Over three decades after its original release, a beloved Disney classic is reportedly getting a follow-up, and this time, the story will be led entirely by women. The long-awaited sequel comes 32 years after the first film captured audiences' hearts, marking a fresh and modern twist on the nostalgic sports classic. With an all-female main cast at its center, this is another reimagined franchise at the hands of Disney in the 21st century.

Over three decades after Cool Runnings first won over audiences worldwide, Disney is reportedly gearing up for a sequel. According to insider Daniel Richtman, Cool Runnings 2 is in development, putting a fresh spin on the beloved 1990s sports comedy by centering the story on an all-female bobsleigh team.

Watched True Romance for the first time since the first long ago. I liked it way more this time. I think a lot of times a movie is based on our own mood at the time of watching.

Also tried to watch Heat again, I did not get the love but thought I’d give it a whirl with the accolades, I couldn’t make it through it again. Holy crap, edit something. Totally drags at parts. Car chase and gunfight scenes do nothing for me.

It’s totally a personal preference thing. I love zombie universes but superhero universes are stupid and ridiculous. It’s not consisttant. We should get some pronouns for our movie preferences.

Has to be one of the all time greatest scenes on the big screen.

F1 was good. I don’t give a rats ass about auto racing, but this lured me in big time. It’s definitely got the Bruckheimer cheese to it and the grossly obvious product placement and F1 marketing was lame. I can’t not like Brad Pitt. I want to buy a car racing game for the switch now.

Watched Eddington last night, started kind of slow and then turned into a very entertaining movie. Probably not for everyone but I enjoyed last hour and a half. 7.5/10

I guess my issue with it isn't so much "lets take a story and gender-swap it!"

Thats been done. Not well, but its been done.

But I think what irks me a little is that this was a 'True Story.' I have some reservations about changing the underlying facts just for the lulz?

Its almost like changing the facts in a Documentary. Sure, Hollywood 'hollywood-izes' 'based on a true story' all the time, but this...? I'm not sure. Maybe there is a whole other plan where its a group of women inspired by the original men's team or something?

I hope their bobsled coach is Jack Black.

I guess not even Sanka Coffie is safe from Disney. Yikes.
