A Gargoyles Reboot May Be In The Works With An Oscar Winner In Charge And We're Ready For It

By Tanya |

Who else spent their Saturday mornings sitting on the floor in front of their couch just because they needed to be able to be closer to the TV? Sure, our mom's said it was bad for our eyes, but for some reason it just felt like the shows got better the closer you sat.

Gargoyles was one the best of the best. It was a crazy story that featured weird characters and had a bunch of mythical lore, which was basically everything us kids wanted in a cartoon.

ABC

Everyone loved this show so much as kids and now, after over 20 years since it ended, there are rumors starting to swirl around that someone is planning to revive it.

Now hold on, I know what your thinking, "Reboots are the worst!" but they aren't ALL bad. If they are in the hands of the right people there's always the chance that they'll turn out incredible.

ABC

So who has been looking at our favorite cartoon? None other an Jordan Peele! His movie Get Out turned him into an Academy Award-winning director, and apparently a remake of Gargoyles is on his wish list.

Reports say that Peele has an idea for a Gargoyles movie and he actually pitched it to Disney already. The thing is, so far Disney has not confirmed whether or not they want to make it.

Richard Rushfield, and entertainment writer for The Ankler, revealed that Disney is taking their time because they are worried about the vision that Peele doesn't fit with their brand. He suggests that Disney is being indecisive because they suspect it could be a hit, but they are worried about the risk of it.

ABC

The thing is, if Disney doesn't make up their minds soon they are going to lose their chance to work with the Oscar winner. He's got a bunch of projects lined up for the next couple of years, and while he seems like he's excited about the possibility of a Gargoyles movie, he won't be able to wait forever.

ABC

And now that we all know it's a possibility, it's going to be the only thing we think about if they end up making the movie with someone else as the director. Hopefully they can figure something out, because Peele's talents would definitely work well for the dark and twisted world of Gargoyles, and honestly I think he could really get it right.

What do you think? Should Disney give Jordan Peele a shot at making a Gargoyles movie?

As far as kid's shows coming back, there are a lot to choose between. Whether it's a bunch of the iconic cartoons you grew up with, or the game show that you desperately wanted to be on, it seems like everything old is new again.

11 Years Later, Where's The Cast Of "7th Heaven" Now?

By Meg
7th Heaven was one of the few shows you could sit and watch as a family growing up. It was a wholesome show that still held our attention for over a decade. We grew up with the characters as they did, and everyone can probably list off five lessons they learned while watching. But now, 11 years after the show ended, what is the cast up to now? Let's start with the women. Catherine Hicks as Annie CamdenCWHicks played one of the best TV moms of all time, showing us that stay-at-home parents do more than just stay at home.

Josh Hartnett Was A Massive Star In The Early 2000s, So Why Haven't We Seen Him Since?

By Tanya
It seemed like Josh Hartnett was in every movie in the early 2000s, but now it's hard remember the last movie you saw him in. Touchstone PicturesWhere did he go? You probably remember him from the movie Pearl Harbor, where he played Captain Danny Walker, or Black Hawk Down as the character Eversmann. He has been in a lot of very successful movies, and was one of the biggest heartthrobs of the early 2000s. BravoSeriously, his IMDB page is just a big reminder of all the great things he's done. One of his first big movies was The Virgin SuicidesAmerican

She's A Little Bit Country, He's A Little Bit Rock & Roll, But What Was Really Going On Behind The Scenes?

By Tanya
Donny and Marie Osmond were the siblings that we all longed to be like. Why couldn't we get along with our brothers and sisters like they did? What was it about this singing and dancing family that just seemed weirdly delightful?  The show only ran for three years, but in that time, they managed to gain an enormous audience. They had both already seen some success in the business, with Donny singing with his brothers in their band The Osmonds, and Marie breaking out on her own topping the charts with "Paper Roses." ABCBut when 18-year-old Donny and his
