On the heels of Tom Cruise’s announcement of a forthcoming
Top Gun sequel, MarketWatch published
an article this weekend titled ‘Hollywood is running out of hit ’80s movies to reboot.’ A sequel to the Tony Scott-helmed 1987 film is just the latest in a long line of film properties from the 1980s that have been updated for “modern” audiences like
RoboCop,
Friday the 13th, and
Ghostbusters to varying degrees of success.
