Because nobody will fund a huge production that’s based on something that didn’t do well. Are you nuts? Are you going to go up to people and ask for 50 million dollars or whatever and say we’re going to take this thing sucked that nobody liked and we’re going to redo it.
I mean, they’ve made how many Percy Jackson movies? Pretty sure no one likes any of them.
They knew how to do this in the 80s. Little Shop of Horrors, The Fly, and The Thing for example. All remakes that far surpassed the cheesy originals.
That’s Dune for you.
I won’t stand for this slander of David Lynch and Kyle McLachlan.
Good people can make bad art and bad people can make good art.
We make peace with this now.
