Amazon's 'Galaxy Quest' TV Revival Back on Track With New Writer (Exclusive)
Never heard of Scheer.
Writer-actor-comedian Paul Scheer (The Disaster Artist) has been tapped to pen the script for the Paramount Television-produced series. Scheer takes over for the feature film's original scribe, Robert Gordon, who was on board to pen the script for the Amazon reboot.
The Amazon series is described as a new take on the cult movie that starred Tim Allen and the late Alan Rickman as well as Sigourney Weaver.
I LOVE "Galaxy Quest"... but I think that's a really terrible idea for an ongoing show.
sharehow is there a picture in that post?
I am looking forward to this TV show.
shareNew take = sjw take. Look at new star trek/star wars - you know this shit is coming.
feeble men, super strong women, gay/lesbian/trans - welcome to the new world order, even if it only exists in the imaginary world ^^
By Grapthar’s hammer, they’ll not have Alan Rickman channeling Mr. Spock, and I can’t think of any suitable replacement. I also think
a series is a bad idea. The need to churn out weekly episodes means the writing quality of the series won’t be close to the writing of the 1-shot film. The only film-to-series conversion I can think of where the series was a hit is Buffy—which was almost COMPLETELY different from the movie. LOVED Movie Buffy. BORED by vacuous TV Buffy.
This is just a bad idea.
