I mean THAT would save lots of money and since it'll cost $10 to see a 25 year old movie, they'll make more than it did originally back during initial release. {end sarcasm} This is getting ridiculous, but the real tragedy is that there are people that are out there that GO to see these remakes, thus making it profitable for the studios to do. If people stopped paying to see this garbage, then the studios will stop making them. Instead of spending all the money on remakes, why doesn’t the studio just re-release the original?

Hollywood wonders why the films aren't doing as well as they could... want some real advice from someone who used to LOVE the movies? Enough with the freaking remakes. Very few films actually deserve it, the story was told, it was good for what it was and when it was made. Let it rest. So many of those storylines have already been turned around slightly and rehashed that no matter how "fancy" you make it with CGI and all the other techniques, it's still a freaking rerun. Stick to the Darn material. Once you start 'tweaking' the storyline, changing details of the main character, altering the location, the time frame, the look, eventually all you have left is the name. If you can't logistically do it, don't. Put it on the shelf for a couple of years and wait until you CAN do it, or just don't buy the option at all. Look at the other media already existing. Try looking at some of the so-called underground material, that which shows up on the internet in a serialized form or has a small but loyal following in paperback. The "Broken Saints" series comes to mind, it was really good for what it was, but if it had been more animated instead of the stop motion application that it was I could see a nice series or two feature films made from it. Stop inserting drama for drama's sake and gratuitous violence/sex. if it is part of the story, fine, if not, it's filler, you don't want it in your food, you don't want it in your movie either. Enough with the merchandising blitz. when I see crap from a movie EVERYWHERE before it comes out, I burn out. After a bit I could care less if I actually see the movie at all, I've already seen the most exciting parts on a cup from a fast food chain, I've already seen the monster/villain/hero in the toy store as a poseable action figure, I see the commercial every 15 minutes on every channel, after a while I just don't care anymore. Hold back until the week before the movie premiere. Stop putting the stuff in the toy store 6 months before the movie comes out. Once the punchline has been heard, the joke is no longer funny. Sad.
