<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Hollywood is yet again reportedly rebooting another classic&comma; but I have a feeling there will be some mixed reactions to this one&period; <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;deadline&period;com&sol;2019&sol;09&sol;new-jack-city-reboot-warner-bros-snowfalls-malcolm-m-mays-writing-1202742986&sol;">Deadline<&sol;a> reports that &num;WarnerBros is rebooting &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;New Jack City” with Snowfall’s Malcolm Mays writing the script&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The original film was released in 1991 and had an all-star cast including Wesley Snipes&comma; Ice T&comma; Chris Rock&comma; Flavor Flav&comma; and Mario Van Peebles&period; It isn’t immediately clear if any of the movie’s original actors have signed onto the project&comma;

Bill Gerber&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Before y’all get on Mays for touching the Cash Money Brothers&comma; y’all might want to put some respect on his name because he’s been putting in work&excl;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;
