Gabe Kaplan was in the Chicagoland area recently signing his new book. He also announced an upcoming "Welcome Back, Kotter" movie in the works with ICE CUBE as "Mr. Kotter".
If this is true, I say, "DON'T come back, Kotter!"
First of all, the 70's humor would be lost today.
Secondly, remember the movie remake of The Honeymooners"? It bombed. So will this...PERIOD.
Finally, "Modern humor" wouldn't be "Kotter"
I don't care if any of the orignal cast show up in the movie...it'll BOMB!
Never made.
Mr Iglesias is a remake of Kotter.
They should leave these classic shows alone, IMO.
