Remade Movies?

They are remaking movies which is stupid because no one is original. I mean, I want to be a movie director and trust me, I have better ideas to make movies. These movie directors now day are adding series, which is dumb and there also touching classics: Footloose The Karate Kid The Thing Tron Gears of War Halo Dance Dance Evolution The Grudge 3 Jeepers Creepers 3 Zelda Street Fighter Prince of Persia Sims the Movie Final Destination 4 Underworld 3 Terminator 4 Nightmare on Elm Street Friday the 13th Jurassic Park 4 Hellraiser The Brazillian Job Spiderman 4 The Transporter 3 Ghost Rider 2 Irobot 2 i am legend 2 The Departed 2 Transformers 2 Dragon Ball Z Shrek 4 Toy Story 3 Zero 20110 Beverly Hill Cops 4 Sin City 2 Crank 2 The Punisher 2 War zone My Question is, Why are they doing this.

1. What's your question??
2. i am looking forward to seeing the final destination 4, sin city, friday 13th (jared padalecki!!) and toy story i cant blv they are making nightmare on elm street and hellraiser!! =O ..i hear they are making a donnie darko 2 as well..they really need new ideas
3. A couple of these movies I am looking forward to... for the pure fact, like you said, that no one can come up with an original idea for a movie anymore. Everything is sequals and remakes. I want someone to make a really good horror film. Everything in that genre has been crap lately.
4. i agree with the first answer; What is your question anyway? )= )?
5. I dunno why, but just don't watch them lol. I wish they would make an updated version of Somewhere in Time. I love that movie and I love Jane Seymore and Chris Reeves but I'd love to see some new fresh faces play those roles.
6. Surprising as it may be,sequels and series films have been around-well,since there have been movies. There are,The Thin Man"films with Myrna Loy and William Powell,The "Tarzan"films with Johnny Weismuller and so on,but it does seem,almost without exception,that remakes never come anywhere near the level of the original,even if they changed the title(common in the studio era)make it a musical("The Phildelphia Story" became,"High Society")and of course there's the remakesof"Invasion of The Body Snatchers"(John Carpenter)and "The Thing"(also Carpenter)but beyond that,look at Gus van Zandt's almost shot-by=shot remake of,"Pyscho"!!?WTF! So what's needed is a new batch od talent that's not willing to"play the Hollywood game" and stop making crap in the first place
7. Pretty much every film today is either a remake or adaptation of another film so very few films are all that original to begin with. I do agree that they should leave some of the classics alone, but i don't worry too much about the remakes because the classics are always there, they're never going to disappear and some remakes and sequels actually turn out pretty good. I'm pretty sure that "Sin City" was always meant to be a series. "The Punisher War Zone" should be seen as more of an adaptation then a sequel. "The Departed" was a remake of the "Infernal Affairs Series" so that was never an original story. So it's more likely that "The Departed 2" Will be more original than the first one.
8. i think they should come up with better ideas for movies... it's not only in the US that re-makes are "in",here in the Philippines,re-makes are also the "in" thing.... i also think it's good in a way coz the newer generation gets to see the old movies being re-done,kinda like bridging the generation gap thing...
9. A sequel is completely different than a remake. A sequel is a (hopefully) new story with the same characters. A remake is taking the same story and trying (often very badly) to redo it. Psycho with Anthony Perkins was a classic. Psycho with Vince Vaughn was a pathetic copy.
10. Is this an actual list you got somewhere that shows planned remakes and sequels? There are a couple here I wouldn't mind seeing. As for original storylines for movies...there are millions of books out there that provide a depth of story ideas that could be turned into movies. Of course you'd run into issues with followers of the books who disagree with changes made from book to movie, but as long as you view each separate from the other, you won't have any problems.
