With the original properties already owned by the studio who's producing them, they are relatively cheap, proven products to produce and sell. The story is basically written...all one has to do is transpose it...or "update it"...whamo blamo...instant movie !

Considering that most people of this generation of movie goers aren't that sophisticated to even know the original is out there, and conditioned and wanting of the new superduper special movies EFX more than story, it doesn't take that much to sell it. It's like making instant oatmeal. The merchandising of ancillary rights is the icing on the cake !!!!
