It seems that the search for the new Nikita is over, according to THR, Maggie Q is in talks to play the title role in the CW’s “Nikita” reboot.
In the new series, “a new Nikita being trained to replace the original one after she goes rogue.”
The funny thing about this remake is that I recently started to watch the original 1997 series with Peta Wilson (I am currently on Season 3 and at the time I started I didn’t know they were going to do a remake), and it’s such a dark show that I am questioning whether the CW is the appropriate network for the remake.
And if you have seen the original Luc Besson’s 1990 movie, then you know what I’m talking about.
Let’s face it, this is a dark story and I’m afraid the CW is going to put a cheesy teenage twist to it and ruin it. But I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
