advance was a spin off more then a sequel in my eyes.
