Seth Gordon is set to direct a reboot of the 1983′s War Games. Will Smith wants Emma Thompson to adapt 1982′s film version of Annie for his daughter, Willow. The only question is: Which reboot news do YOU find most exciting? I find them both equally as exciting, so don’t look at me.

  1. Dear Will Smith:

    Please stop raping classics from my childhood just because you want your kids to be an extension of your own fame.

    Sincerely,

    Facetaco

    P.S. Why did you give your children the same names as yourself and your wife, but switched up and modified for the opposite gender? That is weird.

  2. Will Willow Smith be starring in War Games too? If not why?

    • Because Jaden is already cast as the lead. And instead of confusing the computer with tic-tac-toe, he’s going to check in to Facebook to show that he is currently “not at a computer.”

      • I like how I managed to mock the idea of updating the movie by replacing their outdated technology while simultaneously showing myself to be outdated because I think that a computer is the only place you can use Facebook.

  3. And of course, Jay-Z is in on the collaboration of the Annie “re-boot.” Insufferable.

  4. I actually kind of love the idea of the new Annie. Maybe mostly because Emma Thompson is my hero.

  5. In the War Games reboot the computer will be named TENDERCRISPGARDENSALAD.

  6. I have this strange sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that Vin Diesel will be Daddy Warbucks.

  7. Will Smith IS Oliver Wargames.

    (It’s called a “mash-up,” Hollywood, and kids love em.)

  8. From the AV Club comments about fat Mac on It’s Always Sunny:

    I can’t wait to see what kind of crazy, philosophically-tinged thing I’m going to write about this over on Videogum! I BETTER DRUMLINE!!

    YA BURNT

  9. In the new War Games, the password to the supercomputernuclearlauncher is “frodo.” Just like in real life. (If a computer password is real life, I’m not sure.)

  10. The ‘War Games’ reboot will end immediately after the main character is asked ‘Would you like to play a game?’ and he ignores the question in lieu of watching his favorite porn on xvideo. The ‘Annie’ reboot will include MAYBE 20% of the original show’s music and replace the rest with sixteen remixes of ‘Whip My Hair B&F’ or whatever the hell that song is called.

    Remember kids, no matter who wins, we AvP reference.

  11. Gee i feel like Annie is so historically related. Not to be a kill joy, and I’m not being racist because history, but there are a lot of things about this story that just wouldn’t work…
    Unless they changed the time period, and FDR was Obama (because of similar economic climates, guys, seriously I’m not…c’mon don’t go there) annnnd they’d of course have to take out all of the redhead references.
    but, yea, good idea, will

  12. It’s a Hancock life for us.

    (Sorry for that, I just couldn’t come up with a Whip My Hair pun that didn’t sound lazy)
