Movie industry focus more on remaking Average movies that had potential?

i never understood the hate for remakes. hell, every scorsese movie is a book adaptation. some of the greatest films of all time are from somebody else's creation. my only problem with remakes is if they try to recreate good performances instead of stories.

you can't remake scarface because it's synonymous with al pacino. you can't remake there will be blood because daniel day-lewis was the movie. but goodfellas could be remade (although it shouldn't be) because the story is the movie and there was no definitive performance (you could make the strong argument for joe pesci tho).

Yeah, they should remake that crappy The Seeker movie, and stick with the original story from the book.

Harry Potter stuck to the story and did just fine, but some reason film companies feel they have to drastically change the story of all ready popular series.

I wanna see a Terminator remake

They do it from time to time with the same result.

Fright Night comes to mind. Don't remember it being hella popular with anyone but me.

I would like to see a remake of The Last Dragon though. Don't know who would play Sho'nuff because Julius Carry is that role forever.

Fright Night is a cult classic. But alot of people never heard of it lol its a paradox.

Terminator is getting a reboot with Paul Walker

Paul Walker does look like a young Michael Beihn
