10 Upcoming Movie Remakes NOBODY Wants

10. The Garfield Movie

Garfield the Cat is one of those characters that everyone knows, and has enjoyed popularity for a long time. It's been almost five decades since the ginger cat made his first comic strip appearance, but is anyone really asking for another Garfield film in 2024?

It's been 20 years since Bill Murray first voiced Garfield in a role he famously regretted, and while the trend for studios right now is playing on nostalgia and reviving old franchises, it's hard to see the new iteration hitting the mark on any level.

To its credit, it has an impressive cast, boasting the likes of Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddington, Nicholas Hoult, and Ving Rhames among others, but even taking this into account there isn't much to get excited about. On top of a certain amount of potential audiences feeling something of a Pratt fatigue, with the Guardians of the Galaxy star having received an inordinate level of voice acting work recently, the trailer offered no compelling reasons to part with your hard-earned money.

Every joke fell flat, and it just screams of rebooting a franchise for the sake of it. It may not even be particularly offensive when it releases later in the year, but there is a strong feeling that the time, talent, and resources being poured into The Garfield Movie could be better served elsewhere.
