Title: Is there really THAT little originality left in the media?
Post by: Saxman on May 21, 2010, 12:49:57 PM
‘Nikita’ prepared to offer a solid female role model for young women, kinda (http://www.tv.com/nikita-prepared-to-offer-a-solid-female-role-model-for-young-women-kinda/webnews/84988.html?tag=around_the_web;8)

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:

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.

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