You've seen it since the dawn of time, movies will constantly be redone. Why? If the originally one was perfectly fine why take your turn with it? Whats the difference even between a "Remake" and a "Reboot"?
I don't know if you have herd the recent news or not of the "Reboot" of the Rocky Horror Picture Show but it is in fact coming. They are even in talks right now of signing the "Glee" director to do it. Why the Glee director? In case you haven't herd that either Glee is doing their own version of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Prefect reason for him to get the job right? bullshit if you ask me. Whats even more of a bullshit move to me is how they even want to reboot this movie anyway. It's one of the best cult classics and is still widely enjoyed. The only reason i can think of to redo.. excuse me.. reboot this is to draw in more money and make it known to all the mindless Glee fans that there was in fact a Rocky Horror Show movie.
Another recent reboot was of "Star Trek". I feel a little differently about this one because it came out with a style and attitude that (forgive me for saying Trekkie's) the original series and films were lacking. And on top of the new found style it had new aspects of the story, such as Spock's (spelling?) mom being killed with the destruction of their own plant. I understand why this is a reboot because the way they set this up they can take the story in a new direction with a new fresh cast.
As for remakes... this one makes me so upset i can hardly stand it. Nightmare On Elm Street... this film by Wes Craven was fantastic, and changed horror films forever. When I herd there was a remake on the way I was stoked but a little hesitant. Upon watching this piece of shit i was so disappointed. All they did was add a few more shots other then that it was the exact same film, with nearly all the same deaths. Only difference being that they could now update their facebook status that they were being picked off one by one by a sweater wearing killer. There was absolutely no reason to redo this movie at all. The only thing good that did is it just justified all the more that Micheal Bay if a worthless good for nothing producer, dircetor, and man.
I now see why we have reboots and not remakes. Not saying i agree with either being done all the time, but sometimes it can be worth something and fun.
Their are lots of reboots said to come out in the next few years, here are a few.
Spider-man
Ghostbusters
Rocky Horror Picture
Hellraiser

Daredevil (rumored)
Superman
