Can you believe it's been 25 years since Relic Hunter first aired?! (25 years, 1 month, 13 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Relic Hunter end?
When Relic Hunter came to an end after 3 years in May 2002, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Sydney Fox (Tia Carrere). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Relic Hunter reunion disappoint people?
Relic Hunter aired from 1999-2002 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Carrere said she's not sure if Relic Hunter would work today. “I don't want to see old Sydney Fox,” she told a journalist (Carrere turned 57 in January). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Relic Hunter movie?
In a recent interview, Tia Carrere said she can't imagine a Relic Hunter reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Lindy Booth (who played Miranda Swedlow between 1999 and 2001) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Relic Hunter movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
What about a Relic Hunter reboot?
Recasting Relic Hunter for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Relic Hunter reunion, a Relic Hunter movie, or a Relic Hunter reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
