Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 1, 2015 Members Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hell f-cking no! This is one thing I refuse to watch be remade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 1, 2015 Members Share Posted May 1, 2015 Looking on the bright side, though, I'm glad to see Tyler Perry is nowhere near this one. If he were, you know who would be in the cast and you know they'd change the title to "Tyler Perry's Madea's Roots," too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 1, 2015 Members Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's still early though. There is still time for him to force his way onto this project. He'll play Kunta, Kizzy, Chicken George, and Missy Ann Reynolds too. I just wish this project wasn't coming into fruition. Some things are sacred and need to be left alone. Calling it now. Someone is going to do a Gone with the Wind remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 1, 2015 Members Share Posted May 1, 2015 This has disaster written all over it. I guess the people to blame here is the estate of Alex Haley? Whoever gave to go ahead to this project was greedy or foolish or both. I remember when Roots aired initially and it was the biggest thing on TV. Every kid and teacher at schoo was watching, it was a rare time when a huge portion of the country had a simultaneous experience. The fact this will be airing on these fringe cable channels means no one will see this but maybe that wil be for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted May 1, 2015 Members Share Posted May 1, 2015 Well, they've already done a sequel with Timothy Dalton as Rhett Butler and Joanne Whalley-Kilmer as Scarlett O'Hara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Lifetime? With their sterling track record I guess Lindsay Lohan will be Missy Anne and Lil Kim will be Kizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Ruining an iconic moment in television history. This is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
