No Ma'am!
The cable network, History, wants to remake ROOTS. I'm not kidding, they really want to do it.
Deadline reports that the cable network is planning a new eight-hour miniseries. They also plan to use the book Alex Haley wrote and the original mini from a contemporary perspective to put the series together. History has secured the rights and will start soon.
But seriously, I don't want to see this. We already have the original, we don't need an updated version. And what's with Hollywood's obsession with slavery? That wasn't a great time in our lives, can we get out of the Slave phase please? You want to tell Black stories, then let's focus on the our current lives. Nobody's checking for an 8-hours miniseries about slavery!
This is too much in the morning for me.
