In Reply to: Some Thoughts On Remakes. posted by AudioHead on February 28, 2006 at 06:04:37:
It is common to blame the Hollywood for all those trashy remakes, but the reality is simple - it is Remake-R-Us situation, where the makers simply give us what we are demanding.People love reliving their former good experiences.
So there is less of that logical, analytical approach that you are suggesting, and more simple business.
BTW - a related question: could the multiple takes of the same classical literature be considered "remakes"? I mean of course things like War and Peace. I doubt you will call the Bondarchuk's film a remake... or would you?
