Oh, look, they remade Chuck...


…as a feature film. Pretty sad, really, because there will be no Buy More or Jefster. I wonder if Chris and Josh want to shake a little coin from this blatant plagiarism. Assuming there's any coin to shake, which I'm kinda doubting.

You think Chuck was the origin of stories like this? lol

That's like saying star wars is a remake of star trek.. same genre different plot

Chuck itself was a blatant mash-up of elements from The Matrix, The Last Starfighter and light sitcom fair with surprising cult following from geeks like The O.C. and Psych.

I LOVE Chuck.. and the only real conection I could say was the casting of Tony Hale, who played Emmet Milbarge in season 2.. (and the first episode of season 3). I actually told someone, and in the way that The Big Lebowski is a Chandler novel.. American Ultra is The Bourne Identiy with a pot head subbing in for Bourne.
