its why they would rather do a re-make of a foriegn film or anime or something from the 80s. its not that it would be GOOD or GREAT. its that they would need to spend less money on marketing while pushing out an inferior product.

somebody somewhere has a little formula that says if you remake this movie, you can expect X dollars from it with Y marketing and make Z amount.

but, god forbid you make a original movie, well, there's no formula for that. you'd need talent for hte script and directing and acting. too many variables.

and i blame the star wars remakes. ever since then hollywood figured out you could make complete crap and generate billions.
