    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.

    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.

        Good people can make bad art and bad people can make good art.

        We make peace with this now.
