The news of the remake, reboot, or reimagining usually doesn’t make anyone bat an eyelid these days. However, the announcement of the remake of the long-forgotten 1995 legal thriller Just Cause made quite a buzz entirely based on the involvement of one of its key players. The remake of the John Katzenbach’s novel adaptation revolves around a death row convict, who eight years after the fact, calls in a low professor to protest his innocence. As usual, the esteemed veteran, played by Sean Connery, discovers key evidence that was overlooked the first time around, but the authorities don’t seem interested in exonerating Laurence Fishburne’s alleged murderer.
The film’s box office collection of $63 million and a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 26 percent indicate that the film isn’t held in high regard today. Yet, Scarlett Johansson, who played Sean Connery’s daughter in the original, will take on the lead role and produce the series’s episodic overhaul. It marks her first-ever leading role in a television project.
While the choice of someone who starred in the previous version to produce and lead the remake is debatable, it marks a full-circle moment for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ahead of the upcoming Just Cause V2.0, Prime Video subscribers have been revisiting the original movie in large numbers, with FlixPatrol revealing it to be one of the platform’s top-viewed titles this week.
