In my opinion, they shouldn’t take 70’s sitcoms and make major motion pictures out of them, but then, no one asked me. It looks like a remake of ‘Welcome Back, Kotter’ is in the works. I loved the show, but I can’t imagine what it would be like as a movie, and especially with other people playing the roles of characters like Barbarino and Horshack. I mean really, who can replace John Travolta?
They’re already floating the idea of who will play Gabe Kotter. Are you ready for this? Ice Cube. Right, the rapper dude. If this is any indication of how they expect to fill these roles, the movie will stink. First of all, the obvious – Gabe Kaplan is a white man. See any problems with this? What? Will Freddie “Boom Boom” Washington be played by Johnny Depp? Puhleez.
Destined for a KMart bargain bin near you.
