15 Remakes Of 1990s Movies Coming In 2019 (And Beyond)

9. First Wives Club

Some of the movies on this list are being remade because they immediately and obviously lend themselves to being remade. Usually, that's because there's brand value that will guarantee the studio a return on investment (the only reason any film is remade when you get down to brass tacks).

More surprising - and more in line with the weird decision to remake What Men Want - is the choice of revenge comedy First Wives Club, which Girls Trip writer Tracy Oliver is also working on. The original was fun, but it was hardly a classic, even with a brilliant rendition of "You Don't Own Me" in there, but it's still being remade.

The remake, which will follow three spurned wives looking to get back at their exes will star Jill Scott, Michelle Buteau, and Ryan Michelle Bathe and Oliver says it carries a message that is universal, thus warranting another look:

"At the core of this one, it was just all about women and women finding their voice and their place. That’s something that’s timeless and something we could definitely use in 2019.”
