It's 100% a good thing it's getting saved, deserves it. Not sure about the idea of expanding it though, it's appeal solely rests on the nostalgic connection to the original trilogy. No-one wants The Young Adventures of Miyagi or The Next Karate Kid Part II

You think since Hilary Swank won an oscar she thinks she's too good to come back to being the oft-forgotten leg of the Karate Kid franchise?

Flash Gordon - Is it because of Brian Blessed being a negative stereotype for Hawkmen?

More likely fake-asian Max Von Sydow...or the guy in brightredface.

I know people moan about endless reboots but I'm happy with anything that brings a new audience to the original via the reboot. Also, the pilot will be directed by Fred Savage himself.

Julie Salwahla has hit out against Aardman and Netflix after learning that they will be passing her over to reprise the role of Ginger in Chicken Run 2 because they say she is too old for the role. She says that they haven't even tested her voice to evidence the claim and to prove her point has released a recording of her delivering some of the original films lines next to the 21 year old recordings which show her to sound practically identical.

I think what'll push this to being a bigger story is if Aardman announce the actor, and it's a bit of a nobody. Mel Gibson also isn't coming back (though admittedly that's probably to do with how he's since become a controversial figure) and from looking at her filmography, she hasn't been particularly active in the last 10 years (putting aside the "actresses of a certain age" problem which could just as likely be the cause).

If Aardman get a top-tier name they can put on the poster, then perhaps that's the reason why. If not, then it does feel a bit malicious.

This is a bit like when the actor who played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movies - and subsequently played Shaggy in everything for a decade - found out he wasn't going to do the voice in the new movie from Twitter.
