You can't throw a rock in Hollywood without hitting a remake — whether a loose franchise continuation or a full creative reboot, interest in mining new stories from what's been excavated at least once before hasn't waned in the slightest. If anything, the increasing frequency with which major studios are readapting their original films into a wholly new format is an indication that remakes aren't a trend with a limited shelf life. The quality factor, however, is another story altogether. Some remakes feel entirely designed around a studio's frantic desire to retain rights ownership, rushed into production and ultimately destined to become forgotten, while others actually breathe new life into an older story, making welcome changes that, in some cases, serve as a significant improvement on the source material.
