I feel like this is more true the better a given thing is. The better the original, the slimmer the chance there is that the remake will top it.
Yeah....lets get reboots of flops that had promise like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
This is the thing that kills me most, especially when it comes to video game remakes. I don't want to go back and replay a good game from my childhood with slightly better graphics. I want to go back to a game that I loved, which had a ton of flaws and weird issues, and see it get the final release it deserves. So far the closest we've come to that has been Dragon's Dogma 2, but I'd kill for something like an Arcanum remake, or the original Vampire: The Masquerade game, or Timesplitters.
I think the issue is that suits see art as a product to sell and get rid of, whereas creatives see a process that could use 2-3 more iterations. In our minds, it makes more sense to go back, give it a few more iterations, but suits just call it a profit failure and move on.
Keep the same production design though. That was fucking fantastic.
Fuck the car was beautiful.
Look at Batman. 85 years of reboots and there's still life in the old boy yet.
I didn't think they could top Batman-The Animated Series, and then Nolan and Heath Ledger [RIP] prove me wrong.
Agreed. The latest Batman movie with Pattinson is pretty good tho
