Nino's rise to power was pretty much covered in New Jack City anyway.

Who really gives a shyt what he did as a street kid? It's going to be predictable af.

It's gonna play out like the beginning of that movie, Blue Hill Avenue from years ago....when they were kids.

This seems spot on. When I heard dude explaining the premise (some type of global operation, crypto or something like that) it seemed nothing like New Jack City. Dude seemed confident in the script and he is talented but I wasn’t really feeling the idea.



Lord

If they turn nino into an IG scammer :francis:

I still haven't watch Coming to America sequel because I don't want it tainting my perception of the classic.

don't think I'll be watching this one either.:mjcry:


TLR hates everything.

I appreciated Coming to America 2 for what it was. Basically it was descent fan service

New Jack City worked because New Jack Swing was at peak popularity in 89-92. NJS is gone and isn't coming back...

A crime movie based on today's music and cultural trends? Straight to bootlegg stream status....

I can see it now...
- Skinny jean gangstas that are 25 but the size of twelve year olds...
- Eye tats
- Incriminating messages over social media platforms with emoji for the plug
- Recording crimes over TikTok
- Feds and pigs not needing a UC to infiltrate the organization since all the dirt is live-streamed.
- DojaCat, Janelle Monae, Cardi B, Kehlani, Saweetie, cameo and/or soundtrack
:hhh:

I don't mind villain origins as long as the writers don't go out their way to make them some misunderstood anti hero. As long as they let Nino be Nino I'll watch.
Most villains in their origin stories are gonna fall more in line with anti-hero, their extended time in the dark corrupts them.

I just hope that they don't try to justify Nino. Nino is a villain and the OG movie has established that Nino was a narcissistic sociopath even in his youth when he was talking to Scottie on the rooftop.

We see in the beginning of the film that G Money introduces Nino to crack. Which blows Nino up and creates the CMB. But how successful was Nino before that? And off what?

If the same people behind Snowfall do it(excluding John Singleton) this could be dope. FX should be all over this imo. Would be much better as a series than a movie probably.
