10 Movie Remakes You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2019

1. Shaft

Shaft 2019
Warner Bros.

Shaft, or Son of Shaft, is easily the most WTF remake on this list, and perhaps of all time. The blacksploitation series has already been rebooted once in 2000 with Samuel L. Jackson in the lead role, but the latest reimagining is actually set to merge every incarnation of the character, bringing together three generations of Shaft in one movie. That's right, by the end of 2019 we'll have a Shaft cinematic universe.

Unfortunately, while that sounds hot-damn amazing, there's a good chance the flick's great premise is probably going to be squandered. The director doesn't have the best track record, helming the original two Fantastic Four movies as well as Ride Along and Think Like a Man. Consequently, Son of Shaft (or whatever it's going to be called) will probably be yet another middle-of-the-road mainstream comedy.

But my god will everyone see it.
