Why a remake? Before you know it, they'll start remaking the remakes.

If this is going to be a jab at the current political climate, name it "White Nationalists Can't Jump"

 

[torre_avenue]

Kenya Barris is behind this?

Might be good.

 

[Glass Rebel]

You just know that they're gonna have some irrelevant white person tearing up over this shit on Fox news.

 

[LiK]

Clearly a movie for our current times. :/

'nuff said.

Wait, are you calling Aaron Gordon White?

 

[uncredited male]

Wait, are you calling Aaron Gordon White?

Break it to them slow.

 

[Nokagi]

Please stop.

 

[TickleMeElbow]

They should replace the white guy with a little Vietnamese dude or some shit.

My Viet friend Jeff from high school was like 5'4" and would tear shit up, and talk mad shit to your face while doing it.

Why a remake? Before you know it, they'll start remaking the remakes.

This is already happening.

 

[jessicar]

Kevin Hart and Chris Pratt

No, this movie screams Channing Tatum.

Pretty sure he's mixed race.

 

[Nokterian]

Yeah and this gif is so amazing when in use.

Uh...not sure how to break this to ya...

"Alt Right Men Can't Fuck"

'nuff said.

 

[cartographer]

"Alt Right Men Can't Fuck"

While this is a safe assumption, we can't ever really know for sure because body pillows aren't sentient.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

"Alt Right Men Can't Fuck"

I'm stealing this title for a porn parody

 

[Poppy]

white men 2.0: you can (not) jump

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Why a remake? Before you know it, they'll start remaking the remakes.

The third King Kong reboot is coming out this year. That ship has sailed.

 

[Anung]

Not All White Men Can Jump

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Best gif NA

 

[PhantomZone]

It doesn't need to be remade at all.

Blue Chips was another cool basketball movie from the 90's.

 

[illmatic22]

Surprised they didn't go for "White women can't jump"

lol

 

[Beer Monkey]

Atari Jaguar 2 confirmed.

 

[Brinbe]

Nah man... why remake it? I bet Woody and Wes could still go for a sequel.

And LOL you don't even need Aaron fuckin Gordon. Just use Tom fucking Chambers!
C'MON SON

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Just saw this. So fucking stupid. Really getting sick of Hollywood. Just make a damn sequel. Woody and Wesley could star in it. Maybe Rosie if she wants. It catches up with them years later still doing their thing.

There is absolutely no reason they need to remake it. You'll never top the original.

 

[Jamie OD]

What will it be called, White men still can't jump?

Not All White Men Can't Jump

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This shit ain't regulation!

 

[jblank83]

I feel like half my reactions to topics are just this picture, including this topic.

White Men Can't Jump didn't need to be made in the first place. Remaking it is, like... I don't even know.

 

[StoopKid]

Rosie Perez can still go.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

'nuff said.

Nope, but...

The one time that Chase Budinger can be mentioned in 2017!!!!

 

[Romez]

Blackish is amazing, this could be good.

 

[Discotheque]

I like the writer they got but fuck a remake. I loved woody and snipes

Good luck finding some comparable ppl. Especially for woodys character. Zac Efron or Liam Hemsworth...disgusting possibilities incoming

 

[msdstc]

Was this movie popular enough to warrant a remake? The movie pretty much lived and dies on their chemistry.

 

[Grifter]

Perfect star vehicle for Bieber

 

[BibiMaghoo]

No.

Don't do this.

 

[eot]

Pathetic

 

[kswiston]

Is this really all it takes to remake shit these days?

The first Point Break made $84M worldwide in 1991.

They spent $105M on the remake.

 

[The Kree]

Dania Ramirez for Gloria.

 

[Scum]

 

[ChouGoku]

In b4 right wing pc outrage

[ThisGuy]

That would be awesome. I loved the first movie.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Kevin Hart and Chris Pratt

I kinda wanna see Hart dunk on Pratt, movie magic indeed.

 

[ZackieChan]

The third King Kong reboot is coming out this year. That ship has sailed.

"Third"

 

[Bobby Roberts]

White Men Can't Jump isn't even really a movie about basketball.

You could probably do a lot of shit in updating it that Ron Shelton was kinda poking at in the original (toxic masculinity, specifically)but didn't really go all the way with.

Although I don't know how you replace the dozens at the beginning. You can't just do that whole thing all over again. I don't think it'd really work now.

How much you wanna bet the car radio argument goes from "You ain't hearin Jimi" to a fight over whether or not Billy Ho can say the N-word when rapping along to whatever's getting played?

 

[Discotheque]

A sequel would be preferable. Oh God somebody name dropped fuckin Chris Pratt and Kevin hart. What trash that would be

Have you guys seen the new apes trailer. Woody can still go

 

[Glass Rebel]

Y'all know damn well that Dwayne Johnson is gonna be in this.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

The most important thing:

GET. ACTORS. WHO. CAN. BALL.

Like, the Coens made sure to get an actor who could play guitar and sing for Llewyn Davis. You gotta get people who can put up a jumpshot that doesn't make me instinctively cringe like 85% of all basketball scenes in cinema history.

edit: Now I'm wondering if they're gonna flip the dynamic so that it's George Clooney as a grizzled old Larry Bird type doing the hustling.
