[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 9261265, member: 6799660"] I pulled that list together mentally to include stuff that has failed to come back to market, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carter_(film)']came back and bombed[/URL], and stuff that has been revisited but only sparingly. Monty Python (well, some of the movies of Monty Python) still have some cachet. However, aside from a few stage adaptations of the movies (which are very much a [I]'hey, remember that thing you really love? Would you pay expensive-date-night dollars to go see that performed live?'[/I] kind of nostalgia-fest, and deliberately so), it isn't really tramping new ground. So far as I know, the tabletop game didn't take the world by storm, and they aren't trying to make new Monty Python movies or shows (there is talk about a Cleese attempting a Fawlty Towers remake with his daughter, and all I can say is I hope he hasn't invested his life savings in the project). It seems very much that all the MP marketing has kinda been someone realizing it was all turning 50 and putting out moderately priced tie-in products for people who see the content mill articles on the subject and suddenly remembered that they really liked that thing way back when. That kind of thing is fascinating to me, but it's kind of the opposite of trying to turn an old property into a revived IP. It's deliberately not doing anything of substance new with it because changing it to capture new people isn't really the goal. [/QUOTE]
