Odds are you’ve heard someone gripe that “Hollywood only makes sequels and reboots” or “Hollywood is running out of ideas”. While statements of that ilk heavily rely on generalities, they certainly apply in some instances. One such case is Easy Rider.
According to Variety, the Dennis Hopper-directed cult classic that captured a generation of outcasts, hippies, and renegades is next up on the Hollywood remake assembly line. While Columbia Pictures distributed the original film, the adaptation rights currently belong to Maurice Fadida’s Kodiak Pictures, the Jean Boulle Group, and Eric B. Fleischman of Defiant Studios.
