Indeed......lol...smooch....
doing a remake saves on script writers fee, saves on creative input by director, camera angles and lighting is easier to set up by coping the original, editors job is a bit like cut & paste & the sound track is just noise in stereo.

OAK, Excellent point. Money, again. And speed and ease. It's sometimes hard for me to remember that movies and books and other art forms are also businesses. It took me a long time to accept the fact that in publishing books are products.

I love the remakes because it makes me interested more plus they can add new things to it.
"The Lord of the Rings" is essentially a remake but they didn't get it right the first time around -- they didn't have CGI effects, for one reason. I don't think anyone will think of remaking it once again unless it's in hologram 3-D.
The last remake of LAST OF THE MOHICANS was superior to the Randolph Scott version.
