Sony's Future Movies

Sony Pictures have announced some changes in release dates of some of their upcoming movies for the next few years, a lot of these we knew were coming out, some we didn't, but now we have a set list and set release dates. Except we don't, because i'm willing to bet more than half of these movies are either going to get cancelled or have their release date changed, because if there's one guaranteed fact about Hollywood, anything that's planned more than 2 years in advanced is not going to happen. So let's take a look at these films.

Money Monster – 8th April 2016
The Shallows – 24th June 2016
Ghostbusters – 15th July 2016
Patient Zero – 2nd September 2016
The Magnificent Seven – 23rd September 2016
Underworld 5 – 21st October 2016
Passengers – 21st December 2016
Jumanji – 25th December 2016
The Dark Tower – 13th January 2017
Resident Evil 6 – 27th January 2017
Bad Boys 3 – 17th February 2017
Baby Driver – 17th March 2017
Barbie – 2nd June 2017
Uncharted – 30th June 2017
The Lamb – 8th December 2017
Bad Boys 4 – 3rd June 2019

So for a lot of these films I have no problem with, i mean i have a problerm with another Underworld and Resident Evil movie, but that's life. Some of these i kind of laugh at, others I cringe at. A remake of Jumanji for example, now when it comes to remaking classic films, i have no problem with it as long as you can bring something new to it, but let's face it, what makes Jumanji good isn't the story or the effects, it was Robin Williams, without him, that film doesn't stand the test of time, so remaking the film, especially this soon after his death feels almost like they're spitting on his grave. Now it could be really good, it's always possible, but who are you going to get to replace Robin Williams? No one.

Then there are the Bad Boys movies, making sequels this long after the last one...who was asking for a Bad Boys 3!? More so, who was asking for a Bad Boys 4!? And I see Sony hasn't realised that you really shouldn't plan out more than one sequel at a time, because if Amazing Spider-Man and Terminator Genisys have taught us anything, you have to wait to see if the film released is successful enough to warrent a sequel. Then there are the plans for a Barbie movie...but not just any Barbie movie, a live action barbie movie...because in this day and age where feminism in the media is taking such a strong stance, especially with a studio like Sony...Barbie is their leading lady? Seriously, who wants to see a fucking Barbie movie!? Finally there is Uncharted, which i would love to see a live action Uncharted movie, the problem is, they've been trying to make this damn thing since 2009, they have no script, no cast and no director, and this is supposed to be released in theatres in less than 2 years from now? Hollywood, when will you learn? Stop setting release dates before you have a goddamn movie!
