I'll go to Hollywood and do the entire world a favor and take care of all the idiots studio execs who keep greenlighting crappy reboots and remakes.

Not only are you correct, but the same stories have been told, retold, and adapted since humans have been telling stories. Every hero quest is a retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh, and almost everything else is a retelling of a Shakespeare story. It isn't that people lack originality, it is that people relate to these tales in a very deep way. These things work for a reason. Have there been plenty of duds and complete rip-offs? Of course, but because something is a retelling of a past story means nothing. It certainly doesn't automatically mean it is going to be bad.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt when they did that atrocious prequel movie to Carlito's Way in early 2000's

But Brian De Palma 1983 film starring Al Pacino, was good. Yet it was Scarface (1932), that formed the basis for it: my point is that there is nothing inherently wrong with remakes, reboots, etc : only thing that matters is whether they are good or bad...

I would remake only movies that had good script, great potential, but were ruined by limitations of that periods PCness, tech limitations etc.
I.e. I do not want to watch King Kong with a guy in rabbit fur suit. I want CGI'd gangster King Kong that is tearing things up. But man, this is movie about Cuban gangster that took over drug traffic in USA, and movie is insane great. There can't be new special effects, new "facts". I mean, Diego Luna will play Tony Montana better then Al Pacino? Some currently "hip" actress will play coked up Elvira better then Michelle Pfeiffer? I mean come on. Their performance is flawless... |
