EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN 8

Howdy, all! Welcome to another installment of Everything Old is New Again, where I keep you abreast of movies (and in this instance also a few TV shows) coming down the Hollywoo pipeline that are either remakes of-, long-gap sequels to- or adapted from some pre-existing intellectual property.

For those who don't know, the way this column works is: I watch all the available trailers and preview footage of stuff coming up in March & April, then I do a little research into its source material. Just enough to give me an idea of what I'm supposed to be seeing, but I primarily go by what the trailers show me. Trailers can be misleading, of course, but having grown up loving movies, I like to think I have a decent instinct for these things.


Every other month, Moviejawn lets me do this column (thank you!) and every single time I'm surprised by how many films there are to cover. Some look good, some aren't for me and some...I just don't know. Check 'em out below, see what you think:

Blackbolt & Captain Marvel in CAPE FEAR

It's less of a capital T- Thing nowadays but I grew up in an era where comics didn't have the widespread pop-cultural appeal they do now.

Basically the forever-pre-teen version of myself that lives in my head sees a comic reference and yells "Aw, sweet!"

So that just happened again the other day, re-watching Cape Fear (1991) when I spotted these in Max Cady's (Robert De Niro's) prison cell collage:
