Someone’s earned the right to be bi*ch-slapped — thanks to CBS’ latest pilot order.
The network is developing a reboot of Training Day — the movie that earned an Oscar win for Denzel Washington, and a nomination for Ethan Hawke — to be executive-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman (CSI), Antoine Fuqua and Castle scribe Will Beall, the network announced Monday.
The logline for the pilot — which, like the movie, will be directed by Fuqua — is as follows: In this reimagining that begins 15 years after the film left off, an idealistic young African-American police officer is appointed to an elite squad of the LAPD where he is partnered with a seasoned, morally ambiguous Caucasian detective.

Wait till yall make a bet or let him borrow a dollar or some ? , "Jake give me that money". -
This wont survive on CBS.
Not enough initials in the title. Their old ass demographic won't tune in. -
so they make Jake's character black and Alonzo's white?....go figure
it would be better had they just did a spin-off with just Jake's character...and had it on cable TV like HBO or Showtime -

It would be better if they just came with an original new cop drama instead of trying to ride off Training Day. -
classic movies don't make good tv shows... I mean damn look at coming to america lol.

Should have done a show about Alonzo's turn to corruption. Follow him from a rookie to leading this band of corrupt officers, showing how he crossed the Russians in the final season and came to choose Jake.

definitely would have been more interesting if they made alonzo the opposite of ethan hawks characther focusing his rise through the lapd -- alonzo making all the wrong choices, descending morally as hes ascending within the department or even having ethan hawk as the seasoned veteran training a new cop
but cbs really prides themselves on their moral values to make a show about the irredeemable bad guy
itd be watered down like a mfer -
on second thought i would love for cbs to go ahead and do this
they couldnt come within a country mile of the source material
i think it would be unintentionally hilarious -
-
Cbs??? Why not fx or something like it? Cbs too safe for a proper training day.
-
They think they slick with the role reversal too. Imma slap somebody at cbs.
-
Over/under 5 episodes before cancellation?
-
Hollywood must be ? nuts to come out with some bs like this
-
these tv execs have no shame. they will throw anything at the wall, to see if it sticks. meh. u couldn't pay me to watch this.

Son they really had the audacity to pull that ? like they did with Rush Hour. Blatantly trying to make black men seem weak on these shows smh. -

Rush hour, lethal weapon, and now training day. I wish they'd stop tainting these good movies with these wack ass TV shows

Merged since the t/s seems to forget he makes threads on the same topic.
