I don't think it's got anything to do with directors thinking remakes will acheive similar status - it's just a Hollywood formulae because Hollywood has no balls, no ideas, no direction anymore and is purely run on business principles.
Most remake directors are 'appointed' or 'bought'...
There's too much risk in making a film of a potentially viable film that never made it first time round.
