Remakes and reboots are as old as Hollywood. I don't know why anyone is still surprised or upset about it.

If you want to watch a movie like Ghostbusters, just go watch Ghostbusters. John Carpenter's The Thing was a remake, but it was way better than the original. |

Too-much money has ruined it, just like pro sports and a lot of product design. Nobody will take any sort of risk anymore, because there's too much money at stake, and so much money involved that even passable performance keeps everyone rich. |

It's like nobody can come up with any fresh ideas anymore.
It appears that all the Hollyweird crowd can do is plagiarize their predecessor's works. |

That website has AIDS. I had to click a link to open the OP's page, then clicked another link which opened another website to actually read the article. Fuck this thread.
Also, aside from The Batman they should just stop. I enjoy the new Batman movies and didn't think Affleck did a bad job despite hating him so I'm interested in seeing the new one. |

Oh and actually, John Carpenter's The Thing wasn't a remake of the original movie, it was another adaptation of the short story Who Goes There? and a much more faithful one too. |

Hollywood does rely on a lot of remakes and reboots nowadays but at least 50% of that list will never see the light of day. Some of those have been in talks for over a decade and have gained no traction.

It's all about money. You have to prove that the movie will be profitable before you can get money from the studios. It's a safe bet to do a remake or sequel.

I'd see a re-boot of The Black Hole. Make it a little less sleepy and more like the book. Re-boot Das Boot?!? good lord. The movie (the 5 1/5 hour version) is a perfect rendition of the book. The actors fit their characters perfectly.

A remake means the studio already owns the rights to the property (so no extra money paid to creative people for a new IP), the script treatment usually writes itself (so again no extra money outlaid to writers), there is usually a good level of brand awareness already existing (so built in marketing) and finally you can sometimes draw name talent to a remake as they want to "do their take on it". Remakes are safe gambles... and when you have built an industry that needs billions of dollars in income just to continue to exist, you need as many seat filler safe gambles as you can get. |

0% chance that I will pay to see any of those 111 remakes.
If others would show the power of the purse and refuse to see yet another remake, hollyweird would eventually get the hint and stop remaking this tired crap. |

I finally saw the new "Magnificent 7" last weekend. It actually wasn't bad. I was trying to match up the new characters with the old ones. They didn't track them exactly.
It was more another in the line of sequels than a remake. ("The Dirty Dozen" is pretty much the same story as well.) |
