Shaft: Private eye John Shaft first roared to life on the big screen in 1971, winning great popular success and an Academy Award (Best Original Song), and inspiring two sequels, as well as a remake in 2000 with Samuel L.

Now another Shaft remake is on its way, this time with TV sitcom veterans Kenya Barris (Black-ish) and Alex Barnow (The Goldbergs) hired to write the script.
