Vince Vaughn to Remake 'Brady Bunch': Great Idea, or More Hollywood Recycling?

Here's the story ... of a man named Vince Vaughn .... who is co-developing and executive producing a modern-day reboot of "The Brady Bunch," Deadline reports.

vince vaughn

The original sitcom, which ran from 1969-1974, famously featured two single parents who married and merged their respective three kids each, for a total of three girls and three boys (and let's not forget Alice, the housekeeper.) And that's how they became a family.

In the new reboot, a divorced Bobby Brady (one of the three sons) has kids from a previous marriage, is remarried to a woman who also has children, and they also have a biological child, Deadline reports. Their ex-spouses also play a role in their lives. Certainly a more modern take ... but are you sick of Hollywood recycling the same-old shows and movies over and over again?

    Don't get me wrong, I would be delighted to see remakes of good, clean, warm, family
    and kid friendly shows, such as the Brady Bunch, return to living rooms across North
    America, along with similar just as good, just as clean, just as warm, and just as family
    and kid friendly new shows being developed for the small screen. Unfortunately, in recent
    times, comedies have become more bawdy and less family and kid friendly. One show
    that illustrates this is Two an a Half Men. As much as I would like to see remakes such as
    the Brady Bunch reappear and succeed, sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    I can say at least I'm glad that it's a follow-up series, not a total rehash.

    I am a fan of Vince Vaughn but this does not surprise me. There is not an original idea left in Hollywood and the good writers are long gone.

    It is the best anyone is going to get. Thank GOD for NetFlix and Hulu where I can still get the classics.

    When the writers went on strike and the airwaves began to be filled with "reality" shows. we lost it at that point.. and it' ain't comin back.. We are fast moving toward... "Idiocracy"... sad really.. there used to be some very creative writers.. wonder whatever happened to them.

    I was never a fan of the Brady Bunch in the first place; they were just TOO GOODY GOODY,
    Hollywood needs to start paying writers and get new intelligent material for ADULTS, and I don’t mean XXX.

    They can make up a blended family of anything now a days. They don't have to redo the Brady Bunch. Modern Family takes the place of the Brady Bunch.

    One could argue that there hasn't been a NEW story plot point since Shakespeare, and that they're just rearranged with new order and dialog. That's no excuse for re-using entire shows because you're too lazy to come up with a new setting.

    There's a big difference between inspiration and rip-off. How many more times are they going to remake Spider-Man? Titanic? Conan? Superman?

    sadly, such a formulaic production probably will find a market niche with teenagers and be profitable

    Why not, I enjoyed the two remakes of the show that were done in the 90's. The show lends itself to comedy. I'd rather see this than superhero movies.

    Nothing new out there so recycle everything. Maybe vaughn needs to get a new brain.

    When will it end?! I go to movies once every 3 or 4 years now, and have canceled my cable tv and never watch regular tv at all. Hollywood is all but dead to me. It's so sad I want to cry. :(

    Good grief, can't they get any original material any more? Have all the stories been told, and all the movies already been made?

    It'll probably be filled with political undertones rather than be an innocent family comedy.

    Weary of the remakes...where's the imagination these days - we seem to be reliving all the stuff we watched as kids.

    Leave the classics alone. I didn't watch the remake of the Beverly Hillbillies nor the Munsters. I have an issue about original cast. The only way I might even consider watching is if the original cast was somehow integrated into it ( and I don't know if they are even still around)

    ..there was a later Brady bunch movie than really sucked; why would anyone want to resurrect the Brady bunch when the original 60's version sucked so bad...

    Waste of time and talent. Hollywood has to quit the "copy cat", "remake" and "sequal" cycle. New and fresh material is needed. More and more boring copies of past successes are makeing people tired.

    Didn't we already have 2 movies in the 90s? Nobody is asking for more Brady Bunch. What a colossal waste of time and money a brady bunch reboot would be.

    Absolutely not! There's a reason why these remakes keep flopping at the box office. They're getting old.
