Sadly, the public will. They just decided to make a "dark and gritty" rehash of Superman I & II rather a new Superman storyline, and even a bunch of freepers were praising that soutlless Transformers wannabe. Superman II was fine and didn't need to be "reimagined". The Spider-Man "reboot" was even worse -- they were remaking a movie that only came out 10 years ago and was done perfectly fine the first time around.
I wish people would stop paying money for these lazy warmed over storylines. The new Star Trek film was working fine as its own story in the first half the film, then they just HAD to recycle stuff from Wrath of Khan. If you try to copy Wrath of Khan, you're going to fall short no matter what you do.
Hollywood has always recycled ideas but they're really starting to nuke the fringe lately. Now they're remaking Carrie after they JUST remade it 10 years ago. ENOUGH ALREADY!
Sometimes remakes are better.
Usually they are not.
The USA networks remake of Moby Dick is so superior to the original it is stunning, and they made it for TV!
Why not un-earth another “Moldy Oldie” to add to this miasma?
Take the idea of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ and add three hot teen actresses to play young Terminators.
Add them to the plot line with either Summer Glau’s Cameron or Lena Headey’s Sarah Connor playing the vocal role(s)of “Charlie”. Sending out the young Terminators do their best to destroy SkyNet.
Just a thought.
I was shocked they rebooted Spiderman so quickly. But hey people went to see it and it made money so I suppose everyone is happy.
“Now they’re remaking Carrie after they JUST remade it 10 years ago. ENOUGH ALREADY”
Wow.
Many late season episodes of “Bewitched” were remakes of old episodes (now in color and with gay Darrin #2), I heard some were even remade TWICE.
If they are gonna remake everything multiple times why not something that sucked the first time but should have been good? The Star Wars prequels.
Did you hear about that upcoming new show featuring the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane brought to modern times? (and the fate of the world is at stake for some reason).
I guess after many decades of movies and tv people are just running out of ideas or getting lazy. Or maybe it’s the public’s fault, I don’t know.
Did you ever see “Videodrome” with James Woods? There’s a movie screaming for a remake!
