EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
VOL. 16 - JUNE 2020

Welcome welcome, one and all. The quarantine persists and I would hope that if you're reading this, you are still social distancing and taking care of yourself. But - to paraphrase my jr. high sex ed teacher - just because you're playing it safe doesn't mean you can't have fun. And around here, fun means Movies! In EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN it specifically means the movies that are Remakes of older flicks, or Adaptations of some other work or even Long-Gap Sequels to some long ago film that someone was just dying to add to the legacy of.

Since the film world is currently light on premiers, I've expanded the scope of the column to include films meeting EOINA criteria coming to streaming services no matter when they were originally released. BUT, streaming services are notoriously difficult to track down release date info for so... basically I'm doing my best  here, y'all and many many thanks to Allison Yakulis, my partner-in-crime, for helping with the research here.

Without any further ado, let the Quarant-EOINA commence...

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:
