Remakes can be amusing. Many cinephiles despise the word because it

conjures up images of executives simply remaking a previously released film

with a shiny new coat of paint in the hopes of cashing in on a well-known title.

[{"selector":"#anim-88ffd722-825e-4c0d-a62b-403ae5d533f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d3d9f7d-d6ba-4231-bf5c-3bfad392a092","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 64.98451%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It gives rise to new arguments for the demonstrably false belief that

[{"selector":"#anim-77c036b4-b93a-4753-936c-43503700ae5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f83ec37c-e5e7-4d76-be77-df161e7cd36c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 64.98451%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

"Hollywood no longer makes original films."

However, this is a misconception.

Obviously, there are many bad, pointless, and creatively bankrupt remakes –

[{"selector":"#anim-21d35482-3934-4b44-834e-4c997fd15966","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b5fb5b19-803f-4c20-91a5-2be2a334a82e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 64.98451%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

but there are also those that can turn an original take into an asset rather than a liability.
