Which makes me wonder, if you have to remake a movie, why pick one that's still watchable on its own? Wouldn't it be more productive to take a bad movie, with a good idea behind it and remake that?
I can think of several movies, where you think, "wow that's really a fascinating idea to explore" but that's fucked up with overblown effects, bad acting and plotholes the size of the moon.
I mean, if you have to remake a movie, because you lack the creativity to come up with something of your own, wouldn't it then be better to make something you can actually improve on?.
