The 70's films are dated, and the Sam Jackson sequel/remake fell flat...
The Bond franchise showed new blood can revive the franchise with 'Casino Royale'....and that action/sleuth flicks can be intelligent and fun...i.e. the Bourne flicks.
I think Shaft can be a bit more than a 'blaxploitation' character by taking him to different countries (like he did in the 70s novels, even though the novels were lacking)...and making him a character that is smooth, down to earth, and resourceful...
Not too mention, having 'Shaft girls' that are black, white, Asian, and Latina....
I guess it's up to an adventurous producer, writer, and/or director....
Thoughts?
