You mean take actual risks?????

No, none of that for my profit margin

Movies are being made to mitigate risk. Take a polar thing and just do that again, that'll suck people in right???

God forbid they do something new and interesting with the material, that can't possibly work.

The only time I can think of where a remake ended up working out was with the recent planet of the apes movies. Where, you know, they took the premise and did something new and interesting with it. But even THEN, there was a completely different remake that failed to innovate outside of the last few minutes and those were confusing are best.

But the remake doesnt make much money tho

All that Disney live action remake bullshit somehow makes money otherwise they would have stopped.

That said, I'm eagerly awaiting Netflix's take on ATLA

[-] Mamertine@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

The superhero movies would say otherwise.

They make the studios a lot of money with a very similar formula.

I was talking about disney remakes. Anyway what are the super hero remakes ?

[-] Brekky@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I know the Disney remakes are considered a flop by Disney standards but I thought they still pulled in a big chunk of change?

I mean, shit on production companies all you want.. but if I was selling a product and people were finding easier and easier ways to simply copy it for free then I might get a bit... risk averse..
