I personally hate a remake and I think it's dipping in the low end of the creative pool to remake a good film for a fast buck.
Mind you, I have no problem with making money, I just think that remakes are a bad choice creatively.
Prove me wrong: comment a remake that is actually better than the original!
Let the remakes of Fame, Footloose, Beauty & the Beast, Cats ... inspire the conversation!
I continually use #RejectTheRemake on social media CONSTANTLY. I encourage all writers to do the same. There are SO many great, new, fresh ideas... rehashing what's been done stifles the chances of them reaching the screen.
