Peacock’s “Bel-Air” gained an enormous amount of slander before it premiered and the crew was kind of on edge with releasing the show!
Universal Studio Group Chairman Pearlena Igbokwe said reboots and remakes are here to stay but they need to be “interesting” and have “vision,” as she revealed “we spent a year hearing people tell us how horrible a Fresh Prince remake would be. When someone comes to us for titles in our TV and film library we say ‘tell us your vision for it’,” she added. “The bar is higher when you tell someone you are remaking their favourite show.”
Igbokwe said Universal put up with a year of criticism around the Fresh Prince Peacock reboot from fans of the original cult 90s classic. “And then people watched it and loved it,” she added. “So we will continue to see reboots but the bar is high.”
Do you agree? Is the bar for reboots really higher now because of the worldwide success of many reboots?
