Title: Why Do They Do It ?
Post by: mongers on December 01, 2012, 09:48:28 AM
Remakes, modern versions of a 'classics' why do some artists do this, other than for the pay check ?

For instance, what was the point of this:

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds - The New Generation

Liam Neeson's OK, but he ain't no Richard Burton.

Lack of imagination and originality.

I can't wait for The Walking Dead musical, "Rick and the Amazing Technicolor Walkers".

Studios and producers won't take risks.  Take something that earned some bling before and repackage it.  That's a winning strategy.

So is the question about remakes or about "modernized" versions of older films/works?
