Parker Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A reboot of the popular 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is reportedly in the works. According to TVLine, original series' lead Will Smith is spearheading the project, where he will serve as producer at Overbrook Entertainment. The show is reportedly in the early stages of development, and will provide a modern-day take on the show that skyrocketed Smith's acting career, but still retain the spirit of the original show. Overbrook is believed to be finalizing its pitch now, which should begin making the rounds to networks within the next several weeks. Source: IGN Oh yes.

Popular Post xZoneHunter Posted August 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't think this needs a reboot. The old show still holds up pretty well... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon-Archon Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I agree with ZoneHunter, the old show is still amazing. Besides it's impossible to find actors that can replace Will, Carlton, Jazz, Geoffrey, and Uncle Phil.

Avatar_Of_Battle Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I wonder how a reboot would do...sucks that uncle phil is dead in real life. I think it will be a better as a 90's show than a show in today's world. To be honest I haven't liked a comedy since Friends though so this might be something I keep an eye on. If this happens they better have damn good actors. As of right now I can't see anyone playing Carlton's part without it feeling forced and fake.

juddat9700 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Next thing you know Seinfeld gets a reboot. There are somethings that don't need a reboot in my valueless opinion. Maybe a re-air could introduce new fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDSHIRT64 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Completely unnecessary... I watch the old episodes all the time... There is no way this could ever size up to the original show and cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Also, Cracked coincidentally joked about this very thing today, and I can't help but think it was a bit of self-fulfilling prophecy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Why not just a sequel series after the first show ended with the original cast? Carlton as a father would be pretty funny but then again, no Uncle Phil Reboot is so unnecessary since the original was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigressLion Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 People start petitions pr campaigns to get servers or shows re-started. I say we create a campaign to stop this! It'll easily get 1,000,000+ signatures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Lazy, lazy, greedy studios. They'd rather squeeze every drop out of something that everyone already knows then take any kind of risk on new material. Fan of the show. I just hope they don't try to match it exactly. Update it, modernize it make it original with throwbacks to the show. Theme song has been stuck in my head since this morning, pure coincidence seeing this news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Shows how popular the show still is (sure, it was a couple of years ago, but I doubt the crowd's reaction would have been any different today). I don't think it should be remade, a rerun or continuation like Death_ninja suggested would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnacharya Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Why is this necessary? It's not. Studios are short of ideas, so we're getting this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar_Of_Battle Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Now that I see him... If they cast Will's son anywhere in the reboot, guarantee this show doesn't make it a full season.

SeobabyGoguma Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 They would be better off releasing a remastered blu ray set, with limited copies having cast members' signatures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
