    depends how recent the movie/show is. but currently reboots of old movies are often terrible compared to the original.

      Instead of remaking or rebooting successful movies memes. how about vou remake old movies memes that flopped or movies memes that suffered from bad effects and improved them?

    I think the answer to the question she asks is that an unholy alliance of focus groups, market analysts, and accountants have calculated that the Path to Most Money ™ goes over in the opposite direction, away from the fun stuff.

    I’m sure there’s usually good low budget feature-length stuff out there being made, but in today’s media landscape it’s up to the viewer to find interesting and unique content. It isn’t going to be blasted into the faces of all the passive viewers like Avengers 37 will be.

    We need a full remake of the movie Brainscan. I loved that movie as a kid and always dreamed of the day when games became so real you couldn’t quite distinguish virtual from reallity. Brainscan does a okay enough yet extremely 90’s take on it and its just a fun, cheesy, and nerdy horror movie. It would be fun to see what an actual talented writing team and production crew could do with that same story adding what we know now.

    We need a murder mystery that takes place at a Disney world resort or park, produced by Touchstone studios so it can get the R rating. Targeting Disney adults. Disney gets to have their park as a backdrop and set piece for the movie. No ‘unmasking’ any of the characters, none of the characters did it, and they might actually help out in some cheeseball fashion. The park appears to otherwise be operating around the movie events.

    Disney’s been trying. ‘Once More With Feeling’ is a whole podcast about the reboots. Did you know Disney remade Pete’s Dragon and The Shaggy Dog? I didn’t.

      That’s actually a fairly good take - they could make a bunch of old scripts and make them enticing to license, and couple that with a small fund to seed some ultra small-scale productions (by Hollywood standards). I like it.

      Couple that with remakes on whatever gets traction and it could prove short term profitable as well as raise the overall long term value of their vault. (I hate that this analysis is needed, but unless we change copyright law, this buy-in would be a necessary step.)
