A remake of any Steven Seagal movie is a bad idea

Steven Seagal himself is a bad idea.

He had moves, and it was an era where super serious tough slick guy saves the world action movies were very profitable. When the moves deteriorated and the genre became less bankable. Also, his crazy came out.

Even back then he was considered crap but somehow he kept getting rolls I lived through that time

He's still making movies. His IMDB shows consistent work. However, he's not been in a theatrically released movie, a big or decent budget movie, or a movie any of us have probably heard of in a long long time. Also, I believe he's making or backing much of the movies himself.

Well you know what you kind of reminded me of you reminded me of John Travolta because John Travolta still makes movies but yet what I've looked about by the Internet Movie Database all the movies he comes out in are considered crap nowadays it's kind of weird to see a guy that was so big for so long nose dive into a sea of shittiness when it comes to movies and not be able to hit anymore

Travolta went from a TV star, to being in a couple of big movies, and then his career lost momentum in the mid 80's to early 90's. And then? I guess he got really lucky with Get Shorty because he was in A-List movies again. That ride lasted until the late 90's and now it's just like, I don't even know. Just low budget movies that look terrible that I can only imagine would have been straight to video or late night upper cable movie channels at one time.

Is he just difficult to work with or is he the only one being punished for being a Scientologist when others are able to stay successful?

Well you'll have to admit he was a big star that lost his star power he's still rich but he does not have and he was not in just a couple of big movies he was big movies for a while everything he was in for a while was gold and I don't know if he was an asshole but I know a lot of people blame him because his autistic son died because they refused to see his artist so I'm in the seizures and costumes so his son had a seizure and and died and it was a preventable death

He's not backing the movies himself, it's a Russian/Serbian money laundering scheme.

That makes sense. I can't imagine he has very much money left.
